It was a nice and affordable hotel! It's close to shops and close to the beach!
There is 1 parking space allocated for you in front of your room and plenty of parking on the street! The driveway is a bit narrow so I suggest parking on the street if you have a big car! We stayed during winter so the beds having an electric blanket was a nice touch! It doesn't have a heat pump but there is a room wall/room heater and an electric fan provided. The twin rooms were located near the main road so it is very noisy. You can hear the cars passing by at any time of the hour which made it difficult for a light sleeper like me to fall asleep. So if you're a light sleeper, I don't recommend getting the twin rooms. It is an old motel so the door locks are not modern locks. Other than that, it is a fairly good place for its price.

This was one of the better motels we have stayed at. We stayed 8 nights visiting family. It was very convenient to the motorway, just across from the beach and near toJackson streets many Op shops. The unit had everything we needed- a good shower, a comfy bed and clean towels daily. We had some washing done for us reasonably priced. It was collected and returned to us dry same day. We would stay here again.

Aspects of the room not maintained and run down. No heating in bathroom, it was like a fridge the night/morning we were there. Overall OK for a bed and shower for one night. Very good location on the scenic Petone foreshore and a short walk to Jackson Street. We enjoyed walking the neighbour and taking in the historic buildings and facades.

When i arrived i found the expedia website had changed my search criteria from 3 adults to 2 adults. I showed the staff member my search criteria from my phone which was in my history. I therefore had to pay an additional 40.00. I selected the motel because of the reviews and the price. I probably wouldnt have selected that motel as i could have got cheaper one.

Close proximity to the foreshore, and Jackson St for browsing multiple second hand stores for books and plenty of dining options.
It is somewhat dated but clean and the bed was comfortable except for the hard plastic circle from the electric blanket that tended to gravitate into the right side of the bed.
There was only 1 bedside lamp - none on the right hand side on which I sleep and like to read from before sleep. In the kitchenette there was only 1 teaspoon and the dessert spoons were more the size of serving spoons.
Overall quite adequate for our 2 night stay

This property was dirty overall. The walls were dirty, the shower needed a good clean, the room smelt. The bathroom which faced the main road had no blinds for privacy; even though the glass was frosted it still would not provide the respectable privacy required. Overpriced at $179 per night. Stayed at several hotels during our tour of NZ that were cheaper and were excellent.

A handy motel if you're after something that is pragmatic & basic. Even though there are signs of natural wear, the cleanliness & tidiness of the property is spot on. Staff is helpful & lovely.

Firstly My wife was surprised there was no SKY TV! We just assumed it was still there. You may want to update the motel guest books in the room.. I notice the last date for this was 2013 on the tv channel page. Your carpark is tight for modern vehicles and some people could be forced to park on the road if you are not in early. I managed to park by the office on the first night because of congestion in the carpark... Yes cars and utes and bigger now than ever or are they? Remember Valiant and Falcon in the 1970s? I guess the motel was built in the late 1970s? .. Just pay to change the kitchen light bulb.. Other wise I enjoyed it

A room here is very expensive for the quality of the room: $156.00 when really it's a $85.00 room at best. Painted concrete block walls, just barely enough amenities in the room.

Our stay was a very short one of 7 hours instead of 1 day, due to our ferry arriving in Wellington over 7 hours late. We very much appreciated that the hosts left our room unlocked and the key inside as we got to the motel at 1.30am.
The unit was compact but had everything we needed for a short stay. Bed was comfortable and shower was very good. Unit very clean.
Motel was easy to find after leaving the ferry despite driving in heavy rain. Had hoped to have a great view of the Wellington harbour but weather was not playing ball.

A bit run down, not very clean. The bed was in serious need of replacement. Great location, walk to Jackson St but that is about all it had going for it.

Clean, no frills, and perfect for a night’s stay. The shower HD excellent water pressure. Close to restaurants and all that Jackson Street has to offer. The beach is just across the street.

Dry poor condition of all amenities at the motel. The beds were old and sunken the shower and toilets were dirty mouldy ceilings leaky plumbing near toilet bowl.
The pictures on Expedia is certainly not what was at the property.
The bedding configurations had changed.
The Internet was intermittent and st night just didnt work. And older couple next to my unit complained that other people were parked in their parking so they used ours hence we had to park lumped on the garden curb.
To be honest for the money I paid, the condition of the hotel and it’s facilities were beyond acceptable. It’s in dire need of a renovation.
Had stayed there some 3 years ago when it was owned by someone else who obviously kept it in better condition.
Stay only if you must but if you are looking for comfort and worth the money you are paying, I would not recommend it esp I stayed 2 nights

OK for a short stay.

I am not completely sure why this motel is rated so high, but I was not comfortable here. The staff member at the front desk was friendly. No issue there. But the room was dirty and there were mysterious stains on the comforter. They did a terrible job of cleaning my room during my stay. I think the price was a bit high for what I got. That said, it is good for just sleeping and showering. It was also a good location. I was in the CBD area in about ten minutes.
