  "Some maintenance needed"

  Our room we stayed in, Room Noumber 7 needed a few things fixed, a month before we stayed in the same room and it had the same problems that hadnt been fixed by our second stay.

  The door into the bathroom sticks really bad and needs lifting to get in and out.

  The shower goes straight out and hit the back wall quite high up, this would be ok if you were really tall, but the nozzle is not able to be adjusted at all.

  "Great location but..............."

  This motel/lodge is based in a good location but as for the motel itself Hmmmmm! Our room was very tiny and pokey, the bathroom looked like it could of done with a good scrub around the shower. The beds were uncomfortable and the rooms are noisy. We are not picky people and didn't expect heaps for the price we paid but we were disappointed with our stay here :0(

  "Enjoyed our stay"

  Older motel but updated nicely -

  Great location if your looking to be downtown in the restaraunt/bar district. Less than a 5 minute walk to Cortney Place. Excellent access to to transportation system.

  Parking was very tight - make sure you have a compact vehicle.

  Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom but otherwise very clean rooms. Rooms were cleaned everyday.

  "Halswell"

  A great place to stay. But owner did not effectivly deal with the noice issues which went on till 3.00am dispite her assuring us she will have the visitors out ASAP. Reponse to the complaint at check out was met by a "oh too bad you had to stay awake" attitude. Wondering how long she would have put up wit hpeople upstairs dragging chairs and bouncing balls through the night.

  "Good and Bad.."

  We stayed three nights in the Lodge up the top of the very steep drive-way. The room was nice, furnished in an art deco style suiting the age of the building. Fantastic high pressure shower, nice comfortable king-size bed, large room. Separate kitchen right next door was nice. Downside was on looking under the bed for a misplaced item, found enough dirt and dust to plant a crop of potatoes! Management should be checking on their cleaners work more frequently. Ceiling in bathroom was also very mouldy and dirty. The parking at Halswell lodge is a nightmare as spaces are very limited. It's a real gamble whether you'll have a place to park if you dare to take your car out for a spin.

  "Windy Wellington"

  It was good to return to the city of my birth for a Worser Bay Surf Livesaving Club Reunion and stay at a well appointed city motel unit that was convenient to Bus Stops,Airport and a wide range of restaurants and cafes at nearby Courtenay Place.

  Excellent computer connections and a very friendly and helpful staff.

  The only downside was that the view from my unit was the brick wall of the adjoining property! Overall my impression was good value for the reasonable tariff charged.

  "Review"

  Our room was discounted, however I was not impressed with our room. The decor was dated and the room was dark. I wasn't impressed with the concrete wall we had to look at. Our comment is in comparrison to other places we checked out after we had been to the lodge (word of mouth from friends) for around the same price up to $20 more, the rooms being larger, brighter and more modern. It was not what we had envisioned from the website so we were extremely disappointed. Wouldn't recommend this to others given what other deals are around in Wellington city.

  "Very convenient, so ideally located!"

  Nice welcoming people. The motel is ideally located , very close to restaurants, with a very nice coffee place just next door. The standard room is a bit small, but we could move into a bigger one upstairs.Yet the bed is still narrow and the matress wants changing. The place can become noisy at night with doors slaming. Not much room around the wash basin in the bathroom, but a good pressure in the shower, hot water quickly, and a good heater in the room, which is nice to have in July. Handy free parking at rear.
