Auckland Newmarket Motel

Loved it! Thanks guys!

Where do I begin? Check in went ok. While we were getting into our room some loud music started blasting from one of the other rooms. This would be an issue that would go on day and night for the two nights we stayed. It only stopped when my friend yelled from our upstairs window to turn the music off. The room itself was a lounge with a table, couch, single bed and kitchen downstairs and upstairs a room with a double bed and bath room. There beds were so uncomfortable my friends barely slept. There were badly patched holes on the walls, poor home DIY type repairs, new carpet with very uneven flooring underneath, filthy coffee mugs ( we went and purchased our own), uneven amounts of cutlery , no dishwashing liquid to clean what we used, we had to buy our own toilet paper as we were given one roll and were unable to contact staff about more - the 24 hour reception we were told was there was nonexistent. It was advertised that the room would be serviced, it was not. The bathroom was full of home like DIY repairs, paint peeling from the windowsill and a shower over a dirty looking spa style bath. There was no nonslip mat for the bath, which meant, as we had to climb into the bath for our shower, I ended up slipping and hurting my leg and back . There were many cobwebs in the room, we had two tvs and no remotes that worked ( or even matched the tv brands there) several lights bulbs had blown, and the fan to cool the room down was so dusty it couldn’t be used as it was a health hazard. The photos online are very deceiving. We paid $220 a night and would have changed motels if we could get into another one but, we were unable to find anywhere as the city was fully booked due to events on that weekend. All I can say is, don’t go there.
