Good
Beds were firm and comfortable facilities clean
close to food outlets
Hotel itself is spartan but clean and quiet. Good bus and train service but a long way from downtown and tourist attractions. Discount mall nearby and shops for Indian and Muslim community. Not as safe after dark. Several bars just up the road with shouting and police sirens at night.
Ok for price, but no seating other than one stool. Plenty of room for a small sofa or lounge chair. TV didn't show local free-to-view channels. Generally clean but carpet on stairs filthy. Very comfortable bed
The property is very close to a busy road but as we only had a one-night stay and an early start to catch a plane, it didn't bother us too much.
Nice place
Room was nice but was cold. Hard to operate heat pump
Property on arrival had towels everywhere on the floor. The room we stayed in had not been vacuumed and although we stayed for 2 nights, they did make the bed and give us new towels, but still didn't vacuum. I wear glasses and even without my glasses on you could see the dirt on the carpet. Thats why my husband and I never left our luggage/bags on the floor and had to wear our shoes until we went to sleep. Plus side is the Hotel staff were nice, its just a shame that the deluxe room we paid for didn't feel "deluxe"
Too noisy and AC wasn't working, No telephone number placed in room to contact staff.
Great place & so convenient
I was able to do a late check out
Be prepared for a bit of noise from neighbouring rooms and boy racers. Not the worst by any means. Clean enough. Very handy to airport and Countdown and food markets.
Yes I stayed here 3 nights when I paid for 4! Expedia let me down! 3 palms outside are gorgeous but it ends there. Cheap and clean with pleasant staff.
Options for meals - kitchen area.
Great place to stay for the price range.
The wifi reception wasnt the greatest bad reception but overall great hotel to stay at
OK
Close to shops
The room was tidy and spacious for a family of 4. Was not expecting a fridge to be there so it was a bonus. So convenient to go to shops on foot. We were very satisfied with the lodge. The only downside we witnessed was that other guests were locked out and there was no staff at the reception. It wasn't even that late, like 6pm. No matter how many times they tried to ring the reception, they could not get though to them. Fortunately, I could help out by ringing the back reception number prigrammed in our room phone. I felt sorry for the other guests.
Motel was clean and rooms weee nice and spacious. Parking is quite tight if you have bigger vehicle.
Close to location Walking distance to Hunters Plaza Restaurants around so a very handy place to stay
Everything was nice and perfect the only thing you need you think about your lovely hotel is the entrance doors needs some change it is difficult when it is raining slippery thank you anytime I visit Auckland it will be my accomdation during my stay in Auckland nice welcome of your reception thanks see you when I come back to Auckland
Had a gret stay.
Our stay was very gud friendly staff nice motel apart from the white blinds and ours were broken alot of light came in and just no plug in our hand basin in bathroom other than that very happy
Convenient, very neat, friendly staff. It needs a lift to the next floor up.
Everything was perfect nice and easy check in and check out
Love how the area is close with the night market. Staff was so nice and lovely.
the property was nice and clean and everyone was so friendly and i would love to come back
Nice and clean
Property was in a really good location..Stayed for 2 nights with family..we will be coming back..
Room 2 was very dated and some areas were not that clean. The carpet was stained in several places and the room smelt. It was impossible to sleep as the security light was shining right into the 3 rooms at the front. The pictures didn't match the room which was disappointing. However the room did serve a purpose and was fairly cheep.
Reception was understanding and appreciative being advised of late arrival and together we worked out entry procedures.
Spotlessly clean bathroom and beds
Owner is very friendly
Cleanliness
I like that it caters for family. Close to shopping and food outlets. Easy signage and location. Don't have any dislikes about the property.
Would recommend as it’s close to the mall, very convenient to everything.
The room was clean and tidy, and was an excellent location, easy travel to airport. and city centre, 20 min drive both ways, at time of travel. But the street was popular with extra loud cars, and some loud people in the early hours of the morning. But otherwise would come back.
Generally very good. Room 1 is subjected to very bright light all night from outside. The room could do with a proper chair. Staff were very helpful.
