Disliked: Amenities
We flew in on Saturday from Auckland for a birthday, ubered to motel, checked into a studio room to drop off 1 small overnight bag around 5.00pm. Left on uber at 5.20 for celebrations and returned at 11pm, big party next door to our room, with really loud music. Party finished at around 1am(im guessing they went out)Checked out at 0510 the Sunday am as we had a 0615 flight home.This was okay for an overnight stay however there was no towels, hand towels. We were then emailed on Sunday saying items where stolen a sofa, fridge/freezer, heater. I called Monday and spoke to a guy and informed him that none of those items where in that room on arrival not even any towels to dry our hands.. I asked why wasnt the room checked before our arrival, he said no it wasnt?? They had cameras they were checking and havent got back to me as of yet, so unsure what the outcome is..Got me a little worried if the sheets were even changed...
