Had a very poor experience with the 747 Motel in Wellington who increased costs without notice (see my review). Needed a last minute change of accommodation for my wife and I when we arrived at 12.30 in the morning from Australia. This motel was wonderful and easy to deal with. They were welcoming and left the room unlocked and lights... More

Although we arrived early and wanted to leave our bags there until later the management without hesitation showed us to our room where we had time to make a cup of tea from the excellent selection of provided drinks before heading off into town. Mana Motel is ideally situated and almost adjacent to Mana railway Station of catching a ride... More

Don't stay here if you want to sleep !!!! The trains (freight and passenger) run all night and feel like they are coming through the room, VERY VERY VERY noisy !!! The rooms were generally tidy but when you looked slightly (and only slightly) closer - they were very dirty- bathrooms and kitchen areas!!

AAA Mana Motel is proud to be located on the outskirts of the vibrant Capital City - Wellington. To get no noise, this large family of seven would be better off staying in a country location not in a vibrant City. We note, however, this guest rated our "Location" and "Room Quality" quite highly. Which we thank you for but... More
