The receptionist was amazing!! Room was very basic, there was tee, coffee etc but no milk. Basin was not attached to the vanity. The heat elements were taped so to not turn them on, we didn’t need to use it however. Good tjo for tie price but the reception last was top notch especially the (Indian and I’m not being racist) lady when we checked out!

This has always been one of our favourite hotels in Auckland due to the split level family rooms, friendly staff, and proximity to the motorway, restaurants and Rainbows End. On this trip (staying in room 22) we felt the general room upkeep has deteriorated. The milk shelf was missing from the fridge door, the battery was dead in the clock, the upstairs curtain rail falls down when you shut the curtains, the inside of the jug was rusty so we were too scared to use it, and the TV wouldn’t connect. It’s almost like management need to stay a night in each room so they can pick up on little faults that aren’t immediately obvious at first glance. It won’t stop me staying here again because as I said we love this hotel, but I make these comments to manage people’s expectations.

The staff member that checked us in was lovely, talked to our child and asked questions etc very nice :) Room was adequate for what we needed to for this stay, however we only received 2 towels for 3 guests we made it work as we discovered it so late in the day evening to our travel plans. Clean and tidy, sheets clean but stained unfortunately, but would stay again. It rained a few times and there wasnt a dry way to get up to our room but this was not a deterrent. Air con worked amazingly, tv was also adequate. There was quite a lot of rubbish and mess about the puside of the rooms and bushes/carparks surrounding but the rooms were fine. Good shower however no extractor fans so it did get quite muggy when we used this

My stay at Rayland Motel was generally a good experience. The room was comfortable, and the overall service met expectations. However, there were a few maintenance issues that could be improved. The toilet was not flushing properly, there was no hand wash provided, and the kitchen lights stopped working during our stay. Addressing these small issues would make the experience even better.

Great location for access to South Auckland and motorways, a very easy walk to the Westfield Manukau.

We stayed in a one bedroom suite.
Young kids loved the stairs and the windows down to the main area, from the bedroom upstairs. We popped the single mattress from downstairs into the upstairs room, to sleep all four of us in the one space.

Toilets took a few flushes to completely clear, which was a little unnerving but okay. We also popped a little paper in some of the road-facing windows, just to get a better seal from the road noise - others might not be bothered by the noise though.

Staff were awesome and so willing to help.
Overall, we enjoyed our two nights stay here. It was a good base for our activities.

It's not the Ritz but the price was right for our family of 4 and also worked for us. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. No milk in fridge, only have those cream small packs. We stayed up in the two storey unit had bathroom down stairs and toilet upstairs so that was good. Good Aircon as well but you can hear people in the unit next door walking up and down the stairs and sometimes talking and at times it can sound very loud in the early hours of the morning. Unit was cleaned on the daily and fresh towels bought in so that was nice. Couches and chairs need to get upholstered as were ripped or had holes in them. It is tucked behind shops and their sign under the Valentines Sign seriously needs to be updated/repainted. Literally 3mins from the Auckland Temple and less than a minute drive from Manukau Westfield Mall.

The Rayland is a low/middle grade motel. In decent repair but older and worn. Good for a 1-2 night stay. It's in an end of the road cul-de-sac on the back of a strip of small shops/restaurants. Many small and medium sized restaurants in easy walking distance. The room had a kitchenette with hot plate, microwave and refrigerator. Decent sized room and bathroom. A/C was cold. For the price it was decent. Just the pillows were dreadfully soft thin. Thicker, firmer would be appreciated.

Excellent location directly across the road from Rainbows End, and a short walk to Countdown supermarket and Westfield mall. There’s an excellent Valentines restaurant across the car park too. We were able to park up and walk everywhere we needed to go. And it was just a minute’s drive to the motorway on ramp, which was great for me because I don’t like negotiating city roads.

Our family room was huge. There was a couch, table, bed, kitchen and full bathroom downstairs, and another 2 beds and toilet upstairs. It was great for the kids to have their own space and useful having a separate toilet upstairs so no one needed to go down the stairs in the dark at night.

Staff were nice and the traffic noise was ok with the windows shut.

The only complaints I would have is that there wasn’t a hook or rail to hang shower towels from in the two bathrooms, and the tv didn’t work properly (static noises and picture every couple of seconds, whatever the channel).

But I would stay again because of the location and spaciousness.

We stayed as an overnight transition to flights. The room was very limited and cold. The situation near the highway and with windows that did not seem to shut properly meant for a lot of road noise. The shower was very high off the ground and there were no grab bars to assist you stepping into the shower - unsafe. The room lacked ambiance and felt cold and uninviting. Although there were two \"bedrooms\" one was under the stairs and the upstairs room only had access to a toilet (no shower). No privacy for the bed on the main level.

The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was convenient for a transition evening before a flight.

Do not waste your money at this Motel

Rayland Motel is a terrible motel to stay at. The receptionist was not friendly, the room smelt musty, there was a hole in one of the walls, the table was old and held together with blue tac😳, the blankets were old and thin and the worst part was when I got into the bed there were bed bugs😡. We stayed there for 2 hours and I couldn't stand it anymore so we left. The Sebel hotel is right next door and I wish I had booked there instead.
Whoever owns the Rayland Motel really needs to invest some money into this place because it is old and run down and I would not recommend the Rayland Motel to anyone.

This Motel has so much potential to be an amazing top rate place to stay but it needs some effort, time and money put in to upgrade it to bring it to a standard inline with its full potential. The motel is in a prime location with walking distance to the mall, theme park and a great range of dining options. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. You could see the room had been cleaned but it was as if it was with poor quality cleaning agents. The glass table was streaky and the benches looked wiped but not fully clean. The inside of the room looked outdated and run down with bogged up holes in the walls which were unpainted. There was a damp musty smell in the room from lack of ventilation although it smelt like some air freshener had been sprayed. The windows in the shower and kitchen were too small and didnt ventilate the room properly. There was a spider web hanging down from the ceiling over the bed and the shower had a cheap fitting which didnt hold the shower head properly in place. Also the seal on the shower was hanging half off. The main office desks were cluttered with papers and made the whole entrance look scruffy and cheap. It had a backpackers feeling. The sad part is that with a fresh coat of paint in the rooms, an upgrade in the showers, kitchen etc and putting a few simple towel rails and hooks up and with a bit of effort into tidying things up this Motel could be amazing and become a top rated successful business and awesome place to stay.
