Guest Reviews
- Hiro (8/5): Simple and handy - Good customer service. Huge room. Simple check-in and out. Easy to park cars. We needed more large bowls to have dinner. Also, we wished to have a pot to boil pasta.
- Ymfrance (8/5): - Our room was very clean, and the staff were lovely
- Kate (9/5): Friendly man behind the desk, good place with pets. - Location was good for us, showers were great. Felt very comfortable having the dog with us. We were just there for a night, ot all seemed fine
- Sue (9/5): Excellent weekend - Friendly staff quiet location
- Bruce (10/5): -
- David (7/5): - Very friendly and obliging staff and a room that met our needs as we were sheltering from a storm. They even offered us free breakfast although we had already had something. The bed was comfortable. A few things looked a bit tired, there was an old car parked in the carpark that looked as if it was being stored there, and our unit seemed to have a surplus bed and a disconnected fridge stored there. It met our needs well as a short notice booking with room for three of us.
- Tong (9/5): Generally speaking, it’s a great place for its value and dog friendly. - 100% dog friendly Facility is a bit good but in good order and clean
- Guest (8/5): -

- Sue (8/5): A very lovely motel with spacious rooms. - The 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The host was very friendly. Facilities were good. Location was OK but not near any restaurants/coffee shops/etc so had to drive to those.
- Jacque (10/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): Met expectations, slightly awkward location but no issues. - Good Wifi. No bedside power sockets on one side of bed. No registration of vehicle plates - someone else parked in our space one day but I had no idea which room they were in.

- Mayuran (10/5): -
- Collett (6/5): It was good clean accommodation and all we needed for our stay. - We made our own breakfast.
We had a large TV. There was nothing in the shower to hold onto. Quite slippery. Not good for elderly or disabled people.
We were provided with fresh towels every day.
- Mary Ann (8/5): -

- Hiro (10/5): Clean - Clean and Tidy. Quiet location Bit far from Napier centre. Might be need a car for travel.
- Nishant (10/5): -
- maarten (9/5): Heel goed. - Er was geen ontbijt bij inbegrepen ,en de lacatie is heel goed vllakbij het centrum en de boulevard van Napier. niets had er beter gekund. Alles was goed.
- Shontel (10/5): Amazing - The hotel had heaps of space the rooms were super clean and comfortable. Kids friendly and the staff were amazing I liked everything
- Shontel (10/5): -

- JOYAL SAM (8/5): -
- Sammy (9/5): - Room was very clean, bedding very clean. Beds were super comfortable and room was well stocked with everything we would need, extra points for the extra towels provided. Aircon was beautiful. Kids enjoyed the swimming pool and all interactions with staff were very good. N/A

