Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not for us!! - Hotel lacking in a number of areas. Advised that property maybe being used as emergency accommodation to help house homeless in area; a disclosure of this prior to booking may have assisted with decision to book hotel in first place. Owners not helpful and alternative accommodation booked last minute.
- E (8/5): Nice Motel with lovely staff - Booking was for one night requiring an early check in. Owner/manager offered to drop us off to our wedding as well as let us into the room early even though staff were still cleaning. Really appreciated staff friendliness. Room was so clean and spotless. Stay was lovely - and close to local shops. Highly recommend staying here.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Waste of time - Room stank of smoke, had to clean everyday. Bed bugs. Will never stay there again. Husband was unhelpful and stressed.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Average - Average. ..photos are deceiving sometimes
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Handy location - old property which needs refurbishing
- Verified traveler (6/5): Zweckmäßiges Motel f. Kurzaufenthalt in zentraler - Nur ein Kurzaufenthalt- Motel war o.k. für den Zweck
- Verified traveler (4/5): Wouldn't have stayed here if we had another option - Dirty room showing ongoing lack of cleanliness. We slept with the towels over the pillowcases just in case. Flies everywhere. Lots of road noise from Great South Road. Good location just off motorway and near Papakura heart, but would never recommend this to anyone but the desperate (as we were).
- retired (6/5): Convenient for the Northern Explorer train. - Would stay again. Writing more so I can post this what a PITA.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and comfortable and affordable. Walking distance to restaurants
- Daniel (10/5): - Clean and tidy, welcoming staff. Only downside was the limited parking.
- Karen (8/5): Nice hotel in a lovely community - The hotel is in walking distance of several parks, the centre of town with many locally owned shops. As all town feel in a larger centre. We extended our stay. Highly recommend this motel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good for short stay. - Location was ok. Motel was noisy and people coming and going, someone knocked on door for a lite for cigarette, suppose to be non smoking. Internet was not reliable. Not a family place. Clean but dated. Hot water heater needs turning down,water almost scalding.
People who operate place were nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very handy for us - A lovely experience, would recommend. A lovely experience, would recommend. A lovely experience, would recommend.
- Jolene (8/5): Convenient, welcome smile and clean - Great welcoming staff. Parking tight but circular drive excellent for access and exit.
- Mature Couple (8/5): Convenient, affordable motel - Clean, comfortable, modest motel convenient to Papakura and motorway.
- Graeme (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay as the room was comfortable and had all that we required
- Nona (8/5): Overnight stay - Needed an overnight stay after a long flight, and booked this motel for it's convenient location i.e. we needed to head south of Auckland but didn't want to drive too far for the first night after a very early start and a long flight. Motel was clean and comfortable. Room was a little small but adequate for just an overnighter. Also, within 5 mintues walk of a supermarket so handy for getting something for dinner that night. We drove to Matamata and Hobbiton after check out and because this motel is south of Auckland, we had a smooth run continuing south without the hassle of having to battle Auckland traffic to get there. That in itself was worth the price!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice quiet unit. Uncomfortable leaning against back wall to watch tv as outside wall and not insulated.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly and helpful owner
- Verified traveler (6/5): - moisture leaking into cupboard under sink causing a musty smell. Sealant between bench and wall requires fixing correctly with primer and sealant to ensure seal is well bonded.
- justin (8/5): Nice motel - Clean motel with kitchenette and nearby restaurants and grocery stores
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bed too soft
- Only stayed one night. Staff friendly and helpful re local eateries. We found the bathroom like a dog box and as there were just the two of us we coped. Cooking smells from next unit was annoying.
Room was very clean.
- Harleigh (10/5): Lovely and great service. - The owners really went out of their way to take care of us. Did some washing for us dried it and delivered it to our room. This was at night time when the office was actually closed.
Our room was made up each morning which we hadn't expected .
Highly recommended
- H (4/5): - Very bad smell came out from the air conditioner in the room when we tried to use it.
- Susan (6/5): Overnight stay - We used this motel just for an overnight stay as it was close to the highway on our way to Taupo. There was nothing special about it but it was clean and tidy and it had air condutioning and free wifi.
- Johnno (6/5): Well located,clean and comfortable - Very tidy, comfortable bed, wifi, very pleasant staff. Away from the city, short travel time from the airport. Will stay again.
- Nina (8/5): Small, cozy, provided what we needed - Family run, lovely and polite. Small but it had everything we needed and we were happy. It's tucked away out the back so fairly quiet. Air con was a great bonus as it got quite hot at night (usual summer time temperatures). Daily house keeping too
- Barbara (10/5): Friendly Motel Convenient for Auckland Airport - Hosts were very friendly, room very pleasant, clean and comfortable; ideal for getting to Auckland Airport.
- p.j. (4/5): Noisy location, shaky wifi - Located next to a busy street where the traffic goes on through the night.
Room clean and bed ok but fair amount of street noise all through the night.
Bathroom small and the washbasin was the smallest I've come across, had difficulty even washing my hands.
Wifi signal strength kept varying and sometimes dropped down to zero completely.
Cannot recommend staying here and will not come here again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Handy to town, shops, playground etc. Upstairs bedroom for our children was extremely hot and we found the family unit a little pokey for a family of four. OK value for money. Slightly noisy given that it's on the main road. No curtain over front door and only blinds on the front meant the light came into the room from 5.30am
- Steve (10/5): Just what you are looking for - So, I have been looking for a cost effective motel in Auckland for some time now, and have made some horrible mistakes in the past.
I think I've cracked it with the Papakura Monument Motor Lodge and will definitely make this my destination of choice in the future.
Friendly staff, tidy & clean rooms, Sky TV, free wifi, walking distance to restaurants, free parking, soap (it doesn't seem like much but try going a day without it). All the basics are covered, for a good price, and buttered up with very pleasant staff who make you feel welcome.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Expensive Budget motel. Overrated for the price. - Our room was on the road front. Very small space. No frills. Comfortable but very dated. Bathroom tap loose and the door couldn't shut, basic maintenance needed. No extra blankets and the spare pillows did not have fresh pillowcases.
- Verified traveler (10/5): newly renovated and clean. Spacious room - The room is very clean. Can tell the bathroom is newly renovated. New air conditioner / heater. There is electric blanket too which is a bonus! The room also have a small kitchen.
This hotel is in a quiet neighborhood and there is a gas station nearby. There is also a McDonald's within 5 minutes drive.
- Brett (8/5): Weekend getaway - Great stay for a short trip,
- Pat (8/5): Nice motel,close to the venue we were at for - Four of us stayed there in separate units.They were clean and well presented.The owners were very kind and helpful.The place was well kept outside as well. Highly recommend.
- Georgina (6/5): Exceptionally clean. Basic facilities. Owner great - We stayed here for one night, for an engagement party nearby. It was quiet and very clean. Room was basic, but fine. It had a heater/aircon unit, toaster, hotplate, microwave, fridge. The owner/manager was lovely and wanted to make sure we had a good stay.
- Denise (10/5): Clean, comfortable, convenient - A very comfortable stay. Conveniently close to rail enabling easy access into the city. The host and hostess were really quite charming.
- Ed (8/5): Good situation. handy to shops and railway/bus int - Found it very comfortable. Compact but well fitted out.
- Eddie (10/5): Quiet Location - Close to motor way , very friendly staff , nice and warm , great value , and clean
- Maureen (10/5): Nice Motel - This motel is nice and quite , its close to the road but you don't hear the road noise .
Nice and clean .We enjoyed our stay ,would stay again
