The motel is very close to Manukau Centre and lots of eateries etc. It waa also a cheapish price $120 for the night but room condition was old and tired. Lots of minor things being fixed would help, maintenance touch ups here and there, door handles fixed, tv not working fully. Worse for me, it had to be the most uncomfortable bed ever, hard with a big dip in middle. It was clean though. Service on arrival not great. Had to go back and ask where room was. No info provided at all. Didnt seem friendly. Its a big place with lots of stairs if on top level. Lady next morning was really nice. Wouldnt stay again. Need a little comfort.

As with previous reviews, I found the very helpful staff saved this place. No disabled access to rooms and steps were a worry with metal support at foot level coming apart. Wi-fi was absolutely non-existent in my room and a struggle to access even in the reception area. The rooms themselves are actually very good. So if you have full mobility and your own means of accessing Wi-Fi you will probably like this place. Excellent location for Manukau Bus Station for Inter-City Travel.

reading reviews on trip advisor after booking our stay we arrived at the Rayland a little worried about how it was going to be for our stay.
We needn't have worried, the room we booked was perfect for our rather large family (2 adults & 4 kids)
Had 3 TV's (all with sky) & 3 heat pumps in the room so no problem keeping the kids entertained at night.
Room was nice & clean & having 2 bathrooms was a godsend for us.
Yes the motel is between 2 motorways & is a little noisey outside but with the windows closed we had no trouble getting to sleep at night (we live in the country)
Yes the motel is in a less than desirable area right next to a Valentine's restaurant but there was heaps of parking for all on site & as the saying goes, dont leave valuables in your car.
Beds are comfortable & sheets were nice & fresh smelling.
Check in was easy & fast & the staff are VERY polite & welcoming.
We look forward to staying at the Rayland again when we are in Auckland.
