Ascot Oamaru Motel

Clean and tidy

Shower was very small...had trouble getting in and out and drying...though very clean I'm to

Nice place for a night. Good value

They have parking but it is very tight. Somewhat noisy as right on highway 1

room was good and clean

the trucks coming into the motel beside our room and turning around and parking up for half hour out side our room them changing drivers and doing a cheque on the truck then leaving untell the next truck turned up i will be ringing the motel as well

Not a lot.

Heat pump not working, room configuration not good. We were shifted to another room that was a little better. TV not working properly and generally not acceptable.

The bathroom facilities had been upgraded and modernised

This would have to be the worst motel I have ever stayed at. Although the bed was comfortable the overall condition of the unit was appalling. The initial arrival impression was of broken seating, BBQ on top of table & other material adjacent to the entry. Entry to the unit hard to open door jamming at the bottom. Torn curtains, a window unable to open for ventilation, black stains on carpet. Although advertised and noise free single glazing doesn’t help. Being on a main road with constant heavy truck traffic the noise was constant. I initially tried to get other accommodation but the town was fully booked. Obviously used as long term accommodation for construction workers etc.

The location

The shower faced an exterior window. Even with opaque glass, a person showering can be seen at night.

The staff were very helpful. The cleaning staff were great and did a great job to supply what was needed
