Airport Gold Star Motel  

Facility for 7-8ppl staying together

Staffs attitude towards clients is totally unprofessional and rude

First Impressions was that it could do with a make over. But there was heaps of room and the beds were comfortable. A basic but full kitchen allowed us to make a home cooked meal. 2 bed rooms with 2 single beds and a Queen bed and sofabed in the main room. Tv was beside the bed head? We had a long stop over between USA and Australia so decided to stay the extra night and look around Aukland. Our flight arrived at 4.30 am we rang for a transfer but were advised we would have to pay for an extra night to be picked up at that time but he agreed to pick us up and let us into our room at 8 am. So after a bit of a wait at the airport we got to have showers before jumping on the hop on hop off bus out the front of the hotel. We had the option to be droped off at the Airport but chose the shopping centre accross the road to kill some time. Walked to the airport when ready.

Staff were extremley helpful,and made us feel at home,was nice to be able to have our friends and family over on xmas day and swim and bbq by the pool together and the cleaning service was perfect,clean towels, rubbish removed and beds made every day,

Would have been good to have a microwave and free internet access in room.

The Motel is very conveniently located close to Auckland airport, and the Motel will kindly arrange free transport to or from the airport. The staff were very helpful and friendly. In fact we stayed twice in the Motel, once in a family studio which had two bedrooms, and again in a single studio fro just two people. The accommodation has a fully equipped kitchen, and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom fittings work but are now looking a bit tired, and could do with renovation. Breakfast is brought to the room but is pretty basic for the price. The Motel is walking distance from several good restaurants, and a bus route to the centre of Auckland.

The Motel is situated on a busy main road, and near a community centre. Depending on which part of the Motel you stay at it can be a little noisy, but for both rooms we stayed in the noise was not a problem.

Booked initially for my non-English speaking parents and friends who were travelling in North Island and arrived late into Auckland. Great pick up / drop off service even at awkward hours! David is just amazing, and really went for the extra mile to facilitate their short stay in nz, and made my family and friends feel really welcomed and safe. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

Fantastic value for money. Clean and alot more spacious then alot of more modern motels I have stayed in. David the manager was outstanding.Full of information about eateries, local sites and city attractions. So nice to sit under a most magnificent magnolia tree and have a wine. Pool looked great but a little too cold at this time! Shuttle from and to airport efficent and fast. Highly recommended to short stay and I am sure would be great for a longer vist too. Will be back!

Friendly and close to the airport. Hotel staff arranged our collection from the hotel by the people were hiring our campervan from and he was very friendly and chatty during the drive from the airport.

Dated decor

David, the manager was excellent

Location

Friendly and convenient

Needs an upgrade in the rooms

Conveniently close to Auckland Airport for late night arrivals & early morning departures.

The helpfulness and friendliness of the manager

I thought it was priced too high for the value and therefore would not recommend it or stay there again myself

We visited durig the rugby world cup chose the motel as it was one of the few available at the time . Although all hotel prices were raised during the event, we were charged 210. nz dollars for a room in a facility which needs an entire overhaul. The going rate for such a motel is about 80. nz dollars . The owner is very helpful but this is not good value for the money. Make sure to stay clear of Jamal the cabdriver whom the motel will call if you need a taxi. He will rip you off.
