At first I was skeptical of the motels because of the movies, but the couple that manage this motel was very friendly, the room very clean and neat, although the motel it is like a 70's motel is very neat and does not look old nor bad conditions, great stay. I was a bit worried because there are glass doors directly to the parking lot, but New Zealand it is a safe place so nothing happened.
It is near the Aquarium but not so near from the downtown.
But in general good experience if you have to be at the aquarium early, this is definitely a strong choice
