Not from Auckland. This was a decision made at the last minute. Since traffic is very bad in akl we had to travel a day & spent a night. For a cheap room, it is what is expected. I booked this motel because it was a 10 mins drive to my 0800 appointment this morning. We had a good sleep. Very busy area.
