No Love given here. To property or guests. No apology from manager about poor communication re checkin. Towels missing. No plug in kitchen so couldn’t wash dishes. Even cutlery missing. Absolutely no care being shown to property upkeep. Embarrassing if this is what our overseas tourists experience. Yuk

Had to go to another hotel to check in. Room was very dirty especially in the kitchen on shelves and in cupboards. Toilet was broken, was trying to ring reception but kept getting hung up on. Went to separate hotel to speak to receptionist, they got someone in to fix toilet as there were no other rooms Available for our sized group. There was only one tiny fan heater for the whole 2bedroom place and no extra blankets. No flannels and not enough towels for everyone.

As I was arriving late I called to let them know my expected eta (it took several attempts before they answered - not very confidence inspiring). I was anxious about not having anywhere to sleep for the night. They said they’d sent me late check in details. Nothing arrived. I waited an hour and tried calling again - no answer. Before boarding my ferry I tried calling again but no answer so I sent an email. No response or check in info. When I got off the ferry, I rode to the address. Total darkness and no one around. I called the number which fortunately after some time was answered. I told them where I was & they said they were coming. 5 mins later still waiting in the dark, I called again & was told I had to go to another motel further up the road to get my key. You probably can’t appreciate it but after a long day & anxiety already high about not having a bed, being told (after I’d parked up the bike, waited in the dark) to get the key elsewhere, the experience was off the charts in the negative direction. All this could have been easily avoided by simply sending me the required info when asked. The reality is, the info should have been provided automatically without me needing to call & chase up. The room was ok from a cleanliness point, though carpet was threadbare in places and heavily stained. Damaged worktops & a stack of neglected building materials outside the kitchen window. This experience has affected my view of Wotif & my likelihood to use Wotif again.

The location on a busy road made for a noisy poor night's sleep, the lights from the street made it through the curtains also contributing to poor sleep. Clearly not much use of the motel - room was musty. It was clean however and good parking. Like many Wellington motels was pretty tired in terms of decor, check in and out was annoying - no one on site, had to another motel - and call to get a number for the lock box to get my key. There seemed to be a lot of random people/cars at the motel not associated with people staying there which made me feel (single woman) not particularly safe. Maybe it's being used for emergency accommodation as well? It was hard to tell.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The service when I went to check in, although I was early, the reception was locked, this was at 1 p.m., and when the door was opened, the cooking smell was unbearable. The person was talking on the phone all the time while serving me. The room itself was clean enough, and the sheets, towels etc were laundered, but there were attempted repairs done to the unit, and not finished, the furniture was damaged, mirror in the bathroom someone had engraved an X from corner to corner. Mould growing on the ceiling in the bathroom. The main bed had no spring support, so it felt like you were sleeping in a hole.

The property had not been serviced properly upon our arrival. No towels etc. Few utensils in kitchen. Curtains were hanging off rails. Had to walk three properties away to access keys. Parking, location excellent. Rooms were spacious. Furniture and bedding were very good. Overall, we found the motel suited our visit. After speaking with the manager, our room was well serviced.

The motel unit we were in needs to be cleaned from top to toe - specifically doors, walls and the shower. There was a strong, overpowering perfume smell in the unit. It permeated all our clothing and belongings and was awful. The place has potential - bedrooms upstairs are huge, its in a great location. It is just dirty and very tired. Service on site was non existent and had to collect key from another motel up the road once I phoned to find out what was going on.
