    Great location and comfy beds.

    Was clean and tidy.

    My mother in law was meant to be with us and she would have struggled trying to get over the bath to have a shower. I had asked for a plastic chair for her and was told that will be sorted. She canceled on us 24hrs before we went to New Plymouth and I advised the hotel of this. So unless they changed our room I'm not sure how a plastic chair would have worked.

    Location was great

    Very noisy. No noise restrictions for the property so people came in late yelling without consequences. Suggestions would be for families to be placed on bottom level. Kids start early and sound like elephants when you are on the bottom level.

    We had two bedroom apartment which had lots of space. Had everything we needed in the room. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was really good. Pool and spa were lovely to soak in after hiking. Restaurant on site but was also walking distance to Woolworths and other eating places. Will definitely stay here again. Was able to park right out the front of our unit.

    10DalyellPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Room was roomy, clean and comfortable with parking at the door. Easy walk to the beach.

    Our room wasn’t air conditioned

    Excellent staff and comfortable and clean room

    7BakerPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Great location and easy access to the coastal walk! The staff were amazing and friendly.

    The room was a bit dated, everything was clean and tidy though.

    9MitchPosted on: 2-9-2026

    staff were very accommodating. They allowed me to bring my dog & have a late checkout.

    Bit dated, no air con but otherwise it was great. Cool 70s design

    8MiriamaPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Super friendly staff, the room was absolutely fine. Bed a little firm for me, but that's what happens when you have a fancy mattress topper at home. All the amenities available were very good. Seeing the dogs on the premise was a nice surprise as we travel with our wee girl all the so good to know. Would recommend and stay again.

    Couldn't find a car park when I got home late (before midnight) at night, and being alone, didn't want to park out on the road. Managed to squeeze in close to reception so just got lucky there. I get it, it's Saturday night and your full.

    8NatashaPosted on: 2-8-2026

    Great space in room, location was good. Great for a weekend stay

    Bathroom was outdated and disappointed they didn't do a hot buffet breakfast even though they said all rooms were fully booked at the hotel that weekend

    10UtePosted on: 2-5-2026

    Always enjoy staying at the Auto Lodge. We were a larger group and had dinner there. Food was excellent and service spot on.

    Pleasant

    Draft around door and ranchslider. Main door frame broken çrumbling. Can See light in dark around door frame.

    7CatherinePosted on: 2-4-2026

    Good

    The shower had black mould on it. It clearly needed a proper clean.No staff at reception at 10am check out so just had to leave the key and couldn’t pass on above feedback

    9AndreaPosted on: 2-2-2026

    We loved the friendly staff, location and quiet room

    9CarolynPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Very close to everything and the rooms are a good size. Nice a quiet which is great.

    A couple of the staff weren't particularly friendly and made you feel you were annoying them. One staff member was quite rude to me when I didn't know what the tower block was. Your front of house are your ambassadors so I feel they need to either change their attitude or find more friendlier staff.

    Great location

    Main bed mattress sunken in middle. Very difficult with a fragile back.
