Capital Lodge Motor Inn
When I booked through Expedia it included breakfast, when I went for my breakfast I was told it wasn't included. Nothing wrong with the property but I won't deal with Expedia again

Quest Petone
Parking - The parking spots are tight but secure. Parking is $15 a day, but was worgh it in Petone. The room was somewhat dated. The kitchen was a very small kitchenette, but it had a full size refrigerator.
