We found the lights strange. Only one option ALL lights on or none. The room was clean and well presented but for the price it was rather dated. No air con. These are not complaints just points of interest.

The Auto Lodge New Plymouth is fine. It is dated and could definitely do with a tidy up / update. However, it served its purpose and was adequate for my over night stay.
