The property is a bit dated but the hosts more than make up for that. Had an issue with being given a studio unit rather than the one bedroom unit that was booked on this site but the hosts moved us to a bigger unit as soon as they could. Easy off street parking and convenient to the city centre.

Booking Cancelled
Unfortunately there was an issue with my room which meant my booking was cancelled but the team made good by booking me in to another motel which was a budget accommodation but apparently it was more expensive than my original booking at the Aotea Motel.

Ok for short term stay
Comfort was ok but bed too hard for my liking. The rooms need updating with efficient heat pumps and appliances such as hairdryers. Also small maintenance jobs needing to be done, eg windows sealing to prevent cold coming in.

The rooms were very clean and the bedding was spotless. But my daughter had to swap beds because the first one was so uncomfortable. We couldn't sit on the sofa as it was very worn and felt like you were falling through it. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent. The motel in general felt bit tired, and the fittings were very dated. It was fine for a weekend where we didn't need to stay in all of the time, and convenient for getting into the cbd and to the competition we were attending.

The room was very clean but very small. Ideal for a 1 night stay, but we were travelling around New Zealand and had a lot of luggage which had to be kept in the car. Lovely lady on reception. Would recommend paying a little extra for a bigger room.
