Excellent staff I have to say. I’m just a fan of how the place is. I’ve paid $232 for two nites I think it’s pricey for the place.

The long=term people in neighbouring units were noisy at all times of the day and night and showed no consideration for other people. Small children were running around and it was a real hazard when driving in. Check-in was quick, but there was no feeling that it was any more than a business transaction for the managers.

Funny story. I've been going here for quite some time and just assumed I was in the same room. The new owners were very friendly and said everything was ready. I parked and went into the unit changed into comfortable clothes and had a coffee. 20 minutes later my friend turned up and she did the same. We were watching tv and this man boldly opens the door and walks in. He got a fright and commented the motel gave him two women as well? We laughed and I checked my key and it said 5 not 4 and yes you guessed it we were in the wrong unit.I profusely apologised and gave him my key and said to him "I should've gone to specsavers". He laughed and the neighbouring units cracked up as well. Needless to say everything turned out ok.

Where not to stay in Papakura
The unit was unacceptable with food remnants, used cutlery, etc. down the sides of the settee. The shower unit in the bathroom was filthy - black soap scum around the base of the shower doors and on the soap holder!! At 9.30 am tradesmen were banging on the wall of the adjoining unit as they carried out repairs.

The room smelt musky, there was no shelf in the shower. No power point in the bathroom. I think it was over priced.

Run down
Disappointed, as I know the area well. The motel seems to be used for housing, occupant next to my motel sat outside drinking and smoking most of the time I was there. His cigarette smoke drifted into my unit if I left the door open. No good complaining to staff as they didn't appear to speak much if any English. The shower was in poor condition, clean but badly needs refurbishing. Stains on the carpet. Not a bowl in cupboard to use in the microwave, pot in cupboard not particularly clean, I wouldn't consider using it. Wouldn't consider this motel again.

Clean, Quiet and Convenient
I stayed 7 nights and found it to be a very quiet location, even though it's situated on the main road. Rooms are located to the rear of the property. Adequate parking available. Airconditioning/heating would have been nice in room, but there were fans and electric blankets available. Housekeeping was fantastic - lady definitely is an asset to the owners. Room was cleaned daily, with fresh towels everyday, and floors vacuumed. Crockery/cutlery/cooking utensils were in great condition with 2 plate hotplate, microwave, toaster, kettle and a bar fridge. Kitchen was more than adequate. The only negative was that I have stayed in other locations in South Auckland on previous trips for less, and thought the prices were a little high considering the distance from the Airport. All up, it was very clean, quiet and fairly conveniently located not too far from the motorway. Would certainly stay here again and recommend it.
