Best Western BK's Pioneer Motor Lodge

We stayed at this hotel for one night and it served its purpose since we were leaving the next day and it was close to the airport. Somehow there was not a very secure feeling about the place. I could hear voices outside when individuals passed by. The room was equipped with a fridge and utensils. The front desk representative secured a room very quickly for us even though we arrived earlier than the check in time. There were no elevators and luggage would have to be carried up staircases. I asked if we could get a room on the ground floor to avoid hauling luggage around. They willingly changed our rooms for us. less

Yea, it is close to the airport and serviced by the Yellow Bus, but I would try somewhere else next time. I waited until after I had stayed a 6+ NZ "motor lodges" before writing to get an idea of comparisons. Clean, friendly, but a little dark and cramped inside. Internet was non-existent - would not stay connected on either laptop or either phone. Overall OK but not a 5 - it's a stretch for a 4.. less

The hotel is average. It is not unclean. But two things are terrible. First of all, the wifi is the perhaps the worst I have experienced in a hotel in years. This is a serious problem as I had work to do while here. I ended up having to go to another nearby hotel and explain the problem and use theirs. Second, the door has no secondary lock so you cannot lock the door while you are inside. As there is also a visible gap around the door the security does not feel good. You are only a few meters from a major road here - in not the best of neighborhoods - so it is not comforting. There are other major chain hotels around here. I suggest opting for one of those. less

The motel is right on the highway. There is a lot of traffic noise. There is no AC. You choose either to open the window, and get some air circulation, and endure the noise. The ceiling is low. If yo turn on the ceiling fan, be sure you don’t raise your hand. We have one queen bad. Our substantial room rate did not include breakfast. The furniture are simple and austere. They put us on the second floor. No elevators, and no help with the luggage. Not worth what I paid for. There are plenty better accommodations around. less

Great location for the airport and if collecting/ dropping off campervan. The motel offers free airport drop off. Rooms were spacious and lovely and clean. Staff are friendly. Good in room amenities. Only reason have marked it as a 4 and not a 5 is it was a little noisy Times but this was mainly due to having a noisy person above us. Would recommend staying. less