Best
Friendly Staff, clean rooms, access to a shared kitchen
I did not get the room i paid for...did not get any compensation for a lesser room
We showed up at Three Palms lodge to find they had cancelled over booking and giving our room to someone else. They said they tried to call me but i had never gotten a call from them. The commication between the Motel and Expedia must be faulty because there was nothing in my expedia booking to suggest my booking was cancelled. We were also told we had booked seperate rooms for different nights, and that our my credit card ad declined (i was never given an opptunity to pay online)
The room was very clean. I had twin beds. Refrigerator, microwave, dishes and silverware. Lacking... a desk to sit at. They do have one tall chair to sit at the counter with. Also on site a larger kitchen and storage for each room. A coin op laundry (bring you own soap). Lots of stores and restaurant (mostly Indian food) and a McDonalds. The shopping center a block over is a huge mall with all your needs available except hardware. 5 miles from the airport make it a good stopover to and from the airport.. All that said not much to do in the area if your looking for entertainment. Price was right. A possible good spot for hostel folks who want to upgrade but also perfect for the weary road traveler I would stay here again no problem. If not available there is a place across the street with the same lay out but no kitchen to use. Both had good prices
This property is tranquil. We did not get an immediate reasonable answer from the staff while being confused with the booking fee from Expedia.
Great customer service from friendly and helpful staff. Excellent shared kitchen area with cutlery,dishes,pots,pans. Stove, microwave, toaster and lockers to store food if needed. We used this area for 1 dinner and 2 breakfasts during our stay. Rooms serviced daily. The only negative for me was that I found the internal airflow system quite noisy but when I mentioned this on check out they thanked me for letting them know and said they would look into it. To end on a good note this is definitely value for money.
I am very happy with our stay here very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay I would definitely recommend it to anyone Lisa Moe
The best thing in our room was the comfortable king size bed and pillows. The rooms are in need of refurbishment, probably the only update in the last 50 years was the addition of a heat pump. No seating in the room except for one tall stool, no hairdryer, TV only receiving Freeview channels, but not TV1 or TV2. Only kitchen items were cups, glasses, plates, cutlery, a fridge, microwave and jug in the room. But there is no tap or sink in the room to fill the jug - need to use a communal kitchen to cook and wash dishes. Room is marketed as Luxury, but not in this century.
Considering price, service and location. Three Palms was an awesome launch point before going out to explore.
Close to airport Clean and tidy
Good after hours, we arrived 3am
I love staying here it’s very clean and tidy
Did not stay for there was no one at the reception after 1 hour wait.
Lovely room, tv didn’t work very well
Very clean. House keeping done every day. Parking a little tight. Road was noisy 1 night out of 5 we stayed there. Staff were lovely. Good location for cafes, mcdonalds and right next to a shopping centre. Easy access to motorway, airport and Manukau. Would stay again.
Convenient to shops
The location is perfect for whatever one could want as far as I'm concerned. Doctors nextdoor, fast food places galore, a mall with popular shopping like Sephora, public transport close by to the train station not far away if you want to walk to the station it'll give you a great cardio work out without steep hills. Spotlessly clean. The room I was in with my 3 son's welcomed us with a nice view of the street & the opening window brought in the scents of delicious food cooking somewhere. The kitchen facilities were clean & spacious with plenty of options of using whatever you needed to cook with, you just need to have everything you need to make what you want to make or go out to eat real close by. Parking extended to the rear. The only thing I didn't like was the large rubbish skip near the entrance, but then again I didn't have to walk far to off load my trash. Would live here if I could😁
Always a pleasure, clean & quite, no hassle parking.
Communal kitchen, but you’ll need to bring your own stuff to it. Bed was awesome and nice room for price. But washing your coffee cup in the bathroom sink with your toothbrush cause there’s nothing else was different.
Bed have urinate smell did not know this until late at night where there is no one at reception. Mentioned in the morning but staff said they cant do anything about it. Did not sleep till morning because of the smell.
Great stay clean n quiet..Friendly staff
The greeting was friendly and check-in was no hassle. The room was clean and tidy, unfortunately our stay was cut short by Covid. When we had to leave within 4 hours of our stay the front desk was helpful and asked for our contact details for a credit.
TelePhone was out of order Bathroom tap was leaking somewhere There was wet carpet near bathroom door Basic TV channels Room wasnt worth $145 It suppose to be luxury room but it wasnt even basic.
