- Mike (7/5): - Room is looking somewhat tired; quite noisy, the main road outside is a magnet for hoons at the weekend; couldn't enjoy a cup of coffee before I left as the milk provided was off, but I was told no one else had complained.....
- Saunders (10/5): - very clean and modern rooms spacious easy access to the pool and spa kids enjoyed all facilities including the selection of board games maybe just the cleaning staff could be a little less loud in the mornings our room was right next to washouse and storage room and got woken up rather early every morning to staff arriving and banging around in there

- Todd (9/5): Great short stay in Tauranga - Great Motel in Tauranga, comfy beds, very clean, block out curtains, good water pressure in the shower, Sky TV - Happy customers. Will be back for sure. Liked everything, just be aware it is next to a main road so a little road noise is to be expected, this is not a negative comment we were very happy with the level of noise we had.
- Chris (7/5): Very adequate for our needs of the day. - Location to hospital was good Electric blanket not working on left side. No 3 now channel available. Noisey tenants after midnight.

- Violet (8/5): Very good -
- Roseanne (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (10/5): Great place to stay - Loved the amenities from the coffee to the body wash.
- Jo (8/5): Very good - Very spacious rooms - heaps of space for two adults and two kids. Everything very clean. Beds made with crisp sheets. Easy to maneuver a big car in the car park. Close to town & 1min away from food choices. Two tvs in both bedrooms. Huge bathroom with a bath and shower. The pipes are a bit noisy from our own unit. If someone needs to go to the toilet in the night, it pays not to flush as it wakes the whole family up.
- Cruz (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (9/5): Perfect location - Perfect spot with great access in Tauranga Room was very cold but once we got the heat going. No worries
- Helen (10/5): Convenient will stay again - Clean and great parking A bit noisy on main rd
- Panelbeaters (10/5): Exceptional - good awesome experience visit again when we need
- Helen (9/5): Great stay with excellent staff - The shower mixer needed some attention.
- Rae (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tony (9/5): Excellent Units.Great staff and in a handy location.I got a free upgrade too. - Very comfortable and well thought out Accommodation. Close to town and great for getting around. Some of the decor is dated.Cameron Road engineering.
- Kirsty (6/5): Pleasant - Beds were comfy, we used the spa pool, room was spacious, they let us check in half an hour earlier which was nice, parked right outside the room. Overpriced for what it is. This was a last-minute option as when we arrived at our original accommodation booking, they informed us they had double-booked the room. Options were limited for Easter weekend but Booking.com said on the phone we could stay here and they would reimburse us. For $325 a night, we expected it to be more flashy. Carpets were tired, lighting wasn't great, room was serviced but only coffee was replaced, no milk and bed wasn't made. Shower is over a bath with poor ventilation in the bathroom, few hairs on the towels. Knowing how much we forked out for it left a sour taste. If you're looking for a $300-a-night experience, this isn't it. It would be fair to pay $150-170 for this room.
- Lauren (9/5): Superb -
- Stacey (10/5): Exceptional - Location, pool and hot tub - clean
- Trevor (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable and well situated for our needs
