6.8/10

My stay at the Avondale Motor Inn was far from ideal. While the location was convenient and the rooms were clean, the service and amenities left much to be desired. I encountered several issues, from the lack of essential kitchen items to unresponsive management regarding urgent maintenance needs.

Rooms

5.0

While the room I stayed in was clean and tidy, it was cramped and poorly maintained. I experienced problematic kitchen facilities, and the furnishings were dated and mismatched, which affected the overall comfort.

Service

5.0

The management was unhelpful and often unresponsive. I faced issues that went addressed, and I felt my concerns were not taken seriously. This lack of customer service greatly impacted my experience.

Location

5.0

The location was suitable, being conveniently near local markets and not far from Auckland's attractions. It was easily accessible, but it wasn't the main highlight of my stay.

Dining

While dining options were advertised, my experience highlighted that they were limited and not conveniently accessible. I wish I had more choices nearby.

Facilities

The motel advertised several amenities, but many were not maintained. The pool was empty, and the kitchen had insufficient utensils which made cooking difficult. I expected better for the price I paid.

I had a mixed experience at Avondale Motor Inn. The staff were friendly and the location was ideal for my needs, close to everything I wanted to visit. However, the cleanliness of some common areas could be improved, and I found the accommodations to be a little basic for the price. Overall, it served its purpose for my short stay, but I might consider other options in the future.

Rooms

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They made me feel welcome and even let me check out a few rooms before booking. However, I did encounter some issues when trying to resolve a booking matter that left me feeling unsupported.

The location was perfect for my needs, just a short walk to nearby markets and close to the places I intended to visit. I felt secure with the electronic gates, though the road traffic was occasionally noisy at night.

Dining options were limited, and unfortunately, I resorted to eating out. I noticed the kitchen items in the room were insufficient, which made meal preparation challenging.

The facilities were basic but functional. I appreciated having access to laundry services, although the pool seemed unattended and I didn't use it during my stay.

The location was great for my needs, being just a short walk to the local markets and conveniently close to major roads for getting around Auckland.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were either within walking distance or available at the motel, but with the kitchen items being limited and in need of cleaning, I opted to eat out.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities like the pool seemed uninviting and not well-maintained, which made me hesitant to use them. The laundry service was a plus but could have been advertised better.

6.6/10

My stay at the Avondale Motor Inn had its ups and downs. The room was relatively clean, but I felt that privacy was limited due to the sliding glass door right next to the bed. I did have a comfortable bed, but the noise from neighboring rooms and the lack of iron were issues that affected my experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was quite small, reminiscent of cramped hotel rooms, with barely enough space to open my suitcase. It was also a bit dark, and I found a spider in the corner, which made me uncomfortable. Privacy was a concern as the entryway was very close to where I slept.

Service

5.0

While the front desk staff was friendly, I had issues with communication regarding towels for my children. Despite showing the manager my booking confirmation, there was confusion about the number of towels provided, which dampened the service experience.

Location

6.0

The location was alright for me, as it was only a short drive to the areas I needed to visit. Being near the Avondale market was a plus that I appreciated, making it easy to find some local dining options.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were limited since I couldn't find restaurants within walking distance. But I did manage to find some nearby places for takeout.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were just okay; the swimming pool was empty during my stay, which was disappointing given how it was marketed. I also noted that kitchen supplies were limited, and the overall maintenance seemed lacking, like the shower that had a poor water temperature.
