The rooms are old, but well looked after, but are dating. The room service was average and not full service like many others I have stayed in. The bed was made up bed and a general tidy of the rooms only, dishes left out (washed by myself) were not put away and the used towel was not replaced.
Only met the manager? he was polite but communication was limited. The price of the rooms was in the high end of the market for this type of motel and location.
We used this as a overnight stay on the way north. The room was clean, all the amenities provided, the staff were friendly. One of the beds was very soft but the rest were ok. I would highly recommend.
Welcomed with blueberry muffins, easy access and unit had everything we needed, very comfortable beds. Even though unit backed on to very busy road it was still very quiet.Next time we go to Papakura we will be staying at this motel.
The freshly cooked muffins were the best welcome you could have. Room was spacious, good kitchen and amenities, hot (if a little feeble) shower, and lots of shops a 15-20 minute walk away. The host was excellent and very helpful. They supply cooked breakfasts for 6 mornings (not Sundays). Downsides?? It is in the middle of a residential area so you get what residents do - barking dogs (and because it was early November- fireworks!) But there is ample parking off-road and I am happy to stay there again.
if you want to sleep in or use this hotel as a place for a breakaway then don't bother. i say this as even if you put the do not disturbe sign on the door they will proceed to call every morning and wake you to ask "when can we clean room" im pretty sure do not disturb means exactly that (I'm asleep! but thanks for waking me) or even if you are spending the day inside the hotel i would get a call asking "when are you going out today"....i can do what i like i paid for this room and i dont want to be questoned about my day, if i did i would stay at my mums. Thanks
