Gateway Motor Inn

This was the worst place I have stayed in my life. I stayed with my family during the last school holidays just prior to ANZAC day. It was so noisy. If you like automobiles, this is the place for you! Trains go past every 30 minutes and shake the whole room - this occurs throughout the night until at least 3am. There is the constant noise of trucks and cars going past the adjacent main highway. You also get the occasional plane being close to an airport. Plus, as an added bonus, at 2am on the first night some of the residents were having a massive domestic screaming at each other for an hour, with doors slamming and stomping around. It gave vibes that this motel is being used for Kainga Ora emergency housing based on the cliental. If you do have the unfortunate privilege of staying here, make sure you bring some earplugs - this helped me get through our second night, despite wanting to head home early! The room itself was ok, and the poor lady at reception was pleasant to deal with. The only hope for this place is to sell up to KO, or be a place for those with hearing impairments who wont mind the noise.

Easy check in, accommodating, friendly, called me up when I forgot items in room, it had everything I needed for an overnight stay. Convenient location. Clean and tidy, would definitely come back here. They also gave us extra sheets for the couch.

Thankful for awesome stay, clean, comfy beds, fantastic hot preasure shower, road/train not a bother to us (windows double glazed). Hosts Pip & husband super lovely and very accommodating, thankyou appreciated it.

Fantastic stay with 3 young chicken in two bedroom unit. Very spacious, spa bath great with kids, no noise even at peak summer season. Air con would have been beneficial but was particularly muggy and fans available. Also some smoking areas on deck would be great if non smoking given we had to leave windows open at times. Will definitely return...well set up and comfortable stay!

Clean and tidy but needs a bit of deco to look a bit more attractive. Spa was good. A lot of dead baby cockroaches in front of our two bedroom unit and a few live ones inside the bathroom. Not a gud experience with kids who do not like insects. Cigarette ashes on the corridor Infront of bedroom beside ours. Near by shopping mall which is handy.

Easily located motel handy to both Baypark and the Mount. Friendly reception and good parking. Room had nice decor and lots of space. Clean and tidy with lovely soft towels. Nice outdoor setting in the sun. Surprisingly quiet. Value for money, will happily stay again.

Liked the spa bath in the unit. Didn’t like the smoking neighbour as his smoke entered our unit.

The property was central for our needs and as comfortable as it could be given the furnishings... we would have liked a comfy chair or two but we sat on the bed to watch the news and that was fine - we made do....The service from the owners was amazing and we appreciated that and we had clean towels every day...

I liked everything about the property the room was big and spacious
