No handy bedside light on one side of bed. Furniture is terribly outdated. Rusty heater on wall. Rusty bedside light. Broken kitchen cupboards. Broken floor skirting board. Only two drinking mugs, both stained. grubby tea-towel. Overall condition of unit very poor and depressing.

Not worth price

Noisy as can hear other guests in their rooms. Think it is permanent housing for some. Outdated decor. Shower is for a very skinny person as have to squeeze between door & wall & turn shower on after in as water will hit door & go outside onto floor. Not the best parking. No extra blankets when cold, and old smelly wall heater.

Utterly disappointing

Grotty motel filled with social housing tenants on a busy noisey road. Shouting in the middle of the night, being watched by tenants sitting on balconies drinking and smoking, felt like we would get robbed as soon as we went out!

It's ok...

We stayed in this motel for two separate stints during the Lions Tour of 2017. At first sight the hotel looked in need of a refurbishment and a bit run down; however, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room smelt of damp - probably because we arrived at the depth of winter. Unfortunately there were areas where it could certainly be improved on. The shower platform does not drain, so one is forced to shower in a puddle, and some of the windows do not open/close very well. There is residual noise from the room but that is due to it being close to a main road (Te Atatu South). There are some amenities near by, including a large supermarket and petrol station. There is on-site parking. Overall this is an ok place to stay for a short while if you don't want to pay central Auckland prices, and is easy to get on the motorway to explore other parts of New Zealand, but I wouldn't stay here for as long as we did.

Table was dirty and sticky which in turn made us feel that it wasn't a very nice place to stay, water was hot in shower which was good though.

Convenient motel for my area

Four nights at a convenient location. Old style motel looking rather tired, but adequately equipped for a short stay by a single person who doesn't want to self-cater. The room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and sweaty bodies, indicating that drapes, furnishings and bedspread etc need drycleaning, and the bed itself needs some sort of anti-bacterial treatment.

update required

Cigarette burns on carpet. Marks in hand basin. You needed to hold shower hose to wash as you were unable to point water down on to yourself. Skirting boards needed a clean. Police arrived to checkup on a person in one of the rooms. They had no vacancies.

Disappointed

Booked and prepaid for 3 nights, we where aware that it was possibly going to be shabby because of the resonable room rate so that wasnt going to be a problem. What we found was there are semi permanent government funded residents living there who come and go in vehicles all night , will sit and talk with each other (or on their mobiles) on bbq tables placed right outside our ranchsider with our bed right there - they slammed their ranchsliders and made no attempt to be considerate .....managment was very good and refunded 2 nights so we could leave but we got NO sleep

Was disappointed with the condition of the room. Two power points in key locations didn't work, the shavers socket was falling out of the wall and the overall cleanliness wasn't that great. For the price we payed for one night the conditions should have been far greater.

Appears to be a live-in motel, which is a bit awkward. Facilities were average. No hair dryer in room. Noise from street not bad even with the roadworks going on right outside.

Old and neglected.

No actual sign saying Sunset Lodge just Motel so thankfully we had our Google Maps to say we'd arrived. The motel is old and run down and lacking in ground and property maintenance. If there had been anything else available in Auckland we wouldn't have stayed after seeing it from the road - I actually tried to call a few from the car before we even drove in!! There are cigarette stains on the dated vanity and no working lights or power points in the bathroom. Decor is from the 70s/80s at best. Bed was HARD; we don't mind a firm matress but this was something else! While the room 'smelt' clean...it wasn't. The office stank of stale cigarette smoke...but the quiet Asian man behind the desk was friendly and helpful. That's really the only positive I can give.

handy to the motorway

Although the road was subject to road works thats to be expected in auckland. Service was prompt beds were comfortable. The shower was quite tiny so I dont know how big breasted women would manage to close the door. But it was nice and hot. If you ever want to walk from western springs to the motel the north west cycle track is ideal well lit and takes one hour 50 minutes. Getting a car out of parking or trying to find a taxi could take that long. the trip to the Bombays took 40 minutes leaving at 9.30. So all in all the guns concert was great accommodation handy and we must have flucted the traffic madness

Not what we expected

Motel run down gardens untidy and swimming pool is of limits now for owners use only. Not one night decent sleep as permanent people living there are very active all night and too much noise made by them at night. Our room was bearly serviced. They was blood on the walls and doors which I had to clean up myself as it was there when we arrived. I would not recommend or stay again.

Checked out early

Motel not looking as good as I remember, road works didn't help. Couldn't fault the cleanliness of the room A plus for that, the owners very understanding when I complained about the noise coming from the room above still going at 1:30 am and gave me my money back. This is due to the upstairs units being let out long term. I think Expedia should let people know that this is happening and good on the owners for utilizing their business.

We had booked a 2 bedroom unit , but on arrival were told it was actually 2 1 bedroom units. The units were clean. but 1 unit smelt strongly of stale cigarette smoke. Found bed very hard and curtains were very poor quality and let in a lot of light. Would never stay here again.
