"Positives: handy location to airport, modern style rooms with kitchenette, I had a king room (also for wheelchair access) which made it spacious. You receive a swipe card to access the property with its auto gate and auto doors into reception . Side note: You have to pay and pre book a car parking space which is $10 a night. Negatives: Bed comfort low quality and lumpy for some reason. Housekeeping didn’t put any fresh towels in my bathroom so I had to chase them up at night once I realised...

Greenlane Manor Motel

Ellerslie

10/10 Excellent

Got in to Auckland airport at 7pm and didn't fancy the drive back to Northland so stayed here overnight for a fresh start next day. We have been using Greenlane Manor as our preferred "Go-To" accommodation in Auckland for 11 years now. We know that we will always have a beautifully appointed room which is spacious, clean and get a great nights sleep in their wonderful beds. Granted, it's not the cheapest place to stay, BUT, you do get "big fancy hotel chain" style accommodation. Stayed recently...

Ellerslie Palms Motel

10/10 Excellent

What looks to be an older style of motel from the outside , is quite the opposite. The Ellerslie Palms is a great place to stay, rooms are renovated and modern, bathrooms up to date with large showers , excellent water pressures and heat. Beds were pristine and comfortable, whilst the heating in the room was functioning perfectly. Just a super comfortable place to stay. I have stayed at quite a few brand new fancy places recently with all the travel I have been doing , and the Ellerslie leaves...
