- Felicito (10/5): Great motel! I always stay here when I visit the Wellington area. - The front desk person gave a friendly greeting, which was nice. I had made an early check-in time and asked for a room near the entrance by their parking lot and those requests were cheerfully granted. The room was very clean and inviting, very homey. The room was quiet and I heard very little to no noise from outside or other rooms. There were well-placed electrical outlets for charging and using my phone and laptop. There is a guest laundry that was just perfect for my needs. The motel is just two blocks away from the main street in Petone, with its restaurants and shops. But not too close to the main street that street noise and traffic would be heard. It was very quiet in my room. During the day, I noticed a staff member was outside trimming the greenery, keeping the parking lot clean and tidy. I always stay here when I visit Wellington and I wish all motels in Aotearoa New Zealand were as clean, quiet, and updated as Ava Lodge! The only thing I didn't like was that I could not stay longer!

I didn't know how to use the capsule coffee machine and it took me a while to work out how to use it. Also wasn't sure what the different colours of capsules meant.
