Aotea Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was at the back of the property and was spacious and quiet with undercover parking. We used the guest laundry and only paid a small amount for the dryer. . Would choose to stay here again. Fast food places are a short walk and nicer restaurants a short drive."
