The staff were friendly and helpful, but was not aware that the motel was used for social housing and was noisy.

Good location, we needed a place to stay while coming up to see P!NK in concert at Eden park as there was no hotels in the city left. Is quiet an old motel, smells funky, like it needs a deep clean. Neighbours were noisy (partying) if we had come with our kids this would have been a big no no. Was ok since we got in at 11pm. And checked out at 9am.. that was an easy $300 for the motel owners.

There was no hot water either in the evening nor first thing in the morning. It was only just above cold. I went to inform management at reception and was only spoken to over an intercom with no apology or solution offered. Things go wrong sometimes, that accepted, but to fully ignore it when it's brought to your attention is extremely poor

It had a little kitchenette, which we did not use, but that would have been convenient for others. One washcloth for two is likely not sufficient, a little more shampoo for two would’ve been lovely. I think newer, softer pillow would be nice.

The room was very clean, however the stairs to office and also to room on upper level were hard with a suitcase. The curtains were very light and in poor condition. I was also disappointed not to get any milk when I checked in or in my room. The only lock on the entrance was a ranchslider catch which I didnt feel completely secure with.

Our stay was wonderful. Only trouble was it had a microwave, but no bowls or anything you could cook in to put in the microwave. Needs a bowl at least if not 2? Also no grater available, and only 1 sharp knife, could have done with a vege knife as wel.. Other than that, service excellent, staff very polite chatty and friendly. Good customer service

Overall clean and tidy room. Good hot showers. We had a room located upstairs. Ask for downstairs room with mobility is an issue. Rooms located off the road, so quiet place to stay. Easy off street parking. Helpful staff. Overall good, place to stay. thanks

AvondaCloasle Motor Inn
We chose the Avondale Motor Lodge because it was close to family living in New Lynn The neighbourhood was very rundown and untidy and there were guests staying there as part of their social welfare benefit. The room was small ,clean and had been recently refurbished but there was very few utensils etc in the kitchenette. The manager was helpful enough , but came to ask us to leave five minutes after the departure time just as we were ready to vacate the room. We thought it was overpriced compared to other accomodation that we had looked at in Auckland. I cannot recommend it as a pleasant place to stay

Spend you money elsewhere
Arrived and waited for 10 minutes before given any service.Staff had no idea about my reservation. Place looked pretty run down. Room OK but bathroom not properly cleaned. Temp of shower varied from scalding to cold with no adjustment of mixer.Bag of Rubbish (not mine) left outside of door when I returned following night. Awoken but below room occupant in a very intoxicated ( and probably stoned) state Yelling and screaming obscenities at top of voice. Nothing done by staff to control the occupant. Quite frankly i wouldn't feel safe staying here ever again.

Only choice in the area?
The room was disappointing. Enough space but not all beds were fully made with sheets for the number of people they knew were coming and it was a bit light on duvet's for the winter months. The door lock was almost impossible to open and lock, carpet was stained, bath plug didn't fit, cockroach on the wall and general feeling of a tired and under-maintained motel.

We stayed as a family of 5 for 5 days and were very impressed. The staff were absolutely lovely, the apartment was very spacious, had excellent amenities and was spotlessly clean. We would absolutely stay here again.
