I emailed support twice asking about check in and never heard back. We were not aware that the whole hotel would be shutdown with check in being at 2pm. I emailed asking before our stay if we could check in before 2, if we knew this was not possible we would have stayed elsewhere. We ended up missing our booked tours on Waiheke Island which was a shame.

This is a very unpleasant experience of my life. We booked Rayland through Expedia today and when we arrived to hr motel they said they don’t have the bookings and there is no rooms available. We then spoke to customer service at Expedia and they couldn’t resolve that issue and then we paid double the amount to book the Shakespeare hotel for our stay. THIS IS MY WORST EXPERIENCE EVER !!!! The rooms are unclean, aircon isn’t working. The lights are not working, there is no hot water in the shower. The toilet have poo stain on the toilet which wasn’t cleaned before we came in. There is no phone to call the staff members, I have all the photos if you need. My family/friends have been using Expedia for all the bookings but I am going to recommend to stop promoting Expedia and booking through you because it was such a pathetic experience. NEVER BOOKING THROUGH EXPEDIA EVER AGAIN !!!

you have options for the same price.
Auckland was the last leg of our trip and this was the worst hotel we stayed. Our room was more like an attic and I hit my head against low beams multiple times. The room was not completely cleaned, and the carpet must be as old as the bar.
