Takapuna Motor Lodge

It had a heated pool, spa pool and was close to where I needed to be

The property was dated and in poor condition. Broken tile in the bathroom. The floor lino in front of the shower door was bubbled and raised, creating a safety and health hazard The sheets on the bed had cigarette burn stains and the room had a stale smoke smell. On arrival I was told the woman was unable to pull out and make up the sofa bed, due to her back.. I said I would happily do it as that was not only what I had ordered on line, but also rung to check the sofa did pull out, before I booked. I pulled the sofa bed out and it wasn’t difficult (this was with two compressed discs in my back) The spa pool area was dirty and in needed of a good sprucing. Over all, it was nowhere near a $215 dollar a night rental (especially when they charged an extra $20 per night for each child I had, as the price was $175 for a couple and children extra)
