Marksman Motor Inn

Place had parking and was within walking distance of central shopping food area

Property is showing it's age but was clean and convenient. Parking is limited so you have to check in early if you want a spot.

Value for money courtesy of staff person parked behind d me left note to contact if needed to get car out. what we had expected from our booking. Comfy beds cosy with heater when needed. Really like parking this was great to have so close to central city at no extra cost. Had to run shower a long time to get hot water. Concerned this was a waste of water.

Insufficient parking for visitors to Wellington makes it very difficult and unsafe for non locals. Having a more formal arrangement for overflow vehicles would be useful. On the positive; despite being near highway 1 there was little road noise in the room.

Car parking is a big issue, they have limited parking on the basis first come, no lifts. I will mot recommend the property unless if it’s cost is 100-110$ max, I Ĥāď pay $400 for 2 nights what a waste of money. Better to get something in the city. The only good part was staff was very polite.

good service and easy parking

Older room but well priced. Better parking and central.

The property is small but centrally located in Wellington. Staff is great. However, parking is tight and can be difficult. Also, be aware there is no elevator. You'll be carrying all your luggage up the stairs (not that unusual in NZ), but also not a lot of fun. Laundry was a bit on the expensive side ($10 NZ to wash and dry - the most expensive place we experienced on either island).

Basic facilities, tidy, everything works, polite staff. Location and free parking are a huge plus.

Nothing fancy but very well cared for with very hospitable owners. Parking only just coped unless you go out at night. Easy drive into city and waterfront Also easy access to Mirimar.

I liked how it was clean and was comfy

Fint værelse med pænt køkken. Gode senge og nydelig rent. Kun 10 minutters gang til Cuba Street og downtown. Eneste mindre ulempe er en noget trafikeret vej foran motellet

Room was clean, well equiped and a great size. Staff were courteous and polite. Location gave great access into town and beyond. We were a bit worried about road noise but after 9 it was v quiet. Definitely the best value hotel in Wellington!!

Comfortable and clean. Great location. Able to park on site.

Love the location. Very convenient for visiting the hospital. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the bathroom is in need of a new fit out. But we did have everything we needed.

Clean professional rooms. Quiet

Great space for a family. Clean, nice rooms, very helpful staff

very nice and clean property and walkable to shopping places.

Good Location, parking and facilities. Great clean space for your money. Friendly helpful staff.

This place is excellent, we only had the basic studio with private bathroom, it was clean well equipped, iron ironing board, kettle, toaster microwave, spare bed, the large queen bed super comfortable, crisp sheets very good night sleep, great TV and access to all sky, lots of lovely clean towels and very good shower. Fully recommend

My stay was adequate but found it to be quite noisy with thin walls so could hear guests in the bathroom above me. The receptionist was not overly friendly so first impression wasn’t a positive one. The motel room itself was comfortable but was surprised there was no milk offered for the first couple of hot drinks which is usual practice in accommodation.

Nice clean and warm rooms, excellent view of basin reserve, quiet despite busy road outside.

Nice and clean... rooms are small.its ok for a short stay.

Great space for a family. Clean, nice rooms, very helpful staff

lots of room but the traffic was to noise.

The room was smaller than I thought but was cosy and good

Well located, well equipped, quiet and warm.

Not welcoming, very very cold day and heater (not heat pump) not turned on in unit in preparation for guest. Bathroom very outdated and in extremely poor repair.

Terrible experience. Both Marksman and Expedia are accountable. We only stayed two nights, but was charged for 4 nights. I had communicated with Expedia a few hours after checking in, to advise that we were not happy, and it was not up to our expectations. After a back and fourth with Marksman, Expedia said that Marksman will charge us for the first two nights as it’s their policy. So we stayed the two nights that couldn’t be refunded. On the third day, at approx 6am, we checked out and left key in the box and later that day checked into new accommodation. Fast forward one week. I notice we haven’t received any refund for the remaining 3 nights and the app still says I stayed there for 5 nights. I called both Expedia and Marksman, to sort things myself, both were not helpful at all and hid behind their “policies”, instead of doing the right thing. Result: Expedia washed their hands and said you need to deal with Marksman direct, and Marksman said with out a “variation” sent to them by Expedia we can only refund one night. They also said “we were not aware you were checking out”, so for one whole day they had no idea. What a joke! Like I said, Marksman is trash, I will never stay there ever again. Hard to deal with, and no willingness to accept accountability and pay for the nights that were actually stayed. Customer service was trash. Expedia, also trash! Agents were clearly able to see the conversations that took place previously, and still didn’t act. Trash!

Staff help us in the middel of the night on arrival to settle in!

This motel with everything that it said it was the staff were amazing was not able to meet my booking one night and they were able to transfer it to another night extremely accommodating for me the room was beautiful clean at everything you need for a one night stay nice hot shower comfy bed TV to watch againsome cricket cup of coffee highly stay here

Manager threatened us with violence!! Worst experience of my life!!!!!! The stay in the room was 2/5. The walls were paper thin, like the neighbours were in your space 24/7. The best thing- and only reason it got a 2, was the cleaner, who did an outstanding job. Due to having to leave one night earlier than the 7 nights booked (due to an emergency), I asked if we could get a refund. He replied that we need to give 24 hours notice. I completely understood and asked where from here. He stated he could try and onsell the room or provide a credit. I was happy with either. To be clear, we had paid nearly $1800 upfront at the beginning of the week. So he had all of our money. I always book through Expedia for credit and on my return home, I emailed him on three different occasions inquiring about my Expedia points. He finally replied and told me he had cancelled my Expedia credits, despite me paying IN FULL when we arrived. I rang him to discuss this issue and he did not allow me to speak, but started the conversation by screaming repeatedly “You f&@$en B@&$@h!! You f$&@en liar!!” down the phone at me. He wouldn’t even let me speak and ask about the Expedia credits. After 2 minutes of constant profanity and abuse, I hung up in tears. When my husband rang him back, he called me horrific names (“Your wife is a prostitute”) , made references to my husband’s anatomy and threatened us with “I know where you live!!” And “I’ll come and burn your house down with your family inside!!”,

Staff were fantastic helping me with my late arrival. Went above & beyond to ensure had all the details to access my room.

Excellent service, couldn’t have been more helpful for any requests. Went the extra mile for their guests 😊 Definitely recommend.

My partner has mobility difficulties which means we asked for a ground level room. What a beautiful surprise when they gladly move some things around to accommodate us. Thank you Marksman Motel for going over and beyond expectation.

The Marksman is a great place to stay if you are catching the Ferry the next day. Free parking on site and only a 10 to 15 minute drive to the ferry. It is on a busy road during rush hour but it settles down at night. I had a standard studio, which has a fridge, microwave and sets of crockery/cutlery for two. You need to fill the kettle from the bathroom sink but I had no problem filling it from there. Bathroom was clean and tidy. Tiled shower had plenty of pressure.

We enjoyed our stay. Well equipped room within moderate walking distance of cbd. Perhaps inevitability for central city, there was some noise from neighbours

It’s really walking distance to city shops.

Comfortable and clean. Great location. Able to park on site.

Close to the city, bus stop just around corner in Adelaide st.

Great spot. Close enough to the CBD for a walk & on the edge for a wander

Nothing fancy but very well cared for with very hospitable owners. Parking only just coped unless you go out at night. Easy drive into city and waterfront Also easy access to Mirimar.
