Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Convenient for a nights sleep when heading south from Auckland if arriving in the evening. Relatively close to Auckland airport. Wifi is available in certain areas but not all rooms. Unfortunately not in our room but in a common room so it worked fine.

Not Worth the Price
Don't believe the infos about the Wifi. The hotel has no wifi connection for its clients. They tell you to come to the lobby and try to catch free wifi connections from the Public Library or the Main Street; that didn't work for me.

Most enjoyable. Room had all we required. We were at Hampton Downs each day and it was convenient for us to travel the short distance

Good basic motel, large bedroom and large bathroom. WiFi only by reception, rooms hard wired network but you need to take network cable - though this was not a problem for us. Secure parking. Huntly is a bit down on its luck, but the chip shop and Chinese were very good.

A no-frills but okay hotel
This is a no-frills hotel but comfortable, quiet and clean, with a restaurant attached. There is a problem with wifi though which is only available in lobby and one or two other areas but not in rooms. It's in a very workaday town with little to see but there are plenty of food outlets nearby.

Comfortable.
A surprisingly comfortable and spacious room. It was very clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood, or passing by. There's really nothing to do in Huntly, but there's plenty to do outside the town, so it would be worth staying here.
