Hotel di Glenfield

I stayed for 1x night for a work trip and really enjoyed it. Or though i was only at the motel from about 8pm that night and checked out early the next morning i was super impressed. Im not sure why but i didnt expect much as we normally stay at the bigger hotel chains for work but i was super pleasantly suprised. The room was large and spacious, warm, cozy , nice big sofa to huddle up on and watch tv. I am gutted i couldnt take advantage of the spa bath as i ran out of time, but i would definately recommend Aristotles :)

Avoid this place like the plague. I booked the “suite cabin” for three nights and although the bed was very comfortable and the reception team were really nice there is nothing else going for this “Hotel”. From the moment i stepped into the room i was hit with the overwhelming smell of musty air. I immediately opened the A/C cover to find what appeared to be 3 years of dust buildup. I reported to the reception and was advised that it would be cleaned in the morning and to my surprise, upon returning to the room at 5:30pm it had not been done and the room had not been serviced at all. The room was dirty with mould around the bathroom skirting, dirty hand/finger prints all over the walls, all of the crockery/cutlery and glassware had to be washed as they were all still un-clean, one if the bath towels had makeup on it, the a/c was filthy, the coffee table still had sticky stuff all over it from a spilled drink and there were spider web’s hanging from the bedside lamps. When i sent an email to ask if the rooms were serviced daily (as my room was not cleaned at all) i was told that i had the only key for the room, hence why the room was not cleaned, and was asked to leave the room unlocked so that the room could be cleaned. I’m sorry, what?.. The internet is the worst ever, constantly dropping out and for the three minutes that you do have a connection you cant even load a 1 minute Youtube video as it will just keep stopping, and then eventually drop out where you will have to reconnect again.. ughhh. The bar (on the hotel ground’s overlooking the Pool) was apparently a completely separately owned business and way over priced. A chicken Caesar Salad will set you back nearly $30 and a beer will cost you $15. These are prices that you would pay in a 5-Star hotel not a shabby motel bar. The owner of the bar was outside drinking with his “buddies” and when the bar had just closed 2 minutes earlier, and I attempted to get one drink, i was told that i could not be served as the bar had closed. I asked why the gentleman standing next to me was able to order a round of drinks for he and his friends, i was told that “he is the owner”. Righto! Great look Mr. Owner!! Stay away from this place, there is plenty of better places in the area and really good air bnb’s which is where i ended up.

I was disappointed in my stay at this hotel. While it’s location is convenient to many things it’s nearly impossible to find parking nearby. There is a small amount of parking in the basement but not enough for even a small fraction of total guests. Finding street parking in this area is a nightmare especially while local schools are in session. Our room was small but otherwise okay. Sadly the shower in our bathroom was very difficult to use without flooding the entire place. Some glass partitions or better fitting shower curtains were definitively needed. Our stay was also disrupted by ongoing construction noise from an adjacent building site. Not the hotel’s fault but annoying nonetheless. This facility clearly has a marketing deal with nearby Goodside. Goodside was hyped as ”an exquisite collection of Auckland’s finest boutique food and beverage restaurants - one of Auckland’s more delectable dining destinations.” So based on the hotel’s recommendation we braved the rain and went to check it out. It was neither delectable or even open in most cases. The best thing on offer was a Subway franchise. Some of the restaurants may have been open during the day but the place was dead in the evening. We were literally the only potential customers in the place. I don’t expect Goodside will survive much longer and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I also think it’s bad form that Quest endorsed it so favorably.

We had the most amazing experience staying at Fernz. We booked last minute and the manager was so accommodating. The room was so beyond our expectations and was lovely and clean. Such a great location and we loved exploring Birkenhead. Literally planning a trip back and won’t stay anywhere else in Auckland from now on!

We had booked a double suite at this lodge,but on the morning of our reservation my partner woke up really unwell.I phoned Ted the manager & he was so understanding & kind & didnot charge us for our room.The management of this lodge are excellent & I look forward to staying with them next time .

I have visited hotels every 3 weeks for a few months now and this is definitely the best one yet for the size and price. We were in the family room with our son and were very happy with the toiletries provided and the cleanliness. The beds were very comfortable which is a must, as someone with a disability. The staff were pleasant and professional. Shower could've been a tad cleaner overall, but I'll certainly be back again soon. Thank you :)
