Guest Reviews
- Lightforce Scheduler (3/5): - Luckily, I only had 1 night here. Disappointing, room has a broken TV, towels were stained as were the carpets.
- Zarita (7/5): -
- Raewyn (9/5): -
- Travellingduo_nz (4/5): - Toilet, handbags, kitchen nice and cleancarpet Carpet between beds dirty, room was smelly, mould all around bath was a turnoff. Stains on cushions and pillowslips really put me off. Springs in bed had had it..
- Chaz (9/5): Excellent Customer service from reception & owner - The service was excellent & professional. Facilities clean and quiet. Was great for my visit. I found everything to be awesome
- Jason (7/5): Good - The cost Nothing
- Nicol (8/5): - Spacious, clean, and tidy absolute pleasure
- Peter (10/5): -
- Bryce (6/5): -
- Sophia (8/5): - Staff is very friendly, have stayed here multiple times The door to my room had to jiggle it a lil to lock. Breakfast was on time but cold
- Moana (10/5): Great place to stay đ - Breakfast was great. Loved the look of the building very eastern. Loved the garden view and top balcony. Spa bath is always a bonus. Toilet upstairs đ
- Tee (4/5): Disappointed! 7am couldnât come fast enough. - I was attracted to the place from reviews and the photos on booking.com, bonus they had a pool. The reception was tidy and the staff were friendly enough. The drive from reception to the accommodation gives you the illusion of tucked away luxury. The family room (room 16) stunk of stale cigarette. As a non smoker this was giving me a headache. I will give it to the staff when I went to see them, they happily gave me a new room (room 22). A somewhat upgrade. It had cockroaches, stained carpet and couch. Although the shower pressure was satisfying, the tub already had water over it, which lead me question the last time it was cleaned. The light fixtures, the towels and walls need to be deep cleaned. I honestly couldnât wait to leave. I canât help but think this place was emergency housing.
- Chris (8/5): Comfortable and Central - Great staff. Big room with couch and dining table. Kitchenette for cooking. Air conditioned for comfort. Private courtyard was great. Pool was awesome. Cold but it was warm out so very refreshing. Nothing.
- Reg (10/5): Great place to stay, highly recommend it.đ - Very big rooms lots of space, big bathroom with bath and shower, a little garden area, nice touch lots of parking space, nice and quiet. Had 2 nights here loved it đ. Itâs a bit of a distance to the restaurants, you would need to drive or 25 minute walk. There is a lovely Indian restaurant 4 minutes walk. We had 2 dinners there it was fantastic.
- lise (10/5): Perfect service - The location was perfect for us it was very clean and the staff comes around every morning to collect all dirty towels and get replaced The kids enjoyed the pool and spa and the staff were very friendly and helpful I will definitely come back
- Tania (6/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Renee (1/5): Feels like emergency housing - Lovely staff, super kind and flexible with us on dates So dirty, like - really dirty. Iâve stayed at hundreds of motels around the world and never stayed anywhere as dirty
- Brad (9/5): - Very quiet and close to town centre clean rooms and friendly staff at affordable price Rooms a little outdated
- Allen (8/5): -
- Anne (10/5): - Checked in late the lady was lovely and opened our room for us đ
- Nicol (8/5): - Nice big rooms very comfortable The room did smell a bit.
- Jason (10/5): -
- DotM1234 (6/5): An older-style motel with friendly reception staff, offering very basic but comfortable rooms. - Location seemed to be fairly central to everything. Although they came into our room to change the used towels they didnt make the beds. It would've been nice for them to have done that.
- Hera (6/5): - It was in a good location, the room size was nice and big for us, and my kids loved the pool. The towels were really old and I think need to be changed to new towels, there were stains behind the toilet on the wall, and I don't think it was really cleaned. There's no soundproofing so can hear the neighbours very clearly
- Collins (8/5): -
- Johnella (6/5): -
- Colin (8/5): Enjoyed our time at Hastings . If available we will book again at next visit - Proximity to family that live in Hastings and Splash Planet The pool wasnât open on check in day . Was looking forward to a swim after our 6hr drive to Hastings
- Wendy (7/5): - Location for us
- Alaina (7/5): - Was close to the shops and splash planet, they left us alone to do our thing The pool wasn't ready for use when we got there whi h was a bummer as we had a big group with a lot of kids
- Paul (8/5): - All good
- James (8/5): -
- Campbell (7/5): - Small issue - the bed squeaked
- Greg (7/5): -
- Ryan (4/5): - Staff were friendly. Office open late for check in. Room was in poor condition. Marketed as a family room but wasn't suitable for young children. Electrical sockets and phone in reach of small children. One Electrical socket in particular was broken, it looked as if it had blown, and just had cellotape covering it. Weird smell in bathroom. Stains in carpets and couch. Toilet roll dispenser broke as soon as touched. One window in bathroom doesnt have a latch, so its free to open and enter from outside. Bathroom door handle very loose to the point its about to fall off. Kitchen tap is so worn it sprays at you while using it.
- Sophia (9/5): -
- Jackson (10/5): - The location was perfect for us next to splash planet the main reason we came. Reception was 100% friendly and helpful. Everything was 100% there is nothing more you can say than that. I accidentally left my taonga in the room and the cleaner had identified and isolated for me to collect. I wish we could have stayed longer
- Claudette (7/5): - Could be cleaner
- wen (7/5): - Location
- maureen (10/5): Lovely Unit Very nice Staff - Breakfast was lovely
- Jeff (7/5): -
- Catherine (5/5): - Location was good. Also very appreciative of them letting us check in early. Property is very dated. Needs an upgrade really.
