Found it very hard in the dark to get key. numbers on keypad were too small to see. had to contact out of hours staff.
I left at 10am and hoped the reception would be open so i could say thank you, but was closed. i would have liked some contact with the staff so that i did not feel i was just an unimportant number.

Walking to the nearest shops for a takeaway is kind of scary, because this is not an upper-class suburb. You can, however, feel safe when you walk to the Middlemore train station. From there, you can quickly go anywhere on the Auckland transport network. This makes Middlemore Motel a clean, comfortable, and economical place to stay for your Auckland visit.

Check in was strange as we kept pushing the door bell and ended up ringing up to get the key. The bathroom was huge and very convenient but hanging your clothes in the bathroom is not suitable unless there is an iron that we need to request. As we enjoy hot drinks, the leaking jug was not helpfull, and the fridge was not fit to have any cold liquid standing up so our milk always leaked as it sat on its side. All beds made you feel like you were rolling to the middle. It was fit for purpose and satisfactory enough for a family of 4 but please consider putting a wardrobe in the single bedroom as bags ended up in the kitchen area so would not get wet in the bathroom

I love the location of the motel. It’s quiet and yet close to the airport. Very clean and spacious.

The only one problem for me was the check-in hour. It was kinda late as my flight to Auckland was early in the morning and i couldn’t check-in until 12pm. So it’ll be great if the manager can adjust the check-in time to coincide with guests flight schedules.

But all in all, i had a lovely time at Middlemore Motel. I would definitely stay there again and also recommend friends and family who will staying overnight at Auckland. 💝

Motel was good, problem is the the low life long term tenants paid by the government to stay there.
At least half the people in there are long term ,we witnessed a domestic while we were there and during the night we didn't no what was going to happen next.
As a result my wife and i got little sleep with people coming and going all night.
The actual room was good and clean and staff friendly, just the other bedbeats staying there ruined our stay.

OK budget hotel

This is a very old motel. However, the staff were helpful, the room was clean, the shower was good, and the bed was reasonably comfortable. The area is noisy, with ambulance sirens. I don’t think there is any soundproofing, as some guests were noisy, slamming car doors when they came back late at night. The curtains aren’t really blackout, and the light outside the room stayed on all night. I’m a light sleeper, so next time I’ll spend a bit more and stay somewhere else.

Noisy and hot

This is an older motel that has been updated to a degree. Unfortunately, when we were there it was very warm (>30° C) and there was only a fan, no AC. The AC units are being installed but weren't working. We were in #9 which directly backs a very busy road, Hwy 14. You know there will be noise problems when the front desk has a large dispenser (think gum ball machine) with free ear plugs. \"Fortunately,\" the fan was so loud it blocked out some of the road noise. :( The bed was comfy and room and linens were clean. Cannot recommend and wouldn't return.

Disappointed

Shower was great, unit was clean but otherwise very disappointed.

We have stayed here twice before, however this time the unit appeared to be rundown, carpark was littered and messy.

Drapes barely covered the ranchslider, painting in the bathroom and toilet looked like it had been done by a 5 year who didn't know how to keep within the lines.

Majority of power points didn't work, and upon checking the fuse box, it was heavily coated in thick dust, unable to use TV as none of the power points near it worked. No remote for the airconditioning. Crockery and cutlery were mismatched.

Admittedly it had been a long day for us, and once we arrived we changed into our pjs and didn't complain to the manager, as we couldn't be bothered being moved to another room (if one was available) and had no instructions on who or how to contact anybody.

Close to airport

I chose this motel because it was close to the airport. This was the only factor in its favour. When we booked in we had to provide ID, we had stayed in 4 other hotels in New Zealand and hadn’t needed to provide ID in any of the others. The room was smelly and grubby And the walls were so thin you could hear all the noise from outside and the neighbouring rooms. The door handle came off in our hand on entering the room and we had to fix it before we could get out.

The room was clean and tidy. Parking is a bit tight due to a small forecourt. But the main problem we had was with the local community which looks to be mainly tongan. We stayed not long after tonga got knocked out of the rugby league world cup and from when we arrived around 3pm until around 1 am there was a constant stream of cars covered in tongan flags racing up and down the road tooting there horns and screaming at people on the street. not good when you have an early start. So facilities were good unfortunately the location wasn't
