KlarisNew ZealandNice rooms, close to Westfield.
The office hours on the website do not match the times they are open.
Site said 8am, sign on door is 9.30am. That’s a big problem for an early morning arrival.
VivienneNew ZealandThe shower was amazing!
Irene ZaraAustraliaPerfect choice for train travellers.

Questions about Golden Star Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Golden Star Motel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Golden Star Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Golden Star Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Golden Star Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Golden Star Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Golden Star Motel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Golden Star Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
