The TV didn’t work, I asked for it to be looked at but nobody followed up. Tenents on the second night were out on the deck partying keep a lot of people awake till 3:00am.
peter
very clean staff happy
John
From arrival the staff were friendly motel is managed by the motel next door so check in is done on nabouring site ( . Our unit ( unit 3) needs major renovations water damage to the bathroom and kitchenete and skirting boards all round , The TV in our room was old and had lines in the screen while watching not a smart TV so no Internet axcess or streaming , beds extremely soft not ideal when you have spinal problems over all 5/10 rating for convenience and location
Jason
fair quality for price (got what I paid for) and was happy with that.
Penny
Great Location. Third time we've stayed there. Staff are brillient and helpful. Place was clean and tidy. Will be staying there again in the new year.
Tiffany
Our room shower was on a lean and water goes all over the floor
Jade
Very run down and sketchy
Carlos
Dirty, bugs in the bed, nothing like the photos.
Aaron
Dilapidated building with a room that smelt like 30 years of cigarette smoke seeping out of the walls and furniture, which made me feel physically ill. It also looked like there were a number of homeless people congregating downstairs. I’ve travelled through India and not seen accomodation so bad. I elected to cut short a trip and drive home instead of staying the night. The place should be condemned.
Jason
Rooms did not look like pictures online, both inside and outside look very run down, not enough carparks. Only good thing I can say is the air con and pressure of shower.
Joel
A terrible motel. Nothing like the pictures. Unsafe: stairs and paths to rooms not fit for purpose. Noisy: backed onto a railway line and windows would not close. Every window was warped by water damage. Oven was old and dirty. Pots were old and dirty. We stayed for only one of what was supposed to be a five night stay. This property should not be allowed to operate as a motel. Wish I could get my money back.
Annicellita
Old needs a good upgrade, bed had stickers and lamps mirrors had stickers looked like people resided in the rooms definitely need a good clean up outside and paint kind of an eye sore
Tatupu
First day I walk in my room, it’s smell mode, the blanket is smell like they didn’t wash it. I didn’t stay on my last night because the room I full of ants , I was very itchy at night and when I woke up in the morning my bed have lots of ants.
Naz
Is good 👍 near the city
Marcus
A good place to stay if you want a budget option that is relatively close the central business district and Newmarket.
Nancy
Convenient location, Interior of unit OK but no plugs in sink or hand basin in bathroom. No tea-towel for drying dishes.
Alasdair
Very run down. Door lock loose and difficult to lock. Kitchen and bathroom windows wouldn't shut. Smoke alarm missing. Interior wall linings flexed and creaked when people walking around upstairs. Needs massive renovations or a bulldozer.. Exterior of building run down, loose cobblestones in driveway very overpriced.
Charity
Price and proximity accommodation
Had a late night event with an early start so needed a place to sleep and freshen up that was close. It wasnt the flashest but did what i needed for the price so im happy.
Things that bugged me is there was no remote for the tv and no shelf in shower.

Property was a little run down, but price was very cheap. A bit of road noise but otherwise was clean, staff were very friendly and bed was comfortable for an overnight stay.

Always a good place to stay, staff are accommodating and kind. Clean rooms.
Dean
I needed accommodation overnight in Auckland, Rayland Epsom was in an excellent safe area, Its an older motel but everything you need is available and serviceable, I had a great stay.
Barbara
I did find it very convenient for where I needed to be for my appointment, but I found the unit to be in need of an update especially in the bathroom where there is an open sink waste and no plug. Also dirt on the floor around the fridge
Gregory
I didn't look any of it. This place is falling apart. The toilet is not screwed to the floor and leaks everywhere. The room has not been cleaned properly for I don't know how long. Not dishwashing towels or equipment for the job.
Bed sheets are worn through with holes in them.
Cheap is not good.

The site is great and should be sold to a developer. The building is a leaker, hence the mould issues.

Unclean, took a photo with snot/bogie on the wall. Photo of heated towel rail in bathroom just hanging by 1 screw to the wall, unsafe. Deck railing looked unsafe, very low, not sure if it would be compliant as well as the dirty, smelly stairwell leading to the top rooms. I ask for some milk for a coffee and was told they only served powdered creamer from a packet. Not worth the price we paid. Overall VER POOR & do not recommend.

. Not the greatest
Rooms are very rundown and need upgrading. My room had broken window fasteners in the bathroom so couldn't close the window. Dirty marks on kitchen walls etc. My friends room was alit worse with a big long hair hanging off the dushwashinb liquid, habd prints on the mirror and batroom and kitchen dud not look like they had been cleaned.

No fresh milk, or toaster, and check in office in another motel next door. Not good value for $120 per night

Never again
Was horrible had to go to another reception at a different motel 4 check in. Room was already paid for but took a $100 bond most just take credit card details.
No carpark. Expected us to park outside a room way down the motel or out by main road.
Smokers in the room next door who cldnt even go outside the room to smoke so thats all we could smell.
My wife had back injry. We were given a room with an access shower the handle on the wall came away when my wife tried to grab it lucky she never fell.
Internet never worked

It was ok for one night , really needs updating , but it was tidy, ok for parking
Dane
Basic accommodation, good location
Place is extremely dated, though everything still works. Owner tries to be friendly but seems much too nosey. Big note at the bottom of stairs reminds everyone to take off shoes, though it doesn't seem carpet has been cleaned in some time. Bathroom window straight to driveway without curtains. You will get a lot of excercise here if you're on the top floor, loads of stairs. Bed is not comfortable.
The good - location is very safe and easy stroll to Remuera shops. Room is a good size, area is quiet.

