Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
When i arrived i found the expedia website had changed my search criteria from 3 adults to 2 adults. I showed the staff member my search criteria from my phone which was in my history. I therefore had to pay an additional 40.00. I selected the motel because of the reviews and the price. I probably wouldnt have selected that motel as i could have got cheaper one.

Friendly check in lady. They had the heater on for us, as it was cold. Motel room average. Very noisy as position was on the main road.
Basic but very clean and tidy accomodation. Good service when checking in and free on site car parking is great. Just a walk over the road to the beach, and a walk down the street to great restaurants, cafes and shops.
I was travelling on my own and felt very safe here. The lady at reception was lovely and it was so good to see a friendly smile after the very long day I had gone through. I slept well for the two nights I was there. Will stay again.
The property is extremely run down , it is in desperate need of a complete renovation, very noisy , rooms hot and stuffy I would definitely not go back or recommend for the price they charged

Fair accommodation for one night .. quick drive to ferry terminal..
Property is substanndard and should not be listed on your website. Poorly managed, we were wokenby herphone call asking when we arriving!! Next night, noisy party from 10.30pm to 1.30am. Ihad to try and shut it down. Never going there again.
Very clean and great location. Vanity and bedside tables have veneer peeling, bathroom mirror shabby on edges, bathroom floor needs repainting or replacing. Compared to other motels in Petone i think its a little overpriced for its condition.

Close proximity to the foreshore, and Jackson St for browsing multiple second hand stores for books and plenty of dining options.
It is somewhat dated but clean and the bed was comfortable except for the hard plastic circle from the electric blanket that tended to gravitate into the right side of the bed.
There was only 1 bedside lamp - none on the right hand side on which I sleep and like to read from before sleep. In the kitchenette there was only 1 teaspoon and the dessert spoons were more the size of serving spoons.
Overall quite adequate for our 2 night stay
