“The location is a practical jump-off point, close to both the motorway and the shops of Otara and Papatoetoe; inside, look for recent renovations like fresh tiling around the bathroom basin. It's a quiet spot with safe parking, and I appreciated the human touch from the cleaning staff. For straightforward stays, this option ticks the boxes.”
