Guest Reviews

Hayley (6/5): -
Mary (8/5): - The exit onto a busy road
Karen (8/5): -
Rainham (6/5): - Room was tidy staff was amazing
Angelica (8/5): The bed was so comfortable and the shower was heavenly - We had breakfast at another location We were very satisfied with everything
Amy (7/5): Was here for a sports tournament, location was great, staff helpful and room was comfortable - Clean with comfortable beds and very helpful staff We booked as we had been told it had a thermal heated swimming pool by friends that had stayed there the year before. The pool however was not heated only the hot tubs were heated. The kids were disappointed on not having the heated swimming pool
JODY (7/5): - Always the mineral pool The change in use off mineral usually like a morning dip and during day while staying but unfortunately can't now .
Graeme (6/5): Comfortable enough for just sleeping. - Great location close to eateries and shops and on the river walk path Parking is not ideal and the carpets are old and don’t look clean. The rooms need an update and the bathroom is cramped and also needs an update.
Petko Yovin (4/5): Разочарование - Харесвами мястото, И наличието на спавъв всеки апартамент Спа басейнът работи с ограничено време, няма котлон за готвене.
Daniel Maxwell (3/5): Disappointing - Close to town It feels old and unloved. The shower is cramped to get in and out of due to the proximity to the toilet.
Golding (5/5): - I asked and requested in my booking my usual room that Ive stayed in the past but didn't get it and then when I asked at reception when I checked in the guy gave me no answer to me asking again for that particular room. Then the room i got could do with some needed repairs especially in bathroom area.
Bevan (8/5): Good - Helpful staff and nice spa pool Bathroom needs better ventilation- fan not working great.
Shuai (8/5): -
Christina (7/5): Clean, close to where we needed to be and private - Location and cleanliness pole in the middle of the hot pool. Old - needs an update
Dianne (8/5): - The Moter inn is an older place but it is clean and tidy and well worth the money 👍
Mika (7/5): It was comfortable enough - The personal spa Being on the corner
Robin (8/5): -
Katherine (7/5): -
Lisa (6/5): Fine for a quick stay - Nice to have the private hot tub Noisy
Serah (7/5): Short but sweet time - The room location was good with a little one so it was that busy. The private thermal bath was nice Comfortable beds, good sheets, plenty of towels. The room wasn't very well lit even with all the lights on. It was hot with only fans upstairs so kids were very hot. Kitchen was small and cramped.
Richie (8/5): -
Hinehopu (10/5): Would definitely stay again - Personal spa in our rooms Tidiness

Elena (7/5): -
Timmings (4/5): -
Scott (10/5): Great stay, friendly staff and feels safe. - Liked everything. Rooms both nice and clean. Always enjoy staying here. It’s a shame the thermal pools are now on a timer and empty themselves but I see how it makes sense as they are close to your neighbours
Andre (8/5): -
Janice (5/5): Handy location, walls to thin & heard next door tv all evening - Comfy bed Shower dripped, old and worn
Bruce (6/5): All right - :) the thermal pool wasn't in our room, as picture on website looked like it, just a little spa thermal thing with no jets I wasn't really impressed with that but over all it was passable nothing really special about the place, a deadly entrance and exit Bed was hard, No perk coffee,!! owner was helpful, but is a old motel, rooms have been upgraded, no instructions on how to use the TV in room booklet
Trevor (10/5): -
Mika (5/5): -

Bennice (10/5): -
Jeannie (8/5): -
Melissa (9/5): Great stay would stay again - Great place, the swimming pool was lovely kids enjoyed and the spa pool in the room was lovely to relax in. The rooms had everything we needed for our stay and the location was very handy to everything. The arrangement of the cupboards was bit strange but that just me - picky hahaha
Arapeta (6/5): -