Rob
Absolutely terrible. I thought being in Epsom it might be at least a little bit comfortable. I was sorely mistaken. It’s cheap for a reason. Indian guy on the desk couldn’t care less, and the people that currently live (Yes, there are people living in some of the rooms) there are not exactly considerate of the others. DO NOT STAY HERE
Lee
Never again it needs to be condemned! wish i had have read reviews before booking. And please, you need to state that there is a bond to be paid upon check in instead of bombarding guests when they arrive! Its a bit rude really.
The MDF vanity & door is clearly their ventilation system as its sucked up all the moisture, swollen, paint no longer there, looks awful & it smells so bad, shower door rotting, paint job half done, terrible bogging job in bathroom, not to mention the rotting skirting boards, lino is that ruined its warpped & not only was plastic plug for the sink rusty but it has what appears to be burn marks in basin!
Only recommendation i can give is that you read reviews & stay elsewhere.

Little gem of a place
The stay was pleasant. Liked the thoughtful ironing board and small appliances provided. Was near restaurants and across from a private boys school. Public transportation directly across the street. Short 12 minutes to arrive downtown at the waterfront. Uber services readily available. Would come back again
Verified traveler
Spent 2 days in and out of my room good place if your looking for a bed for the night rather than a place to spend time.
Phillip
Room for improvement
We chose the hotel because of the location as we had a function to go to after arriving back in Auckland. The gentleman manning the desk should consider doing a course in customer service and personal development, or get a job that he enjoys. Other than that the room was comfortable and clean.

Had a great night
This is my 3rd time to stay in this property most of the time everything is fine staff are friendly rooms are fine yeah I will recommend this motel
Sue
Room was too small to have 3 beds in. The kitchenette was a joke, totally unusable. Everything including microwave was stacked into a tiny corner. Literally ZERO room to do anything in this corner, including making a cuppa. One very small table far away from the corner, if you moved the table to the kitchenette area it would block the way to all the utensils, not to mention block access to the toilet and shower area, which was also tiny. The mattress also needed to be replaced.

Basic room, beds, Microwave, TV, Kettle, Toaster.

Good Motel with Free Parking
Good Premium Bed and large room. Shower room is spacious. On a small note, the washbasin is to close to the w/c making it bit inconvenient to sit.
Overall the room is worth for the price.

Cleaners need to be fired
Room was presented as expected, but the Deodorizing spray was so strong I gagged.. I had to air room out and it still gave me a headache that night from it being so potent. The place has been redone with new lino carpet and shower yet all the skirting boards were horrendously dirty, dusty with a mix of dark curley hairs . The bedside table intitally looked clean, til I moved the phone and clock and discovered them to be sitting in pools of what I believe to be lubricant. So the bedside tables had been wiped, but not moved phone or clock (how hard is it to wipe down a surface properly) . The shower was gross - I took photos before resorting to cleaning myself as I couldn't stand to get into it while in that state.
oh and don't Google the place - scary amount of crimes have occurred at address (definitely made me wonder if that's what new carpet was due to). on listing it says cooked breakfasts available (its acturally part of the criteria I use to pick my accommodation) which turned out to be false.
Only time I would contemplate staying here again is if I ever Intentionally wanted to observe the seedyness of auckland..

In great need of maintenance
This motel was once lovely. Now it's dirty both inside and out. A bowl of cigarette butts at the door says it all. The 'conference' room next to us was piled high with rubbish in full view. The hairdryer chord was dangerous. The gardens are unkempt. Am embarrassment for tourists.

Really nice motel close to everything
Everything was really good no complaints from neighbors I was dwn Stairs so easy excess parkin right outside our door WiFi Excellent

Close to venue
The experience was not memorable at all, New Zealand had a national Cyclone weather warning and we were not able to travel due to the storm and could not make the check in for the first day. I called the motel to advise the situation and were told we would still have to pay for the day, the personal said he would refer the matter to the manager - and nothing can of it! Not very happy

Near CBD
Room facilities were disappointing and the noise from the top floor was unbearable in early mornings. There is no dedicated area for smoking resulting in people smoking outside the room corridor and the smell wafted into the rooms

Convenient location
Convenient location. Good for quick stop over. If you have small children ask for downstairs the verandah railings are far apart which is abit scary and the stairs up are quite steep.
The check in fellow was very good despite the 1am time we arrived.
Rooms are run down electrical points all needed attention. Even the wires for the tv were taped together.

Avoid this one!
Started on the wrong foot with our requested rooms not being available. Then walked into a room in a shocking state. The walls were dirty/marked and had several holes in them. The room and carpet smelled bad. The mattress had a threadbare layer over its springs, making it impossible to lie on. Overall a very unpleasant experience.
Raewyn
Close to the city
Bedding is sparse, a sheet and one light blanket on each bed. We attended a late night event in the city and when we returned there was no parking adjacent to our unit, we ended up parking in an old reception entry nearby. On checking out we raised this and were told to do as we had done, however no signs about parking visible and this could have been explained when checking in. Free parking is advertised with the room and it is normal for this to be adjacent to the room you are staying in.

Cheap - in price and needs an upgrade
Old and tired hotel. Room was musty; no fan in the bathroom and the only window made the motorway noise very loud. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Ants in the bathroom. You get what you pay for!

The staff need customer service training. I just got handed the key and was expected to know where the room was. I had to ask where the room was to finally know. No mention of check out times or where to put the key if you leave before the reception opens. The beds need to be replaced badly, not very comfy at all woke up with sore shoulders. Toilet seat would move when you sat on it. Fridge would leak water out when closed. Was very noisy, people not caring about others and a 2am people are crashing and banging around waking us up which was not very pleasant. Would not recommend this to place people or stay there again
