AAA Mana Motel

Carpark numbers need repainting as it was difficult to find my carpark. Also the guest that came in after 11.30pm couldn't find hers abd woke most of us up yelling to find who had accidently parked in her car park 😳

Unfortunately, I am not able to write a good review about our stay, and I don't mean this personally, but I thought that it would be a service to others if I mentioned a few things which the operators/managers could address which would improve future guests' stays. From the very beginning when trying to make the booking, I experienced challenges, and this continued at check-in time when the prior 'work' to get the right room, had not even been noted on the computer, causing the check-in person to ask questions and assign a room from scratch. I found the accent difficult to understand and the instructions about paying an additional fee were confusing and unnecessary. The place does not accept PayWave, so a physical card or cash are required. The room had few power points and there were multiple items plugged into a single power point, which could not have all worked. Exposed wiring was prevalent. Worst of all was the bed which was lumpy causing me and my partner one of our worst sleeps in memory. The place is showing its age and is desperately in need of a makeover to bring it into the 20th century. The price charged for the room was way above its value, by a factor of 2!

Was good place to stop for early morning check in at the cook straight ferry. Clean and tidy and staff were happy to wait for a late ish check in

Taking heavy bag up and down several external stairs was awkward.

Disgusting and Unsafe – Do Not Stay Here! I have been traveling for 16 years, and this is by far the worst experience I have ever had. I booked this motel in Wellington specifically because I needed a kitchen to cook for my 4-year-old, but the conditions were unacceptable. The Hygiene is Appalling: The couch is the filthiest, stinkiest piece of furniture I’ve ever seen. The carpet is covered in multi-colored stains. Worst of all, when I checked the beds, I found what looked like phlegm/mucus on one of the duvets and deep stains on the others. Lack of Privacy and Maintenance: The bathroom door does not close fully, leaving a gap that makes it impossible to have any privacy. The sliding door handles are broken, and there is no exhaust fan in the bathroom, meaning odors spread throughout the entire unit. Health and Safety Hazards: The motel provides plates with gold-rimmed designs that catch fire in the microwave—an incredibly dangerous oversight. To hide the room's real smell, they use an automatic air freshener that sprays so constantly it feels toxic and hard to breathe. Poor Comfort and Service: The bed was so bad that I am currently taking ibuprofen for the resulting back pain. There is no air conditioning, so you’ll be sweating in a cramped, uncomfortable bed. To top it off, the management is
