The motel met all our requirements very well. It was clean and well supplied with everything we needed. My only complaint was that the wooden parking lot buffers were too high. I drove over it OK, but when we left it snagged the rubber trim under my car and ripped it off!

Had all the amenities necessary and was very roomy. Hallways and stairways needed cleaning. Motel is located next to a very busy street and our room was noisy. The other end of the motel is further away from the street and may be quieter

Our general stay was ok but we noticed that one of the big towel that was included in the pile which was meant to be clean have some red spots over it that appeared to be blood ?. Also, the bathroom tiles are slippery when wet. Make sure to use the mat provided as my son slipped while having a shower.

Spacious clean room, very nice sheets and towels and a lovely comfortable bed. We were delayed until the day after we were supposed to arrive, and even then arrived after the office closed, yet everything was ready for us. Our only suggestion is to have two chairs in the room, and preferably one at the desk as well.

This was ok for a stopover point, the room was pretty clean and as we were arriving late, the checking staff left a key and clear instructions out for us. However the room had a very strong odour of cigarette smoke in it, a few cigarette burn holes in the curtains and even stronger odour in the bathroom. I am guessing a previous guest thought smoking with the fan on would cover their tracks.. it did not. When we checked out and mentioned it to the receptionist she didn’t seem bothered by it or offer any apology which would have been the least that could be done. The bath also had draining issues, after raking a bath and pulling the plug, the floor drain in the bathroom started overflowing and flooded the entire bathroom.

While not the fault of staff or motel, people traipsing up and down the stairs along with noisy shutting of doors for the majority of the night kept us awake and with a 5 o'clock start for us, it was not good.

Sports teams booked in rooms across from me for the last two nights i have doors slamming and drunk people talking outside from around midnight to 1 or 2 in the morning. Dissapointed with response from desk as i asked if i could change rooms fully booked i was told. Why are guests like that able to be so inconsiderate and its not a issue. Definitely won't be recommending this place.

Helpful staff, when we parked in the staff area, we were very politely asked to move. The AirCon remote would not work for us - the reaction of the staff was "leave it with us, and we will sort it", which they did and all interactions were done with a smile and an air of nothing would have been any trouble to make our stay enjoyable.

This property is conveniently situated - right opposite Porirua mall. We booked a studio room for two adults - good size. Clean and tidy but 'tired'. The chairs in the rooms had rips in them which just made first impressions a little like 'oh'. But apart from that I would stay here again.
