Firstly, I arrived to find that I received a free upgrade - so the stay got off to an excellent start. I always appreciate being accommodated on the top level of the lodge, due to my erratic sleep pattern. All the usual things were top notch: great facilities, clean room, plenty of space, nice bathroom, relatively quiet location, handy parking, and welcoming front-office staff. I'll be back to stay in February (I'm a regular visitor).

Liked: Amenities
The parking was good and the kitchen had all that was required. My only slightly negative point is that the sink unit in the bathroom was loose, it could do with being more secure to the wall. Overall, it was a good stay and I would look to book again. Thank you

We recently stayed at Auto lodge for almost 3 weeks as our son was in Waikato hospital after an accident.. Our rooms were spotless, and nothing was too much trouble, we were even able to have our washing washed and dried for a small fee, which was a relief, not having to find a laundromat. Would definitely recommend.

Great facilities, rooms are very nice and tidy. Cleaning staff did an amazing job each day and were helpful and friendly. Also, the car park spaces were plentiful and large enough to accommodate my 4 x 4. Will stay here again without question.
