Great facilities, rooms are very nice and tidy. Cleaning staff did an amazing job each day and were helpful and friendly. Also, the car park spaces were plentiful and large enough to accommodate my 4 x 4. Will stay here again without question.

We recently stayed at Auto lodge for almost 3 weeks as our son was in Waikato hospital after an accident.. Our rooms were spotless, and nothing was too much trouble, we were even able to have our washing washed and dried for a small fee, which was a relief, not having to find a laundromat. Would definitely recommend.
