Aotea Motel

It was comfortable & central...

Liked: The location was great! Very close to the centre of town (walking distance to Cathedral Square) & Margaret Mahy park. Also close to major roads, so it was easy to get to where we needed to. Rooms were quiet & peaceful. Rooms were neat & tidy & staff were very willing to assist when I was unable to get the hot plate working.
Disliked: Rooms needed some upkeep, like fixing towel rail, painting over treated mould in shower & cleaning of some upholstery, but were otherwise tidy. Be aware that hosts expect guests to wash & put away all dishes before leaving (we only found this out by a chance comment & have never come across this before). A liner in the kitchen bin would also be helpful.
