What I didn’t like was that the shower had not been cleaned properly and there was grease on shower door bathroom corners were dusty but the beds were comfortable
property very dated
weird arrangement with reception, they arrived from a third property, after we went to reception at a second (across the road)
3 out of the seven lights actually work.
it was ok - for the price i was probably expecting too much - it was cheap.
Was absolutely disgusting, I felt sick and so unsafe. Looked like someone was living there and they left so we could stay the night. Bathroom was gross. There was a drug smoking party in next room and our door looked like it had been kicked in at some point.

Was good other then mattresses on beds need replacing and had no oven in one room for cooking other room had no kitchen sink or oven hops for cooking just had jug and toaster
Frige in one room froze everything
Awful accommodation (tatty, dirty, noisy heater, very noisy plumbing, gaps around door letting neighbours smoke and cold air in, poorly maintained furniture and carpet). Mostly seems occupied by long term social housing resident and there is no manager on site. It is cheap (of course) and in a very useful location, but why don't they make an effort???
After get the key for a bad smelling room, I had a closer look. Shower full of hairs (looks like last cleaning was done month ago). There was no bin, everything looks old and a dirty. Bedaheets dirty as well. The door can not be locked. Every Camping ground ist better than this and even cheaper! I'm not picky at all but this place is a No-Go!
So we were in number 5 and omg the stains on the bed was disgusting... fresh paint ? Not so good for my daughter... tape still around the bathroom taps from the paint ? Nothing to wash our dishes with.. just wasnt as good as i have stayed at this hotel before and wasnt excepting the putcome of the room to be so bad... maybe check the rooms before givinf out the keys
The picture at the top of this survey is not the correct motel. There is no reception, the motel across the street is used. No-one was there, and it took 25 minutes to get the key. The room was very cold, as there was a huge gap between the door and the walls. The fridge froze our food solid. The stove controls did not work. There was no electric kettle/jug to boil water.
No reception facilities. Had to ring to get internet password. Shower was filthy. Toilet leaked onto bathroom floor. Room stunk of stale smoke. Cigarette butts were strewn across the room's doorway entrance way and we were 'visited' around 9.30pm by what we believe was a 'permanent guest' at the place, seeking to purchase cigarettes from us...We dont recommend this motel at all and certainly will not be staying there ever again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hard to sleep, average parking
Toilet dribbled all night keeping me awake. Ceiling made a lot of noise from people walking around upstairs. Very few car parks and they were very tightly bunched together. The fee was a little cheaper than others on the market but the condition of the unit was well below what I expected.

Nice little motel if you have a car, just a bit far to walk to the shops/restaurants at night.
If I had business in the Hutt I'd stay here again.

Close to everything. Clean.
Overall good. Better heating would be good and a information folder in the room would be helpful.
We arrived 8 am in the morning the staff was kind enough to let us check in right away and have a good sleep that was a bonus. The blanket in the room was too thin and they don't have a thicker one so we have to turn the heater up high and the air becomes too dry. The phone in the room didn't work on the first day so we have missed out on friend's call. Overall at $115 a night there are better values elsewhere.
Facilities: Everything necessary; Value: Great deal; Service: Go the extra mile, Phenomenal; Cleanliness: Immaculate;
Really loved staying here. Such an amazing place.
