Sccp Weekend

Nightmarish stay, be aware of bedbugs. I stayed at this motel on business with 4 other colleagues . 

I recently stayed at Amethyst Court Motor Lodge on a business trip, but it turned out to be a complete nightmare. Little did I know that these were signs of a serious bed bug infestation.

As the night progressed, I found myself covered in painful, itchy bites. The next morning, I wanted to tell the staff , but no one was present at reception.

To add to the horror, I had to seek medical attention upon returning home, as the bites got infected and required medication. I am still recovering a week after my stay, and the experience has been distressing both physically and mentally.

On return home I contacted them regarding this issue with photo evidence .
To my disbelief they did not care, apologise or offer a refund.

I highly advise against staying at Amethyst Cour Motor Lodge. The health risks associated with bed bugs are severe, and the hotel's lack of response and concern only worsened the situation. I urge the management to take immediate action to address this infestation and improve the overall conditions of the hotel. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone and will be warning friends and family to steer clear of this establishment.

Bed Bugs from visit.  Asked for refund and was declined.

Was a tad disappointed staying at this place! Wellington being a cold place but there were no spare blankets only 3 spare pillows…. Floor and curtains were dirty and not enough soap/conditioner for 3 guests… that’s not what bugged me the most. Pay $200 and there’s not even a kitchentte(sink/water!) let alone a jug to boil water. I didn’t appreciate having to use the bathroom sink/water. Are we suppose to wash dishes in bathroom ?  

On a happier note staff member that checked us in was great and queen bed was comfortable. Single bed a little hard.

Not impressed with water situation

We booked a living space with two rooms adjoining. The Indian man double booked and offered two rooms beside each other. When we arrived the two rooms were far apart and our young children were expected to sleep in the other room. We wanted to be all together, they could t offer that. We walked away having already paying the money. The Indian man told us we would be fully refunded, we were never refunded.

Has no problem taking your money and not providing what you booked.

I didnt have great expectations of this motel but my room was clean, quiet and comfortable. What more can you ask for? I could not fault it. It was hard to cross the road outside to go get some dinner but that was not the motel's fault!

Everything i needed

Things have to be pretty atrocious for me to even write a 1 Star Review. But this place is feral. It used to be okay, having stayed here many times in the past, and also booking our Truck Drivers in here every few weeks. But oh how things have changed.

Now being used as an Emergency Housing facility, which was not advised to me on booking. Had I known it was being used for this purpose, I would have never even considered staying here. I've been burnt before.

Pulled up into a car park full of beaten up cars, and patched Mongrel Mob members swarming around the far end, and coming in and out of the building. What the Heck! They were quite intimidating as they stared me down whilst unpacking the car.

Inside the place reeks of old Curry. It's like it's oozing out of the carpet or something. It's really gross, and very overpowering. Checked In and given my Key Card.

Rooms are nicely decorated, and have a nice deep Spa Bath, Large TV, and Air Conditioning. Another positive is the excellent location. Right across the road from the Mall, and all its amenities. Also easy access to the Motorway to Wellington and also Transmission Gully.

The Linen was gross, stained and off white. Towels were threadbare and were falling apart. Only two provided - both in garbage condition. There was mould on the back of the curtains which is terrible!

Sleep - well that was not going to happen. The Family in the room directly upstairs proceeded to stomp around and swear, fight and yell at each other until the VERY early hours. All good for them to sleep all day and be up all night, but it's not fair for me to pay $160.00 to be kept awake all night. In desperation at 1am I rang the emergency number. Obviously woke the Gent up who proceeded to tell me that there really wasn't anything he could do, as he was at his home! Well that's fine - BUT I have not paid $160 for this kind of carry on. I said that this situation needed to be sorted out immediately.

I got a call 5mins later to say he had rang the room upstairs and that they would 'turn the music down'. It was turned down marginally, but within 10mins, some kind of retaliation was initiated. More forceful stomping in some very precise places.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE. It is a absolute waste of money. Kind of thought that maybe some kind of discount should have been offered given the awful night. At that point I didn't want to argue or hang around, I just wanted to get the heck out of there. Will not be subjecting our Drivers to stay here any longer. I know options are limited for accommodation in Porirua, but it is just not worth staying here.

AVOID LIKE COVID!!!

It would have been a good stay but for the workmen who thought it was a good idea to change gear and trailers around at like 1am in the morning and had a great old chat and took their time.

But i cant blame the motel so yip overall pretty good and the staff are real friendly and helpful

clean and tidy

Shower looked like it had not been cleaned in months, bed had broken wheel, advertised as queen bed was clearly a double, concierge/ owner very rude and not helpful at all would not recommend to anyone

Rude

On arrival the greeting was not welcoming, after confirmation we would have a downstairs unit we were booked upstairs, managed to get that sorted. Rooms were under par for cleanliness.shower pressure awful. Carpet old and stained, needs painting, drapes mouldy, windows dirty.The whole place needs a tidy up.will not stay here again. Not value for money.The only reason I gave two stars Is it Is handy to the mall.

Disappointed

Room was tidy but had a smell of curry in it. We arrived off the late ferry and had a reasonable sized trailer on which I had explained would be the case when I booked to which I was told that there would be plenty of room to park but on arrival at 11pm found all parks where full wasn’t empressed
