Great facilities, rooms are very nice and tidy. Cleaning staff did an amazing job each day and were helpful and friendly. Also, the car park spaces were plentiful and large enough to accommodate my 4 x 4. Will stay here again without question.

We recently stayed at Auto lodge for almost 3 weeks as our son was in Waikato hospital after an accident.. Our rooms were spotless, and nothing was too much trouble, we were even able to have our washing washed and dried for a small fee, which was a relief, not having to find a laundromat. Would definitely recommend.

Unit contained everything I needed for a 2 night stay. Great water pressure. Friendly safe, clean, free parking, cameras for safety in carpark. Not emergency accommodation!! Some road noise so used ear plugs but that's because the motel is easy to find on a main road, close to shops/supermarket etc. I would stay here again.

Our one night stay was in the Queen apartment which had a separate bedroom. The reception staff were very friendly. The beds are comfortable and linen good quality. The double glazing meant traffic noise wasn't an issue. I would definitely stay here again. My only negative is that there are no shower caps and the shower is above and strong, so you gotta get your hair wet.

The shower was unique... was a hose shower but you could not lift the shower head off the wall, had to pull it down through the hole it was sitting in to use it as anything other than a rain shower. It is also high up, I'm not tall so that was a stretch. Very good water pressure.

The workers were very rude and unhelpful. For some reason our payment did not go through even though I received a receipt and a confirmation email. I even got a how is your check in going email. Which meant our room was no longer available for us. He rudely said no when I asked him if there were any other rooms. The other employee was completely unhelpful and just stared. Then when who I assume is the manager came out and was very rude, blunt and uncaring. There was no phone call or email or message from the motel or Expedia stating the payment hadn’t gone through only confirmation. He didn’t say I hope you find somewhere, good luck nothing very rudely said there’s no room here for you. You are wrong and contact Expedia. When looking online at reviews you can also see how many people have been treated badly. Also the bond is $1000!!! Ridiculously high for the motel considering it’s rooms. Will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Very disappointed - got a call to say they were over booked (even though I was able to book and pay) Got told they have booked me to another motel - one with very poor ratings that was half the price I paid for this room. No offer to reimburse me. So I spent the night somewhere I would never have booked myself for twice the price.
