Guest Reviews

• Julie (5/5): NA - Location was good for event we attended Toilet did not flush efficiently
• Michelle (7/5): - It was very reasonable. A good place to stay for a night. Thank you.
• Calais (10/5): -
• Burgess (10/5): Loved it and if I come back I will stay here all the time - Affordable, nice, clean and cozy. Very good privacy
• JAMES (7/5): Very nice place to stay. - The plumbing fixtures were not ideal.
• Laura (10/5): Overall very happy with the stay. - Nice and quiet, clean and helpful staff. Not enough room on benchtop with the rice cooker there. Bending down to the cutlery etc.
• Dylan (8/5): Very affordable for what you get. Lovely stay -
• Emily (8/5): -
• Te Rehutai (7/5): -
• Peter (9/5): -
• Raewyn (10/5): Highly Recommend - Very clean, tidy & modern. The host was very accomadating. I highly recommend this motel.
• Electrical Services Ltd (6/5): adequate, but tired and noisy fan - Cheap Only one mirror. Bathroom was ensuite to twin bedroom when main bed was in the main living area. Had to disturb children to use the bathroom at night. very soft bouncy mattress that felt over used. Very rattley fan in bathroom.
• Martín (7/5): Pretty good place to stay, would recommend! - Great location, between uni and city centre, right next to Awatea park which is very nice. Good price, affordable, several unit size options. Staff was super friendly, took care of the bin every day. Beds are great with the sheet heaters. Hot pump works very well. TV very modern and nice, 4K, all the apps. Good wifi speed. Kitchen/oven was super old but worked a treat. Taps in bathroom and kitchen were old and uncomfortable to use, hot/cold are separate so you freeze or burn your hands. Kitchen with very few accessories, missed sponge, wooden board, things like that. No dishwasher, washing dishes is not great due to small sink size and position of taps. An air fryer would be a good addition if you want to cook something quick if you don’t want to use the kitchen/oven. All small things, easy to improve.
• JAMES (6/5): Very pleasant stay in a secure parking environment. - The comfortable bed. The hot water fawcet in the kitchenette that required several attempts to close fully. The draft that would blow the shower curtain onto one's self during a shower.
• Crosswell (10/5): -
• Blair (9/5): -
• Crosswell (10/5): Great experience - Location was fabulous! Has a nice park beside it you can explore! The staff were very lovely and very prompt answering questions etc

• Helen (8/5): Great hotel, lovely staff who remember me and make my stays memorable. - Lovely hotel and staff! Highly recommend. I like everything! But if I could have lite milk - instead of full cream - that would make it perfect!
• Bullick (10/5): Totally satisfied, would book again. - Fully equipped facilities, great value for money
• Jordan (8/5): - Nice little rooms, had everything that we needed to facilitate us over our 4night stay, nice location & great value for money. The gap under the shower door is big, which floods the bathroom floor in no time. Shower water is very slow draining as well.
• Jane (9/5): Overall very nice room and staff and would definitely stay again. Great location as well. - Very comfortable room, opened onto a sunny outdoor space that had a park outlook away from the main road so it was quiet. Obviously an older building but room was very clean and well presented. Bed comfortable with crisp white sheets. Heat pump which made the temperature comfortable. Able to park car right outside room. Good shower. Staff very pleasant. Kitchen bench was very small and could not get freeview TV as it was not set up.
• Sharma (7/5): It was nice stay for the short break - It was good value for the money paid. Easy access and no hassle

• Wee Kiat Nicholas (8/5): Better than we had expected. - The unit was really big and spacious. Bathroom was nice and well furnished with a proper shower curtain. The beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. The pantry/dining area was also well stocked and the hotel provided free milk as well. The air conditioning works well too. Decent location, short drive to the city center. Entrance to motel can be easy to miss when driving, especially at night. Window in bathroom is translucent frosted glass, perhaps consider installing a curtain or making it opaque for privacy reasons.
• Keith (10/5): The staff are very warm and friendly. We will definitely be back. - Perfect location! All rooms are on the ground floor, so it’s really convenient. Parking is easy and hassle-free.

• Robert (8/5): -
• Mel (4/5): Not up to standard. - Location and the room was spacious. 2 bedrooms, bathroom and living/kitchenette It was not clean. Dirty cutlery in draws. Shower and shower curtain was gross. Face cloth shoved in the armchair cover. Old food packets under beds.
• Lobban (5/5): Basic average units. - Close proximity to CBD, Terrible paint work around skirting boards in main area and bathroom, was on flooring and walls. Ice box in fridge so iced up could not use it. Could not find tray that had kitchen sink plug, tea towel and scrub brush until basically checking out was on top of fridge pushed right to the back. Only 2 glasses and 2 cups, but unit sleeps 3 people could not offer a guest a glass! Cheapest toilet paper offered, used the 1 1/2 rolls in unit. No tissues in units. Cheaply nailed up internal door to next unit. Needs renovation.

As with my last stay, the staff were friendly and the room was impeccably clean.

Probably an easy fix.
