Very misleading accommodation advertising
When booking this for two work colleagues, it stated it was 4 star accommodation and it looked clean, tidy and modern. The reality was very different!!!

This place is for emergency & long term housing obviously- not for visitors to Auckland. Very noisy people yelling in the corridor and hanging around outside. Dirty bathroom. Didn’t feel secure sleeping at night. Staff weren’t always available in office. Good walk to Westfield. Didn’t enjoy our stay won’t be coming back here.

Property met our basic needs, place to sleep and shower etc. however it appears that the place is also being used for emergency housing, so some people around who were a bit worrying. Parking was quite tight.

Tired & Expensive
More like a 2-3 star hotel, looking very tired. Paid $250 for a night, should have been less than half. Only consider when there is nowhere else to stay

The only good thing about this property is its proximity to eden oark and shopping mall.. i was angry i wasnt told motel is being used for social housing. Continual smell of cigarette smoke i will never go back. Tell people about social housing when they book. Very dishonest..

It is not a flash place but has all I need and is clean. Unfortunately during my last stay there were some noisy and inconsiderate people staying in the room next door who kept waking me up.

This accomodation is also emergency housing as a warning. Our hot water kept running out mid shower. There was lots of junk lying around the units outside. The unit inside was ssatisfactory

Great value and excellent for slightly larger families. We have 3 young children so it can be difficult to find accommodation suitable for our size. Easy and fast check in, all the facilities were great as it looked like it had a new refurb and great location for us. Stairs to the upstairs room were really creaky but otherwise everything else was good.

The property is fine for basic stays. It’s clean and the location good if you need to be around the Epsom area. Nothing fancy.

We stayed here in a family unit which worked well for us. It also had two bathrooms which was a bonus so we didn't need to share with the kids. Shower had good pressure and there was a bath tub not that we used it. The wifi was good and the only negative would be the pidgins that seemed to live on the roof of the until and windows. Not that this was a motel owners fault, the birds just made a lot of noise early in the morning. Happy to recommend to others. Also the location was pretty central to everything we needed to do.

Easy location, no fuss experience at check in. Rooms had no aircon so got a bit stuffy. We were on ground floor and could hear everything above us.

Room was spotlessly clean and bed comfortable. Decor was pleasing. Very quiet area and no traffic noise at all. Just a few things such as marks on the tiles and stained basin in the bathroom detracted from a excellent review. Parking was a bit tight with a bigger sized vehicle. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Price was reasonable. All in all a great stay.

This is possibly the cleanest place I've ever stayed. There were a few stains here and there and chips on the furniture which may have put people off, but everything is literally so clean so don't panic. The staff is lovely also, they let me check in half an hour earlier which is great.

As a place to spend a night or two away it was great. Wifi was slow and at times unusable, which meant I was using my own data but that wasn't too much of a problem.

It was a great property, in an excellent location, with outstanding service. Overall I was really really pleased with it and would stay again. However, neither of the showers was great, and it would have been perfect if this hadn't been the case.
