Having stayed at numerous hotels and motels near the airport, the Ventura is an absolute standout. Spacious rooms, reasonable prices, extremely helpful and friendly staff, free breakfast and internet (using computers in lobby), free parking for 14 days - even a bath tub. Every other hotel/motel has been pretty awful - even the Jet Inn, once good, is now going... more

The free shuttle from the airport and back to it in the morning was very good. We used this hotel as a rest place for some hours between flights. The late night reception desk was efficient so we could have a rest before the flight in the morning. Breakfast was good. Despite being near a busy highway, the hotel was... more

This was a great airport hotel. Very good value for money! The complimentary breakfast was excellent - very clean and scrumptious. The pick up and drop off to/from airport was also a very good facility - convenient and hassle free. The room was very nice with air conditioning and other basic requirements. They also had free wi-fi in the common... more

Booked one night at Ventura Inn as our international flight came in late at night and our domestic flight home was the following day. Free airport shuttle service was quick and easy. Requested a late checkout at time of booking via email and enquired at front desk on arrival but was told would need to ask in the morning ...... more

This hotel ticked all the boxes for us - close to the airport, free shuttle, free breakfast and a surprisingly comfortable bed. But...keep in mind that it is an airport hotel, so if you're expecting luxury, pampering and lots of mod cons, then you won't like it. But if you are after something for a one night stay that's convenient... more

One night airport stopover en route from Christchurch to Sydney. Arrived late after delays but we let the hotel know. The shuttle had too many people waiting, luckily we got a seat but quite a few did not. We had booked two rooms for 5 adults but were given a studio type room with a double bed and small sofa... more

we arrived at midnight so this was great as it was close to the airport, the room had 2 double beds (there were 4 of us) 24 hour check in, continental breakfast, I would recomment this place for a late arrival, it was a good place to have a sleep before taking off on our holiday. more

Airport pick-up works exactly as explained on the website. Check-in was efficient; room was practical for an overnight stay. The room was clean, bed ‘ok’ and bathroom adequate. Don’t expect too much for breakfast though. The choice is somewhat limited with items being of poor quality. The price makes it attractive and it is certainly better than camping out in... more

Stayed here twice in August 2009. Once before an early flight to Vanuatu, and then on my way back to Wellington. They pick you up from the airport and drop you back off. Free wireless internet and computer terminal internet in the lobby. Free breakfast...eat all the muesli and pastries and juice you want. Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are... more
