I got a very friendly, genuine welcome immediately upon arrival. What's great is that we got a room upgrade. The space was perfect but what's really perfect is the comfort of the bed, pillows and sheets. After a tiring day, this is what you want the most. Our unit felt really safe to stay in. It was quiet and peaceful. Really comfortable inside with the sofa even as you watch tv. The shower was awesome. I would stay again in Motel six and recommend it too.

A functional motel in the middle of Whangarei so convenient for most shops and attractions. Comfortable enough though the bathroom toilet area was quite cramped. A little bit tricky to manoeuvre out of the parking place allocated to the rear. Generally fare value though.

Felt really dirty. Upon checkin, lifted toilet seats and it had what looked like pubic hairs. So gross. Lady that came to clean it had no gloves. Got changed to another room which was nice.

Property was dated but clean and lots of room. Staff were very nice. We weren’t looking for an expensive high end place, this suited our needs quite well.

The motel room didn't have a kitchen sink, it didn't have a dish cloth to wipe down the bench, it didn't have a tea towel. I don't believe the hand basin is very hygienic for washing dishes etc. People wash their nickers in the hand basin. The walls of our room were very thin. We could hear next door talking and the TV, and when they used the shower or flushed the toilet.

Decent for a night
Decent place overall. Parking was a little tight so if you’ve got a large car it’s not amazing. Room had kitchen and some plates etc. no place to wash these up though other than the sink in the bathroom. Needs a bit of paint and some modernising.