- Anind S (9/5): - Great value for money and helpful staff, checkin was fast and smooth.
Room was clean and tidy, with all required items.
Beds were comfortable and cozy More sockets for phones or others items would be great, specially when large group is staying.
Exhaust fans would be great in the toilet.
- Daniel (9/5): Affordable and family friendly - Price wise was reasonable for this time of year and also very clean and modern and also very family orientated which you dont get these days Apart from making sure coffee and tea was regularly stocked I can't fault the place
- ALLAN (6/5): We got what we paid for . It was comfortable. Pool and spa available to use.pleasant enough. - Reasonable price. Quiet Parking. We had two cars . Limited space
- Catherine (3/5): Won’t be returning - It was clean, close to town. Man in office was welcoming on arrival and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. Unit was well cleaned by them. Our unit had a large security light outside the door. This went on and off all night, lighting up the full unit like the sun was shining in. After 2 nights of limited sleep, we went to the office to talk about if it could be switched off, we were told a firm no it can’t by the cleaning lady who relied the message sent back the from the owner/manager out in the back room. It was disappointing they couldn’t come out and discuss this with us personally. We tried again when leaving and no one came to the office when my husband took the key in. The grounds need maintenance and there is a trailer of rubbish sitting next to an entrance with a large shipping container out on the lawn. The pool area needs some maintenance and isn’t appealing. We weren’t aware this was a pet friendly motel, but reasonably quiet considering the amount of dogs there. With some interior and exterior maintenance, this could be a nice motel.
- Soumdararajan (10/5): -
- Renee (7/5): -
- LINDA (7/5): - Great location, comfortable rooms, dog friendly. Would stay there again.
- Nicola (10/5): - Pool was great, was family orientated place, good if you have a pet. Parking needs a bit of work especially if you have a big vehicle
- Burger-Jung (6/5): - Studio mit älterer Einrichtung, das sehr sauber war. Die Damen für die Zimmerreinigung leisten hierfür viel und müssen sich sehr beeilen ! Bei nur 2 Nächten wurden die Betten gemacht, die Handtücher und Geschirrtücher gewechselt und der Müll entsorgt; damit haben wir nicht gerechnet. Kochutensilien umfangreich vorhanden. Unser Studio hatte keine Küchenzeile wie angegeben, sondern neue Mikrowelle, Kühlschrank und einen Minibackofen mit 2 Kochplatten darauf, welcher aber nicht gut funktionierte. Das Geschirr konnte nur im Bad gewaschen werden ! Das Badwaschbecken war in einer Höhe von etwa 70 cm angebracht. Man muss sich bücken....
Die Fläche um den Pool war schmutzig, die Stühle verrostet, Plastikstühle verwittert .
Es gab kein kleines Becken, um sich die Füße zu reinigen vor Nutzung des Pools und Kinder sprangen ständig mit schmutzigen Füßen ins Wasser. Für uns war Baden im Pool daher ausgeschlossen.
Der Gästewaschraum mit 2 Waschtrocknern und einem Handwaschbecken war sehr schmutzig, die Armatur des Handwaschbeckens komplett lose.
- Diane (8/5): - This motel is showing its age and is basic , however the staff are wonderful , it’s great value, water pressure is great and the bed was comfy . Thanks
- Phill (8/5): Great functional, friendly, clean motel. Quiet, yet easy to access from city - Great host. The motel is pet friendly but unlike many motels that are, Acehigh retained the comfort and cleanliness of a pet-free establishment.
- Catherine (10/5): - The kindness and respectful nature of the manager.
- Murray (3/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): - Such welcoming and friendly staff. Met all our needs. Will stay again
- Doug (7/5): 1 - Close to the motorway A little untidy as we found rubbish under bed & sofa
- Natasha (7/5): Good - Was very welcoming
- Stradoss (8/5): Very good -
- Monica (4/5): Needed somewhere to stay for the night - Car park in the room, last minute booking, sky, big bed in main room Not cleaned properly, so shows age
- Bernadette (8/5): Very good - While it wasn't as close to the venue as I would have wanted it was only a 5-minute drive away so that was good. They were very accommodating when I asked for a later check out time which my friend and I really appreciated.
- Ellie (7/5): Good -
- Sharon (9/5): Superb - It was clean, welcoming and everything needed for our stay.
- Peni (10/5): FAMILY ORIENTED 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ - Pet friendly
We were able to travel with our fur baby.
Staff were so friendly and the owners are so nice and welcoming Nothing
- Bill (9/5): I'll be back, that sums up my stay. - Close to the shops and the beach.
- Jasmine (10/5): Exceptional - It was great. Had two adults a baby and dog and was great for all of us The location was a bit out of the way for anything no dairies or supermarket close by
- Maude (5/5): Passable - There was a bad smell.of urine on one of the single beds
- Aj (7/5): We’ve had dogs for decades, but never really travelled with them. It’s a relief to know there are places like Ace High t - Dog Friendly
- Jeremy (7/5): Good -
- Viona (7/5): Good -
- Vicki (6/5): Cheerful, family suitable, 3 Star rating. - The place was clean, just a little tired.
Close to conference venue, so suited our needs for the weekend stay.
The pool was very relaxing after a hot day. Their website states breakfast available, but this is no longer the case.
They did offer to organize breakfast, but I'd already decided to make a supermarket run.
They did offer the use of their company vehicle for our supermarket run, but we declined.
The drapes let all the security lighting in, so it was difficult to sleep.
- Don (10/5): We hoped for everything and it was everything we hoped. - Just an excellent well maintained property. Nothing fancy but everything you need with a friendly helpful staff.
- Maree (8/5): Very good -
- Aura (8/5): Very good - Location area Just parking
- Hall (8/5): very convenient for what we wanted - Not applicable for breakfast.... It was all good ..satisfied
- Johannes (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shelly (8/5): Very good - The motel is in a quiet location. We stayed here mainly because we could bring our pet.
- Cam (8/5): Very good - Allowed pets, staff we awesome
And friendly Coffee plunger was broken but fixed it. In general old but still super clean
- Grant (9/5): Excellent, would highly recommend - Very friendly and helpful owner. Nothing
- Anamaria (8/5): Other than the above the room itself was spacious and nice, had all the facilities you needed. - Location Just one thing the shower, it was so slippery dangerous actually I brought a plastic mat to go inside the shower to stop from slipping or falling over.
Cluttered parking especially backing out of the Motel.
- Johnson (8/5): Nice stay, good bed quiet handy to town -
- Fenton (7/5): Good - Parking. Large room. Gentleman behind counter was friendly Grounds abit scruffy, some abandoned looking vehicles lying around.
Motel is dated as are the facilities

