The room, bathroom and kitchen were clean. On the positive side we had booked a studio unit and got a full motel unit. On the negative side the bed was so hard that it was like sleeping on the floor. One of us didn't get much sleep because of that.

Although off a busy road once you arrived inside. No road noise. Modern facilities. No aircon. No real reception. You rang a number to organise key. Impersonal. But facilities fine. Reasonably priced.

Booked 2 bedroom for family of 5 as I was seeking self contained accommodation to be able to cook meals during our 2 night stay. Main issue was that the oven and stove top did not work well/ at all which was disappointing. Overall it was adequate and if the cooking facilities were improved would consider staying again.

Takapuna Motor Lodge is absolutely disgusting. Our room was filthy with stains on the duvet cover, dirty utensils and dirty towels left behind the bedside table. The communication with staff was terrible and they were late goving iur bond back, we had to chase them up about this. I would not stay here again and I would most definitely NOT recommend anyone to stay here. Yuck.

Our booking was for 2x adults & 2 x Children - Boy & Girl teenagers. There was not enough room for the sofa bed to fold out so unusable. Sofa bed was not made up and when bedding was requested & supplied it didn't fit the bed. Were told that nothing can be done as that was the room we had booked. Eventually after much complaining we were given a more suitable room!

I don’t know why I didn’t read the reviews before booking 3 nights here. The location was good for the event we were attending at Eventfinda, and it was spacious. However; no one was available to check in, I called the # on the door and was asked to provide my credit card details to verify my identity and get the key, I didn’t feel comfortable doing that, and I had already paid. After arguing backwards and forwards someone came out of reception with the key anyway? If it was there all along in really not sure why I had to go through all that. We didn’t see anyone else for the duration of our stay, we wanted to use the laundry that had a sign saying open 10-10 but it was locked the whole time. There are so many great options on the north shore, this is not one of them.
