What a dump! Mould growing on window sills, severely stained carpet, patched walls, no smoke detector in one bedroom, moisture stains everywhere, shower door fell off while trying to close it, bathroom sink plug didn't release, trip hazards everywhere! Save your money and sleep in your car!
Stayed 3 nights in family room - 27 we all received multiple bug bites. There was an offer to bug bomb the room and gave us sleep in there that night still but this was not accepted as this could be unsafe for the children.
We were moved to two seperate rooms but the damage was done. The reason being they have lots of people coming from the airport is ridiculous.
We were then provided with expired milk.
There were no batteries in half the remotes for things, not enough teatowels or cutlery and no wifi was available unless you paid for it.
The only thing that was good about this hotel was the location - right next to Rainbows End and the mall.
Don’t stay here.
Stayed one night as I had an event to go to near by.
IN REGARDS TO LOCATION/NEAR BY AMENITIES, less than 10 minute walk to Vodafone Events Centre. 5 minute walk to Countdown supermarket and adjacent mall. Rainbows End right across the road. Manukau Station (bus and train) about 10 minutes walk. However sandwiched right between motorways and main roads, so IN REGARDS TO NOISE, well it was pretty noisy. I must have woken up 3 or 4 times during the night. IN REGARDS TO EATING, this motel shares a carpark with Valentines buffet restaurant, and Dennys 24 hr + KFC are less than 3 minutes walk. IN REGARDS TO THE ROOM, it was dated by perfectly adequate. Bed was comfortable. The rooms do need a renovation but if you are only staying one or two nights it shouldn't be an issue. Would I stay here again? Yes, but for only a couple of nights if I had something I had to do in Manukau.
We are a family of 4 and stayed here for one night during a weekend trip to Auckland.
We enjoyed our stay - bedding was crisp and clean and rooms were warm. And the location is handy too - right by rainbows end and close to manukau McDonald's 😜
We have stayed here only one night after flying in and were surprised that the motel was quite decent, we expected less. It is located kind of in the middle of nowhere however the rooms are large and clean. We stayed at a family room which had 2 floors with a full bathroom on the first floor and another sink+toilet bathroom on the second floor. It also had a kitchenette, a coffee machine, a fridge so one could cook if needed. There is no restaurant though so you have to eat at Denny's right across the road or drive further. So fine for a basic short stay, no frills.