The room was nice and warm throughout the night and that was without using the heater.
The lady l spoke to about leaving a key out for me as l wasn't getting to the lodge until late was very helpful and professional .
Very good
Economical in Papatoetoe.
Very clean. Comfortable king bed. Rear of building as requested. Facilities to make breakfast in the room and a big shared kitchen downstairs, which we didn't use as visiting family. Very convenient for us as family in south Auckland, handy to Manakau, but not the city centre really. Have stayed before, would stay again.
Disappointed.
I stayed two nights, room was fine overall but unfortunately I didn't receive fresh towels on day two nor was my rubbish bin collect, which overflowed.
Room was clean and had everything we needed. Carpets were quite badly stained but for the price we werent too bothered. Staff on the fromt desk were lovely. Close to amemities.
I slipped in the shower so had to lay a towel down
Generally good and priced well
Check-in was easy although the parking lot is a bit narrow to get into and park. Only one way in/out.
We stayed there for Nearly 3days. Nobody came for housekeeping for even once.
Conveniently located. Helpful staff, messy parking area
It was clean and tidy. No staff around. Motel nice but area rough
Clean and tidy the room has been refurbished the staff friendly and polite
Liked: Easily accessible, friendly check-in staff, clean Dislike: No kitchenette sink/tap etc in the room
It was close to airport which was perfect for our needs.
Close walking distance to food and shops. Renovated room
Property was ok for what I needed, could have been a little cleaner but was sufficient for the night.
Very bad experience
I did my booking in april 2019 byt when i arrived on 18th January 2020 they said they dont have my booking.it was for 2 adults n 2 teenagers n they wanted me to stay in a room with 1 double n a single bed n they will include a roller bed
Very convenient to shops & quite close to airport & transport. The carpet in front of the fridge was quite grubby & needed cleaning. The toilet seat did not align with the bowl... most off putting!
Great price and so cheap. It’s clean and tidy. I’ve stayed here earlier this year and had a good experience then. The Papatoetoe night market is literally a minute walk from the hotel. Noise carries easily in the hotel so if there are children on the same floor then you will hear them clearly. If kids don’t bother you then that’s fine. There was a child next door and it didn’t bother me but if you like peace and quiet then you do run the risk of families staying in the hotel.
Bed was super comfortable - location to amenities really handy.
Clean and tidy with very nice staff's and good location for stay
I didn’t like how our fold out couch was really uncomfortable but I liked everything else
Was adequate
We only stayed one night. Very clean and convenient for the airport.
Very Clean.
Price reflects quality of room. Carpet was stained throughout. Beds were uncomfortable and had a big mound part way down the bed. Toilet door wouldn’t close. Took a long time to get through to after hours when we arrived. Also nobody in reception when we checked out. Rubbish collection truck made a huge bang and crash at 6am. Would definitely spend the bit extra next time and get a nicer room.
Easy access to property, convenient being close to the airport. There was no toaster in the room though even though there was bread available for breakfast. Enjoyed the small continental option as a quick breakfast.
Loved how clean the place was, friendly service and always willing to help when needed.
Room nice n clean whole facilities look nice n tidy inside huge kitchen nice location close to everything shop etc
Location of the property was very unique, good, close to a lot of facilities. Dind'nt liked seeing spider in restroom.
beds are long enough for tall people! Ample car parking.
The lodge was easy to find .kept very clean and great facilities. An excellent price and easy drive to the airport.the lodge is 2mins walk from a shopping center and restaurants. The only problem we found was mabe no-one lives on site and there was an all night party going on downstairs.
The receptionist was excellent. There was painting at the time but overall it was really clean and safe. Cheers
Terrible stay, website pictures very deceiving. Dodgy people trying to sell us drugs in the car park. Motel staff no where to be found when assistance needed. Terrible wifi. Booked for 4 guests yet were provided with only 2 towels. It said 2x double/queen bed + 2 single. Was only 1 double 1 single and a couch!
Small dark room without many windows and a doctors clinic right infront of the balcony with onlookers. The carpet was old with stains.
Lovely facilities. The gardens need some tidy up.

Staff are amazing and friendly. Room is always clean and restocked. Only thing is not a great selection of channels for kids when we were in for the evening.
