Yates Park Motel

Location: Most reviews highlight proximity to the airport and convenience shops, with some noting a central position for Auckland.

Staff were incredibly nice but the room was very stuffy and boring. The lighting was also very odd. Only overhead lights that were way too bright. No AC or central air to keep air flow. There’s a fan in the room but the dials aren’t in English or have symbols showing functions. Neighborhood didn’t feel safe enough to keep doors open. Bedding wasn’t comfortable either. Ornate throw pillows that I didn’t attempt to sleep on. Unless I wanted an imprint resembling a doily on my face in the AM. Key to room was on a lanyard. Very unconventional place and not in a good way. Some small tweaks and it would have gotten more stars due to kind staff and clean room.
