Booking made over phone for room for 2 staying 2 nights Dec 30 & 31st 2021, upon arrival for check in find no booking had been recorded. No COVID questions asked no Passport request!!! They did accommodate us with a ground floor unit which was filthy, windows, blinds, shower blocked so water backed up, had to wash dishes before use. GROSS Next door unit was emergency housing, felt there was no privacy, very uncomfortable. Staff came to us on second day asking us to move to a different unit as they had obviously double booked the room, How Rude. Definitely will not be staying here ever again

We needed to stay on the North Shore for a night during a recent road trip, and chose Anzac Court after looking through TripAdvisor reviews. We booked a deluxe studio unit. We arrived at 2.40pm and checked in. We were in unit 4, with a car park outside. $189 for a night which was a fair price given we were in Auckland. The office lady was friendly. The unit was pretty small, but it had everything we needed. It was nicely appointed and very clean. There was a four-slice toaster, which was great as normally motels have two sliced ones. We make toast for our breakfast when we’re on a road trip. There were some toiletries that we were invited to take away with us, including a toothbrush/small toothpaste set and shaving kit. A nice touch. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a king sized bed. Would definitely stay here again if we’re wanting to stay on the North Shore.

Queen bed suite with tea/coffee facilities plus microwave. Plates and cutlery plus electric jug. BUT, no sink or bench space. Sole taps in small bathroom hand basin. Impossible to fill the electric jug and ludicrous trying to wash plates, despite provision of tea towel and detergent. No microwave bowl or suitable container. Clean, but 3 lightbulbs failed and required replacement. TV temperamental. Very limited storage. Heat pump in bedroom corner - no lounge heating. Cost was moderate but poor value for such an inadequately equipped unit. Not recommended unless desperate.

Friendly reception, but half way through a renovation - should come at a discount

We got a Grabeone deal to this hotel, which has been rebranded as The Carnmore. It was over $330 for two nights and the photos looked lovely. In fact it is all in 50/50 mid major repair with cracked and peeling shared spaces, hilarious basement 'gym' facility with 3 pieces of rusty equipment and a shared shower open to the room with no lock on the space! Our bedroom was warm, dry and comfortable though, and mostly refurbished. However it was oddly unfinished with cracked door to the bathroom, no shower door or towel rails. And it's really not a 'studio' as it doesn't have cooking facilities, just the usual hotel kettle and small fridge, microwave and a toaster. The wider space smells mouldery due to sodden hessian on the bank where they're trying to get things to grow combined with the rotten carpet throughout the main halls and old rooms that are being re-done. It is also on a main road, with mostly views of either the street or car park. So just be aware it's not a cosy hideaway. Great walking distance to Takapuna Centre though. And as said was warm, dry and friendly. I just don't think they should be charging that much for something that is in such a transitional state. We felt a bit let down as it was a 10th wedding anniversary treat for us. Not to worry - warm and dry plus Olympics on tap did us alright in the end :)
