Off Broadway Motel, Auckland | ConcertHotels.com

Superb

Plain, simple, clean and comfy.

Liked: Good things: If you use a walker or wheelchair, use the exterior intercom to ask to be let in at the door on the other side of the building, then go through the (small) parking lot to get to it.. The elevator is right beside that door. They had comfortable beds with proper sheeting on the FEATHER duvets; nice big bedside tables; and a drying rack on the balcony; a cabinet to hold microwave, fridge, a few plates, mugs, wine glasses, cutlery, can opener and bottle opener.Bonus: On the third floor, you can see the top of the Sky Tower on New Year's Eve, either from the exterior hallway or the fire escape (don't let the door shut or you'll be locked out!). All the windows in the hotel face east and the Sky Tower is Northwest. For those not familiar with NZ, motels always seem to provide kettle, tea and sugar bags and little milk capsules!The staff are extremely helpful and friendly!
Disliked: The website says it has a shuttle to the airport but it DOESN'T, really. You need to book with a company that has bad reviews! There is a bus stop about a three minute walk and it took one change to get to the airport. The trip took an hour. You can tap on/off with a regular credit card, as of the fall, 2024. We did that.The door into the room is very heavily sprung and won't stay open unless you hold it. Don't get locked out.Our room had no towel racks and one hook. We had to hang a towel over the shower door, leave it on the counter, or hang it on the hook. It's not going to dry on the hook, plus then there is no where to put a piece of clothing if the hook has a towel on it.

Disappointing

Liked: No interruptions, easy parking and spacious room
Disliked: It offered free toiletries but there were none. The spa bath had a hole in the outside. Offered a foot spa and also a mini bar but 2 our disappointment there was none.