- Alana (7/5): - Location, clean had everything we needed
- Jane (7/5): An older facility but well run and comfy - Comfy bed, heat pump. All amenities provided A bit grubby in the corners of bathroom
- Te waiwera (8/5): -
- Saima (8/5): Nice accomodation well managed clean rooms old but nice and cozy - Location building cool rooms Old amenities the fan was too old to handle flies were in room
- Sandra (9/5): Well worth the money, great friendly staff, nice clean rooms - Staff were very friendly and welcoming room was clean and had kitchen utensils were available, so could cook our own breakfast, and allowed us extra time to move out as I had teenagers who stay up late, so much appreciated, would come again to stay. The shower curtain needs replacing, was tatty and had rips in it
- Gurparkash (10/5): -
- Sophia (8/5): - Location and staff were friendly easy to talk to
- Kasia (8/5): -
- Dale P (8/5): Very clean good staff Iâll stay there if I go back to Rotorua - Location close to city Nothing
- joan (9/5): -
- Phil (7/5): Was ok for what we paid - Couldn't open the main door from the inside. Maintenance person was not available to make repair immediately. Was a safety concern if we needed to exit the unit in a hurry.
- Hong (4/5): - big room no air condition to upstairs, it was very hot overnight
- Jo (7/5): - Great that it was away feom the road, nice and quiet Bathroom could do with a good clean, itherwise everything else was tiduy
- sharyne (5/5): It was noisey, 1.30am someone let their kids out to play loud music in their car! Not the best value - Location was good within walking distance to restaurants. Bathroom - heated towel rail screw fell out, toilet cistern was loose and top came off each time flushed, had one shower on Saturday morning then no more hot water for two hours, clean towels on Sunday had black marks on them, generally bathroom needed a good clean and overhaul. Lounge - net curtains didnt match and when pulled across either didnt meet in the middle or if you pulled them closed in the middle the ends werenât covered, mat in from of ranch slider covered big hole in carpet either carpet tacks sticking up, sat in chair underneath the heat pump and either sandflies or fleas jumped all over my legs. Room was like a furnace when we arrived could have been opened up prior. Could have done with a good clean. Couldnât work tv no matter how hard we tried!
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Shabina (10/5): Very pleasant - Good location friendly people very accommodating to our requests All good
- Aimee (7/5): -
- lv (5/5): - Good location, convenient to go city centre. The free wifi isn't that stable, sometimes the connection is poor. The spa in our bathroom doesn't work.
- Pare (7/5): - Location It was old, bed was very hard, fridge wasnât keeping things cold
- Sharlene (10/5): Will be back again next time in the bay -
- Nicola (4/5): - Nothing It was very old and run down. Both reception and the room had an odor. It was expensive for such a low grade place to stay, you can stay in really nice up to date hotels in central Auckland for less money per night. Would never stay there again.
- Rongomai (2/5): Wont be staying there again. - The location was convenient. It wasnât very clean. Towelâs had stains, hole in pillowcase, the tv wasnât working ect.
- Sandy (7/5): Very adequate and in a great location if you are going to Splash Planet. - The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed the pool and location. The unit offered everything we needed for a short stay. Very comfortable beds. Itâs a little tired and could use some maintenance to bring it to a higher level. Our door stuck very badly and was difficult to open. The bathroom could use a refresh.
- Garz (9/5): - Good value for money.. Comfortable rooms . Swimming pool was clean, excellent standards. Highly recommend, great staff and great service đ White towels had yellow stains. Faulty power outlet should have been replaced.
- Jeremy (10/5): -
- Moya (3/5): We arrived to the muck up rooms which we finally sorted was close to family rooms which was noisy and we arrived back to - Air con Hard bed with bed bugs
- Greg (6/5): - Position, and it was clean Bed was very old and very uncomfortable. No batteries in the upstairs remote. Place is just very tied, needs a complete over haul.

- Shona (10/5): - Clean and spacious rooms Comfy bed Bathroom with lovely shower
- Alison (6/5): -
- Ellen (10/5): -
- Hunny (3/5): - A good renovating needs to be done. And a good bright colours. The usage of the space is not good. Re carpet the floor. The room was quite disgusting. I hope my next visit to valdez is upgraded. I will finalise online services.
- vikash (10/5): kids loved the pool - very handy location nothing to complain about
- Charlotte MacDonald (9/5): -
- Amanuel Tadele (9/5): - It was close to where I was going (Splash planet) No in-house laundry, ensuite stairs
- ratapu (7/5): -
- Jeremy (10/5): -
- Jillian (8/5): - Basic all we needed Nothing
- Shirley (6/5): Keep an open mind - Place was old and needed a bit of work but felt lived in. Nice cupboards in kitchen area Seemed to be well set up and remember its just a pit stop and this place is Perfect for that. I'll be back soon. It's nice to relax in a motel and not too scared to dirty things. Staff need to pay a bit more attention as faults should have been seen to, like we had 2 peppers, no salt; i have cold packs for my insulin but freezer was so iced up couldnt use it. Heated towel rack won't work half flush doesn't work All minor things just need a handy man
- Tony (8/5): Purposeful - Easy access
- Sheree (8/5): It was a nice looking moter lodge and very clean and cozy cute feel,loved our stay here. - The rooms are clean and tidy,staff are friendly,pools small but good,favourite part was the water pressure and temperature especially in shower that was amazing,small TV but had sky channels included and the available wifi. The pool loungers definitely and air conditioning/heat pump was hard to turn on,remote buttons/batteries maybe effecting that.
- Waiana (10/5): Last minute booking for work, have booked here before and I always enjoy my stay. - Clean and spacious l, all the facilities I needed were there and staff were friendly and helpful. N/A
- Yoann (8/5): Very good stay - Perfect for my travel in Hastings the noise from the neighbors
