I was travelling on my own and felt very safe here. The lady at reception was lovely and it was so good to see a friendly smile after the very long day I had gone through. I slept well for the two nights I was there. Will stay again.

Very clean and great location. Vanity and bedside tables have veneer peeling, bathroom mirror shabby on edges, bathroom floor needs repainting or replacing. Compared to other motels in Petone i think its a little overpriced for its condition.

Close proximity to the foreshore, and Jackson St for browsing multiple second hand stores for books and plenty of dining options. It is somewhat dated but clean and the bed was comfortable except for the hard plastic circle from the electric blanket that tended to gravitate into the right side of the bed. There was only 1 bedside lamp - none on the right hand side on which I sleep and like to read from before sleep. In the kitchenette there was only 1 teaspoon and the dessert spoons were more the size of serving spoons. Overall quite adequate for our 2 night stay

This property was dirty overall. The walls were dirty, the shower needed a good clean, the room smelt. The bathroom which faced the main road had no blinds for privacy; even though the glass was frosted it still would not provide the respectable privacy required. Overpriced at $179 per night. Stayed at several hotels during our tour of NZ that were cheaper and were excellent.
