Good for a night

Stayed here just for one night to attend a concert at Villa Maria Winery. Good basic room with kitchenette and large bathroom. Clean and tidy, with comfortable bed, and in quiet area. On-site parking. Would stay again if attending another concert, easy walking distance to Villa Maria.
Good place for airport stopover

We stayed here two nights within a few days of each other. When we arrived at international arrivals (after 36 hours straight travelling), at approx. 10AM we got a rather rude response. The immediate response was that check in was 2PM and did we want our luggage picked up! I said no, we required our luggage and ourselves picked up. We understood there may be a wait but had nowhere to go and we too tired to do anything else. The free shuttle did arrive and the driver was very pleasant. We arrived at the motel, after dropping a guest at domestic departures, and lo and behold our room was ready and the reception was quite warm. We know that rooms are not always ready, and we fully understand we may have to wait, but instead of âcheck-in is at 2PMâ one could say âyou are welcome to come over and we will try to have your room ready as soon as possibleâ. Having said that, the reception is very small and there is not room for even a single chair so if the room were not ready I am not sure what one would do! In spite of the initial turn off, everything after that was terrific. The unit was spotless, bedding excellent, lots of room. One night we had a one bedroom with a queen bed and the living room had a twin. There was a nice sized shower in the bathroom. The second night we had a twin room. Both were very large, had a table and chairs, kitchenette and two recliner chairs. The hotel offers free park and fly for 10 nights â we did not use this service but seems to a very good alternative to other options. We were very happy with the place, but have to say that the initial phone conversation had us very concerned and it was completely unnecessary! Honesty, the first words to anyone with a North American accent arriving at international terminal (who would almost ways have been travelling for many, many hours) should not be so negative. The motel offers free WIFI (500 mg. but you can get another log in) but it is very sporadic and very unreliable.
Very Disappointing

Booked a room online for 1xQueen. On arrival the room had 1xQueen in lounge and a single bed also a seperate bedroom with 1xQueen bed. Room was very hot no air-con. Pulled sheets back on the bed in the bedroom and found sheets had previous visitors hair all over the sheets, absolutley disgusted. Spoke to reception, they apologised stating the housekeeper had only been with them a week, not really a good enough excuse it should never had happened. They changed the sheets for new ones. We were unfortunatly committed to stay. Will not stay here again. had to have two fans and the room ceiling fan working continually as the room was stuffy and hot. Yes its convenient to Airport but that is the only thing in its favour.
Airport hotel in a reasonable location

I have mixed feelings about this hotel.
I booked this hotel because it claimed to be an airport hotel with free transfers that are available 24/7.
Our flight arrived in close to midnight as I had forewarned the hotel. I then tried ringing the hotel repeatedly for the free shuttle. No one answered despite the numerous attempts at contact that I made.
I eventually gave up and we had to catch a taxi. Due to roadworks and the poorly signposted entrance, the poor taxi driver then drove around for close to 1/2 an hour without charging us any extra, to reach the entrance to the hotel despite the fact that the hotel is reportedly only 4 minutes away.
When we arrived and I mentioned this to the guy at reception, he did not respond.
Our experience after that however was very favourable.
The sleep quality, despite the location on a main road, was good. The beds were comfortable.
The lady, the next morning (who I assume was the owner) was friendly, obliging and very kind as was the Samoan gentleman who drove the shuttle bus to the airport. The cleaning ladies were all very helpful and patient.
I would still recommend this hotel as it was close to the airport and pretty good value.
Good overnighter

We chose this hotel as it was close to the airport, and we didn't intend going into the city. It was very clean and spacious with enough kitchen equipment to make a meal if you were so inclined! Beds were comfortable and the shuttle to and from the airport a bonus. Not much in the vicinity, though there are two restaurants, a bakery, pharmacy and convenience store.