goulterpet (7/5): -
Graeme (10/5): - Great Service, loved the old but well looked after 70 style. Would stay again anytime Nothing
Linda (9/5): -
Rebecca (7/5): Great quick holiday, fun pool and spa bath - Great pool. Heaps of room for a family of 4 Not to many power outlets. To far away from the bed
Huriana (8/5): -
Andy (8/5): -
Belinda (8/5): Highly recommended staff are much accommodating. Well done team keep up the good work. - Location is great close to everything you needed.
Rowena (9/5): - Clean, spacious for family of 5 which included 3 teenagers. Good cooking facilities.
Wickus (10/5): - Extremely friendly staff, cleaners did an amazing job, easy access
Lili (6/5): -
Setsuko (3/5): This motel is not cheap and not good enough - Bathroom was not clean and sink has a lot of cracks and kitchen's tools are very poor.
Pam (5/5): My stay was cut short by an emergency and I had to leave two days early. The owner was very kind. - The beds were very comfortable. Very old buildings which need an upgrade. The shower was a bit dirty.
Thi Quynh Nga (9/5): -
harrison (10/5): Relaxing in thermal pool was beautiful - Pool and thermal pool
Julie (4/5): REVAMP YOUR UNITS! - ??? Within a 15 year period; this is the fourth time we have booked Bennetts for our accommodation. Unfortunately, each time we have stayed, nothing ever seems to be done, or updated. The units are needing work! They are tired out dated. Hot pool in units need a good scrubbing out. Dents in walls & doors, beds uncomfortable - the list goes on...
Hiria (10/5): IIt was a good lay over for a couple of days to do what I needed to do - Location was close to what I need and to where I needed to go. The thermal pool . Even though the weather was tricky I at first had second thoughts about getting in, but when I did I enjoy it and slept well afterwards. Thermal pool filled up later then what Iwould of wanted it to, because early September is bit cold windy and wet to wait to long for it to fill up. From after 5pm till 7.30ish to fill up. .
JILLIAN (5/5): Affordable accomodation if you’re just after a place to sleep for a night. It had a school camp feel - The motel room was very spacious and had a great layout for travelling with children. The room was very tired, old and outdated. It smelt burnt inside. The bedding was clean but the room was not clean (dusty, stains on the walls, peeling / old paint, no extraction fans in the bathroom).
Whai-Ora (8/5): -
Heather (4/5): Great location, quiet and comfortable for a basic experience. - Location was ideal. The beds and unit ere clean. It really needs a good investment in it to bring it up to basic standards oc appearance. The hot tub needs fresh painting, the bathroom has bare paint where the toilet cistern has been replaced. It was a reasonable price but needs to be freshened up. The ‘hot tub’ wasn’t available until 6pm and was cold in the morning, which was clearly written on notices, but it wasn’t what I’d expected.
Mike (7/5): Great - Lo cal great , thermal private pool with the room. Decor upgrade, more info pertaining to the region
Don (5/5): - Clean..Awesome staff...Single beds are great out dated rooms and worn....Double bed all springs noisy every time you move
Tamera (10/5): Fantastic motel with caring staff - The private thermal pool was fantastic. The staff were very accommodating to our family situation and a constantly changing plan. Fantastic location close to the hospital. The sliding door to the bathroom kept catching people's fingers when it was closing.
Hatchard (6/5): -
Glenn (2/5): -
Mahara (7/5): -
Anna (8/5): Very pleasant and relaxing with nice outdoor pool and warm thermal spa - Noisy road traffic
Nicki (8/5): - The cost is
William (8/5): -
Johns (8/5): It was great and nice and comfortable - It was handy to where we needed to go ,great it had a cold swimming pool as it was hot .
Lynda (10/5): Excellent, service was fantastic. - Comfortable and easy to locate Laundry wasn’t included in the price of stay
Dawud (8/5): -
Serene (10/5): - Everything was amazing There was nothing to dislike
Vy (9/5): - Easy location and amenities Slight smell in bedroom possibly sulfur
Closes on Tour (8/5): Our room was ideal, we were comfortable and having parking right outside our room was great - Well set out motel with swimming pool. Our room was comfortable and having a private thermal pool was a bonus. While the hotel is dated, our bed was comfortable and was roomy. Updated fixtures, e.g. kitchen and bathroom cabinets,
Lisa (7/5): - Great location n rooms were well sized A bit run down n spa pool was dirty n in need of upgrade.
Natalie (6/5): Lots of good points dont go just for the thermal or you'll be disappointed - The pool was lovely and clean and location was great noisy at night but thats the fun of being close to town. Room was spacious Netflix was a bonus! Very very dated the whole.faciltiy needs a freshen up but the thermal pool in particular was a disappointment.... very very aged tiles cracked and broken and lots missing paint all peeled off not inviting at all
Opal (10/5): -
MCCARTNEY (8/5): All was good. A little Maintenance will go along way - Pool and thermal pool.
Thazin (9/5): -
Tamihana (9/5): 9 1/2 out of 10. Will come back with family again - Close yet far enough.. Very central, comfortable living area away from home. With 3 children, there was alot to beable to do and see. Small minor things, fence broken, so couldnt allow full access for children as we were close to a 'Main' road. Other than this, would have been a 10/10.
Conrad (10/5): - Good price. Clean. Location close to blind corner
fei (5/5): -
sunny (10/5): -
Helen (8/5): Family Summer Holiday - Big pool was lovely and kids could have lived in there. The private spa pool in our room was deeeeeelish; very restorative and calming after a days walking about. Staff are lovely and helpful too Entrance/exit was on a busy corner. Not terrible but confident driver skills needed. Decor a little aged it was all clean and tidy
Natty (8/5): - Have a private spa pool
Rahul (9/5): -
Kerryn (8/5): Staff were amazing comfortable stay enjoyed our time there - I enjoyed the thermal spa pool in the room The musty smell in the back room, I think a dehumidifier would be good. Maybe it’s because there’s a spa or just aged property. Shower door was also broken
Simon (9/5): - Great location, friendly staff, great unit as depicted on their website Lack of power points in master bedroom.
Neihana (10/5): Excellent - Perfect stay for me and my little family The pool was great and the thermal pool was great as well and overall good stay and staff was good very good service
Jane (5/5): - The old-fashioned bathroom with two hot and cold taps on either side is very different from the photos in the advertisement, and the old-fashioned TV is also not the same as shown in the advertisement.
Joshua Sam (8/5): -
Theresa (8/5): -
Burton (10/5): -
Anisha (1/5): -
Tania (8/5): - Staff very friendly A little run down for the value of our stay
Stacey ryan (8/5): Great stay! Good for value - I liked how they were accommodating to me for the change of dates as I booked the wrong day and the spa was a good wind down after a long day The main bed was way too hard
natalie (7/5): - The private thermal bath The ants continuesly on the kitchen ceiling, needed towel hooks and shower had a used soap bar and hair tie in it
Sara (10/5): Awesome place to stay! - Fabulous customer service, great location and lots of space
russell (8/5): Comfortable. - LEAVING.
