540 on Great South Motel

房間好像剛裝修過，總體挺乾淨。離機場挺近，臨時過渡一夜還行。

Stayed here, arranged and paid for by airline, when flight to Wellington was rerouted to Auckland due to weather. Put me in a room with a queen bed and two twins—relatively large room. Seems well kept, but the age of the hotel is evident. Room is keyed with metal keys. No chain on door. Main road just outside the window, so if I hadn't arrived at 3am the traffic noise would have been bothersome. Brought breakfast in the morning (milk/cornflakes, yogurt, bread/jam, and large glass of apple juice). Internet is $3/5mins, or $8 per day, so didn't bother.

The bed was comfortable, and the only thing that felt fresh and clean. Firstly I noticed the bathroom was sub-standard with stains, questionable "deposits" on the wall by the toilet, burn-marks in the sink, and no facilities for cleaning dishes, if we could have stomached using the chipped crockery and very old and faded looking mugs. The kettle had water in it when we checked in. The Television was good with Freeview channels only. The fridge was empty and in need of a good clean. The shower is mounted over a spa-bath, which I was not prepared to use due to the marks in the bath. Decor is very tired and shabby (apart from the bed which was fine, if firm). The staff-member who served me was polite when checking in as was the other staff member who took my key when checking out.

Good hosts but the soundproofing is almost non-existent. I could hear every word said in the room next door as well as slamming drawers television and arguments. I had the misfortune to be there for an extended period and it was just awful. Terrible area. I guess it depends on your expectations but 4 stars it is not.

very neat and spacious rooms with hot showers all the linen is classic this hotel accomodation is just unbelievably this affordable yet the services are way far too good i can not wait to have my family and friends visit boulevard excelsior motel

Motel 540 on great south road is the best kept accommodation secret in Auckland. The rooms are spacious, well appointed and very clean. The rates are extremely competitive. The location is excellent. Across the road is an Indian restaurant with wonderful food, competitive pricing and engaging staff. We went there twice and will back. It was walking distance to the ethnic village of Otahuhu which we just loved the friendliness of. Finally the staff of 540 are just wonderful. We will be to Auckland again soon and because it was so close to the airport we won't stay anywhere else
