"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...

"Good place for a brief stay in Auckland. We travelled for an event and needed somewhere with parking at a reasonable price. This place, while fairly basic, ticked off everything we needed."

The property had everything you could want and more. They had complimentary snacks that were very nice and very thoughtful.
It is so nice to go into a very clean motel that has everything in it. I am so glad I have found this property. Good value too boot. We will be back and have already told at least a dozen people how great this place is.
Handy to everything for us and very well secured and easy to get into.

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...

Very spacious and clean with lots of room for parking. The shower pressure was excellent and loved the electric blankets on the beds. The only down-side for us was the stove elements weren't heating up properly and the tv was a bit too high tech for us to figure out. But great place otherwise!

My sister and I stayed one night before an international flight and highly recommend this motel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room had all we needed, beds very comfy. Walking distance to restaurants and shops and very close to airport. Free storage for cars while away must be a bonus.

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...
