The accommodation was fair, decore tired, everything worked, lots of parking, staff were excellent, food in the restaurant was good and considering the fees, which were cheap, all in all not a bad stay.
Really close to the airport and good value for money. I was only there for 5 hours between flights and it was a good place to get a sleep. Clean rooms and comfy beds
Excellent staff, location and amenities. The front desk staff was kind and helpful. he restaurant on site was good and the location is perfect fro a layover before connecting flights
There was a heavy mould smell in the rooms bedding sheets were clean pillow cases etc.
Shower handle broken probs will not stay or recommend this place to anyone
Car parking was actually good, staff are helpful and clean room but actually the heater is not working and there's a broken chair in our room

We saw the other reviews and saw that the rooms are not really clean. However, it was better than we expected.
The curtains had a few spots, but we didn't care as we didn't touch them. The bed sheets and pillows were clean and the towel too.
The room was very cold when we entered, but there was a heater that worked.
The shower was okay, but there was only one towel for the two of us... That was a little uncomfortable and the bathroom floor was really cold (maybe a extra towel or mat).

Although an older hotel that needs a bit of love and attention, it was excellent value for an overnight before flying out of Auckland airport. The shuttle to the airport was regular (15-20 minutes apart) and reliable - plus good instructions were given in advance on how to catch the bus from the airport to the hotel.
Although this is not luxury, for the price was amazing. Everything was clean and properly managed. My stay was perfect.

The staff are always helpful.
We are only ever staying one night around flights from the airport.
The property is quite old, but it's a good budget option for overnighting before or after a flight.
I've already booked our next stay for a flight in May.

The beds were very clean and comfortable but the entire property is a bit old and run down. However there is a 24 hour shuttle and the price was right. It felt safe too. It was perfect for one night before flying out in the morning.
Room was fine. Reception staff were friendly. Location is perfect for those wanting to be near the airport. Had to check in and check out at Gateway next door. The restaurant wasn’t great.

Great service. Good for a night or two. Comfortable bed and good water pressure and lots of hot water
We stayed in room 88. The bed was horrible I could feel the springs coming through the mattress the floor was so moulded it was sinking in places and the door frames were rotten and falling apart you could smell the mildew in the hall ways and room. The sliding door to the patio was so hard to open due to it being so old and the patio was rotting away and covered in spiders. If I wasn't so exhausted from travel and it being 9pm with a 4 am flight I would not have stayed.
I definitely do not recommend.
Only gave 2 stars because the staff at the desk were so friendly and the convenience of the airport shuttle.
Worst hotel i have been to, would not go there again. Walls are super thin you can hesr what happens in other rooms. Very old and run down. Staff are good. Shuttle service is good.
Pillows smelled of mold and mildew. Shower is just luke warm sad does not get hot
Airport shuttle an easy way to get to the hotel,was a surprise first time shuttle user,hotel room and area was average to poor on my liking,on arrival at the hotel staff need a bit of welcoming and warmth attitude.
