Not for us. But thanks

The unit is very cold, the tiles in the living area don’t help. Really needs underfloor heating or a rug. 1 two seater couch that was very uncomfortable and the beds were very hard and uncomfortable too :( Looks nice and clean, but just not comfortable for us sorry.

Standard clean and decent motel at a good price. Only downside was reception being shut when we arrived in the later evening in pouring rain.

I loved how clean was our room, quiet, spacious. Happy with all of that, easy check-in... Perfect! But, Our shower head fell over and broke with no reason so when we came back to the room and noticed was already late(Saturday around 11pm) and they couldn't replace shower head or offer another room as service was already far away from the hotel. So, there was no shower for us and an early sign out in the morning as we had to reach home far North to Waikato.

Stayed one night after arriving on the scenic train, walking distance from the station. Top quality apartments finished to a really good standard and spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchen area and beautiful bathroom. Easy walk to the Westfield shopping centre for everything you could need.

Highly recommended!

We arrived at motel after 6pm, and got in the room directly following the motel’s email instructions. Everything went smoothly without any issues. The room is spacious and very clean with a well equipped kitchen although we did not really use it. Our one night stay was very comfortable. Highly recommended!

The Golden Star hotel is it within walking distance of the train station. It's located in a commercial area, but we were extremely happy with the hotel itself. It was very clean and comfortable. The manager was extremely proactive and took care of the issues we were having which were very minor. I highly recommend this hotel.
