Parnell City Lodge.

We arrived a little early to fill in the paperwork and informed the owner we could come back later to check into the room. Firstly we were met with cold rudeness. The parking lot looked untidy and unkempt. The foyer of this lodge was untidy -floors not swept, dust on the desk and papers strewn all over the foyer desk. The landlord was scruffy, untidy, impatient and terribly dismissive . Walking to the room seemed like I was living a nightmare the corridor to the room had stained untidy looking carpets. The room although had the once over cleaning, had a distinctive stale stench. The carpet looked old, worn out and stained. When my friend who drove me to this lodge, and I commented on the smell the owner aggressively stated that the room was clean, handed me the key and stormed out, leaving us standing there in utter bewilderment. In all it was a nightmare so I left and booked into another hotel. Maybe I was unfortunate. I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY to THANK EXPEDIA and their excellent staff who handled my complaints promptly , displaying empathy, patience, courtesy and professionalism. Nothing for the Expedia team was a bother. They called back later to check I was okay when I had booked into the other hotel. They also dealt with my complaints in a manner that reassured me immediately especially as I was in another country and felt vulnerable after my ordeal. I would definitely recommend booking through Expedia as they care about you. THANK YOU Expedia for all your help.

Filthy, dated, but great location

Everything appeared totally unprofessional on this site. First impressions set the standard of the room. Reception area untidy and vacuum cleaners sitting there (clearly this is their storage area as they don't appear to have been used int he room I had)The room was filthy - bed linen gross, dirt, dust and grime everywhere, cutlery unclean, dirt and dust around electrical cords and power points, mold and mildew on curtains. Didn't use the shower as there was still old soap left on the shelf so nervous to think of what else was in the soap trap. Tiny fridge with old microwave balancing on top of it and dirty old toaster balancing on top of that. Old furniture cramped into the room.

Easter in Auckland

A really great location. It's just a pity our first impression of our reception greeting and subsequent request for additional towels wasn't great and this set the scene for the remainder of our stay here. Originally booked for 3x nights but stayed 2x. The room was adequate, the bathroom tight, not enough cutlery or plates etc for 4x people, the TV was good. Looks like they are making some renovations? which could make things better.

Even my kids noticed it was filthy

receptionist doesn't regularly check his emails and had already given our room away.. So he put us in a different room. He called the cleaner who was finishing her clean of this room so it was now ready. She was finishing up as we walked in but had no vacuum, mop nor any clean linen. the place hadn't been vacuumed, in the lounge was a pull down double bed which was already down and she hadn't cleaned all the bits and pieces from under it, more rubbish under couch cushions a small red carpet mat at the end of the bed had so much dirt under it I don't think it's ever been cleaned! Behind the TV cabinet along the window was a mass trail of dirt, dust and dead bugs also left there for us.. She spot cleaned the lino badly with a cloth instead of a mop and there was the previous guests hair in the shower! Four of us staying in this room and we were given one small bar of soap and one tiny shampoo barely big enough for one. The handle for the shower door had been snapped off at some stage and not repaired making it nearly impossible to even open the door - the bathroom door itself was missing its rollers meaning my kids couldn't even shut the door - when I helped them we found the door was too small for the door frame!!! Thick layers of dust on every high surface and all skirting boards. Outside was a mess, dirt and cords everywhere. Mattresses in the outside hallways and cords running down the stairs.

Please do not book this place or advertise it

We arrived 1.5 hours after check in (which is at 2:00pm). The owner who manages the reception was not welcoming at all, had a bad attitude and unfriendly. When we went to the room to check in we found that it has not been cleaned, beds unmade, bathrooms in a state. We went back to the reception and complained about the state of the room. The owner called the cleaner and asked for the room to be cleaned. There was no way that the rooms would have been ready in time and the state of the place outside and inside is actually quite disgraceful. I do not think that Expedia should be endorsing or advertising this venue because it gives your brand a bad name. I want my money back please. When we asked the owner for a refund he said that he had not received the money and to contact the booking agent.

Huge let-down

I’ve learnt a lesson not to check reviews for an accommodation provider prior to booking it. This place was a total let-down. From the moment we arrived I felt uncomfortable. It was clear that they catered more for long stays than overnight travellers. The outside of the building was run down, the alleyway near the reception area was stacked with old, broken things. The owner was manning the reception and he was unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. The cherry on the cake was when he unlocked our room and we discovered the room was not made – at 3:30pm in the afternoon! We decided not to stay there for the night and the owner would not refund us. He told us to go to the booking agent direct.The photos speak for themselves. Our weekend was ruined by this experience. I would highly recommend you to not advertise this property any longer.

Horrible

I should have read the reviews before I booked this place! The "room" we stayed in was not a bedroom - more like a rumpus room or something. No windows, no ventilation, and no secured internal/external doors. VERY unclean and unhygienic. Towels had stains and the owner put a carton of milk in a non-working mini fridge... Not to mention that the owner is very rude. Everything at this place was WRONG. We initially booked this hotel for 5 nights but cancelled the last 3 nights as I simply could NOT stand living there for any longer! NOT recommended to anyone.

Not quite what I expected.

Considering it was such a good price for four of us, I should have known that was an indication of what to expect. The booking I made was for a balcony room, we did not get that. At first glance the room seemed fine. However, the kitchen sinks were stained and had a pea in one, the microwave was very rusty inside (must surely be a H&S hazard), and the extra 'clean' towels we were given had yellow stains all over them. Not to mention the extra guest that made an appearance the next morning; a cockroach came crawling out from under the bathroom sink. The beds were comfortable though, and the Lodge itself was in a pretty good location; the distance to our event was a 5min car ride or 20min walk. I don't think I would return though, unless very desperate, as I now know what to expect.

The motel was convenient, being just across the road from my conference venue. But overpriced for what it offers. Limited facilities and all a bit "tired". Clean enough, but having the appearance of being quite run down. Would I stay there again - yes, if the price was right. Ok for sleeping.

Deludente alloggio in bella zona

Il manager mi ha agevolata per il check-in a tarda notte. Arrivata molto stanca ho aperto il letto e trovato lenzuola sporche, ho dormito su un'asciugamani. Il giorno dopo il manager ha accettato di far cambiare le lenzuola ma stanza e bagno ho dovuto pulirmeli io perché secondo loro era tutto a posto. La stanza era assurda: niente luce o aria diretta, dava su un corridoio di passaggio comune, quindi dovevo lasciare le tende sempre chiuse per evitare di essere vista da tutti i passanti. Il corridoio era anche umido e maleodorante. Peccato perché il quartiere era molto bello e vicino al centro ma non tornerei per nessun motivo in quel lodge e non lo raccomando a nessuno!

Insects infested place.

We arrived at 10:15pm and the Manager was still there to show us the room. But to our dismay, The room 3A given to us was infested with insects like mosquitos, cockroaches and crawling insects. The ventillators were too tight to be closed and all kinds of insects were coming in all night. The Room was otherwise comfortable although small. We were given a small packet of milk which is appreciated. The linen and towels were old but not bad. It was ok for a late night stay.
