The location on a busy road made for a noisy poor night's sleep, the lights from the street made it through the curtains also contributing to poor sleep. Clearly not much use of the motel - room was musty. It was clean however and good parking. Like many Wellington motels was pretty tired in terms of decor, check in and out was annoying - no one on site, had to another motel - and call to get a number for the lock box to get my key. There seemed to be a lot of random people/cars at the motel not associated with people staying there which made me feel (single woman) not particularly safe. Maybe it's being used for emergency accommodation as well? It was hard to tell.

The service when I went to check in, although I was early, the reception was locked, this was at 1 p.m., and when the door was opened, the cooking smell was unbearable. The person was talking on the phone all the time while serving me. The room itself was clean enough, and the sheets, towels etc were laundered, but there were attempted repairs done to the unit, and not finished, the furniture was damaged, mirror in the bathroom someone had engraved an X from corner to corner. Mould growing on the ceiling in the bathroom. The main bed had no spring support, so it felt like you were sleeping in a hole.

When checking in no reception on the property no notice or anything. Rang their phone number and was told they didn't have reception on property that we had to check in at their other motel down the road. When we went into room it was smelly and dirty toilet broken and no sky tv as advertise. Rang back again and complained. Lucky we we upgraded to the other motel and that was a lot better. Settlers is not what they advertised and would not recommend we will definitely not return. Is nothing like advertised.

Unfortunately, other than the exterior, the rest was really REALLY unpleasant! The cleanliness of the unit was appalling. The floors had not been mopped for quite sometime, the grime on skirtings stood out like a sore thumb, carpets were badly stained and dirty, surfaces hadn't been wiped for who knows how long, and there was a really strong damp/mould smell in the unit. The furnishings were really worn and stained and really dated, the bed was incredibly hard and uncomfortable and, I woke up with some kind of bites all over me (either fleas or mites)!! In addition, the room was really cold and there was 1 very small heater to heat the unit AND, only the coverlet on the bed and no additional blankets in the unit to keep you warm especially in winter while it is raining! On top of all this, I struggled to find the motel as there wasn't a sign for it on the road and when I did arrive, there was no one at reception (despite being within office hours). I phoned the motel and was told to go to another motel further down the road as they run all 3 on this road. Had I arrived via taxi, I would have needed to cart all my luggage 50 metres in the pouring rain with a foot injury just to check-in. Lucky for me, I had a vehicle so just drove up the road to them and back again. However, this is inconvenient and there is no instructions prior to booking making you aware of this.

Room smelt like it had just been painted and shut up. Stunk the entire time. No info given for free wifi and despite the sign saying 50 channels for sky - no sky. Couldn’t see the sign for settlers hotel. Had to check in at Du Point. Bed felt like it had a hole in the middle. Definitely not a 4 star hotel. More like 2 star if that.

We arrived after dark to find no signage indicating where it was not even a street number on the gate. We had to go to a different address to find the key and then had to find the unit. The unit was inadequately supplied with bedding and had no heating, soap, etc. After managing to contact staff they supplied one blanket and a heater. The unit was originally very nice but run down badly.

The place looked abandoned,, the office was locked so rang the number on the door,, lady said we had to go down the street to the other motel to check in,,, no sign or anything to tell you to go down the road,, not just a simple drive down the road as it's a very busy road. Man behind the counter was hard to understand and couldn't find our booking, Room was tidy but was advertised as having a hiar dryer but didn't,, had no dish cloth,no tee towel to dry the dishes that we used,, Apart from little complaints it served the purpose we needed it for

Settlers is the worst accommodation we have ever experienced. No staff at office on arrival, The unit had a disgusting smell, There's NO sky like advertised, The bed very old and uncomfortable, They sent us wifi code next morning hour before checkout, Tenants that live there were up till 5.30am making noise in rooms 13 and 14, Man living in unit 13 was screaming and abusing us swinging metal bar at us and said if we don't like it stay somewhere else, when i phoned reception to come to talk to him they didn't care even though they could hear him on the phone yelling. We had a excellent stay at Top10 and felt safe. Petone was a neat place to visit. Settlers is not a safe place to stay.

We couldn’t stay here as this place was nothing like the photos. We had to leave and find somewhere else. It was disgusting. The bed cover was stained the carpet was ripped and stained. The kitchen and bathroom were very dirty. The holes in the wall were roughly plastered. There was no heater or tv controls. This would be a terrible experience for overseas visitors to experience. How can this place be listed on Expedia!
