Our unit was clean with a comfortable bed and extra pillows provided on request. Good cooling fan in the room as the weather was hot. Room and bathroom facilities very dated. The motel was quiet with no traffic noise. It was easy to get around the city from this location.

I felt the property was very tired and could do with some major capital being spent on it. The bed was ok and things were functional but generally it needs investment and a lot of updating. The lady on reception was very welcoming and pleasant.

It was not a great stay but not much to complain either. Things that could be improved would be availability of the pool (the one evening where we really needed the pool, it was already closed). For the shower they provided little sachets of shampoo, but no body wash. The shower cell is rather tight, and the shower head was mounted too low for a tall person like me. The smoke alarm was mounted in the bed area which IMHO is not quite fitting the standard, and its blinking can be irritating. The curtains were not fully light blocking, so we could not darken our room to our needs from outdoor lights. We probably will go there again if we have business in the region.

I had a good experience in this hotel, very friendly staff. We really enjoyed the kitchen as we prepared our breakfast, it has everything you’d need to fix any meal. We also like the swimming pool and the closeness to public transportation and the mall. The only downside was the “broken” signal to wifi, but no big deal for us as we had data on our cellphone. We definitely would come back again!

Affordable accommodation in Royal Oak
I stayed two nights at Dukes Midway Lodge because I had meetings taking place nearby. It was perfectly adequate as a place to stay. The bed, bathroom, kitchen, wifi and parking were in line with the room pricing. The location was nearby Cornwall Park which had many wonderful hikes - including One Tree Hill. If you need budget accommodations with parking in the Royal Oak area in Auckland, this property will do the job.

We have stayed at this property before and have been happy with our rooms but this time around was very disappointing. Our particular room was becoming run down, eg curtains coming off the railing due to hardware being broken, could barely open the door to start with as very stiff, decor/bathroom just simply run down and not sure if dishes/cutlery are washed after each guest but some of ours was dirty. Apologies for an unhappy review but the room simply was below average

The pool chapped like a guitar was ok but not clean. The room was upstairs and the stairs was outside and not covered and had damage to it the room was clean but paint was pealing of the skirting board and a board on the wall was covering a area that was hiding a water problem so the pipes was dripping and it was a constant noise when the person next door was having a shower. Room was cleaned every day and bed made fresh towels put out, that was very nice