- Amit (9/5): Superb -
- Miriama (9/5): Value for money. - It was clean,quiet and good parking. Friendly staff. Very comfortable beds. Bathroom could do with an upgrade and there was no armchair.
- Baniqued (8/5): Very good -
- Lexie (7/5): Good -
- Dick (7/5): Good - Location on way into Napier easy to find. Pool needed clean.A lot of old vehicles parked up,grounds need a lot of work, weeding etc.

- Michelle (7/5): Good value for money - Location Outside areas a little untidy
- Meloth (5/5): Passable -

- Janet (10/5): Great Stay! - Very clean and tidy with comfortable beds. Water pressure in the shower was fantastic. The kitchen was supplied with everything you needed to cook with. Enjoyed the swimming pool. The motor inn is in a great location just a short drive to the city centre. Would recommend. Nothing I didn't like.
- Whakaaro (9/5): Comfortable - Welcoming Nothing
- Timote (8/5): Very good -
- Natasha (4/5): Not what you would expect - Room was spacious, new appliances, clean, all amenities provided...but overall? - not a motel I would visit again. I paid $207 but only worth $180 for the 1 bedroom apartment I purchased. The photos of this accommodation aren't current. The premises is scruffy, untidy and run down. The spa pool was not clean/sanitary and the outdoor furniture old, rusty. From the outside the motel looked like it needed some maintenance. The reception smelled like urine and the owner's presentation was as scruffy and unkept as his motel. Owner was pleasant but first impressions left me second guessing whether or not I should stay.
The female at reception who phoned my room was not very friendly. The shower pressure was way too high, my kids couldn't use the shower because the pressure hurt against their skin and the fridge was so old it didn't keep anything cold. The air con did not blow cold air, it seemed to be stuck on heat (I have the same air con at home so know the settings). The motel was a disappointment.
- Jones (7/5): Good -
- Shayna (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms were serviced daily. Very clean
- Cz (10/5): Exceptional - It has been such a breeze with Ace High Motor Inn. Booking was easiest, getting ok for my dogs easy as. The owner's welcoming approach made this a great stay - a genuine Kiwi warmth. Super helpful made sure we were aware of the back area dog exercise place. Place is a little old but it was clean, good shower pressure, bed comfy, has got all the extra things we needed. Place was quiet and we had a good night's sleep
- Tabrez (9/5): We took 2 x 1 bedroom units as we were 2 families travelling together. We arrived at the property an hour before checkin - The host and the property. Both very nice Nothing
- Tabrez (8/5): Very good -
- Krystal (5/5): Passable -
- Keith (9/5): Superb -
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Melissa (9/5): Superb - Friendly and helpful owners. Super comfy beds and spotless room. In a quiet location. Pets allowed Parking is really tight for larger cars. Pool needed cleaning and the complex entry and carpark needs a clean up and a clear out.
- Debbie (9/5): Superb - The place was clean and tidy. Beds were great. And they send back clothes that were left behind. Thankyou Nothing
- Penny (5/5): Passable -
- Lorraine (7/5): Good -
