I didn’t see there was one on the counter because I have vision problems. There was no sign in the room. Second day I met the same woman, asked if there was WiFi and password, she said, go to the reception desk to see. She could have told me the password which is a simple one. The woman toilet room has some slot ran out of toilet paper for more than one day. The genitor seemed watched his cell phone a lot. Some travelers dumped their food into kitchen sinks, and some didn’t clean the utensils well or clean the mess they made. ##### Qingyi Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Duchess Wade 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room I had no ##### Duchess Wade Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Location! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great place.

Holes and half painted walls, grubby rooms and bathroom, and the kitchen is filthy. Didn't even want to put my bag down. Security is bad, homeless people living there trying to grab spare beds, just walk into the rooms as noone locks behind them. Got zero sleep as ambulance arrived 3am blaring their horn to be let in? Also the bedding was a sleeping bag... ##### Miss I Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel 28 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not recommend not worth it ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ricki Lee 18 Oct 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Great place to stay, warm and safe.

Rooms super hot with temp control and only a fan to help you would not recommend the place ##### John Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenssen Anthony 13 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Since I am an Aucklander, I pretty know the area much.
