    Someone upstairs from us was rather noisy until late, loud tv and loud person.

    Location was good, right across the road from Countdown. The room was spotlessly clean and the bathroom nice.

    Not applicable as there was nothing I disliked.

    Our motel unit was equipped for what we needed. The room was clean quiet and comfortable. The bed was great and we slept well. We didn't meet any of the staff due to our late arrival and early departure but all went well with access to our room.

    No soap provided so we bought some at the supermarket.

    Reasonably close to Bluebridge ferry. Close to road but not that much traffic so slept well, good to have off street parking. Only 50m to Countdown supermarket with a good selection of microwave meals available.

    It was a freezing cold night and the heating was difficult to workout how to operate it. The information booklet said electric blankets were on the beds for our comfort there wasn’t any on the queen bed.

    It’s location was excellent as it is very close to Wellington Hospital

    Lucky it was on night. Unfortunately OVERPAID for what we got

    Very big crack in hand basin which is very unhygienic and disgusting. Also a very obvious stain on the carpet. Also whatever had been swept up was left under the hand basin. No facilities for washing dishes unless you used the basin with the very disgusting crack in it. Plaster on walls with no attempt to paint over them. Would have been nice to have a rubbish bin in the bathroom and not just in the main room. If you like LUKEWARM SHOWERS then you will be happy. This motel is obviously used fo government support housing. If I had known this I would not have stayed there. VERY OVERPRICED DON"T STAY there.

    Bed comfy

    Tight Squeeze

    That the place hadn't been cleaned properly. The fridge still had food in it from the previous occupant, we had to use the small glasses as coffee cups, the bathroom floor hadn't been mopped, and there was someone else's hair on it. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The door wouldn't lock properly, and it took ages to do it. Finally, the entrance to the motel was a very tight squeeze, and the proprietor said that the fence was often hit into. I could see the damage.

    That Countdown was diagonally across the road.

    No sink in the kitchen. No heater in the bathroom. Coffee where to small not big enough for a decent cup

    That it was close to the hospital which is what we needed but not what we are used to. Alright in an emergency.

    It appeared to be used as an emergency accommodation facility as well as for visitors to Wellington. Police were called to an incident in the room next to ours. No apologies from motel staff about this. Just odd.

    Handy to our son's flat

    Compact, tidy units that a great deal of thought and consideration has gone into. There is a power board in the kitchen with spare plugs, wall plug on either side of the bed so amazing for multiple devices. Bathroom is well equipped and even has a hairdrier which is so handy, plenty of towels, soap and there are even earplugs for the weary traveller looking to zone out from the world. Kitchen is stocked with the basic equipment, cutlery ana utensils, tea, coffee and hot chocolate provided with milk in the fridge which is appreciated when you arrive and looking for a pause moment before venturing out. Bed is comfortable with nice crisp white sheets and an extra blanket and pillow on hand and from top to bottom the entire unit is spotlessly clean and fresh,
