Beach Front Motel Napier
The room was lovely and clean. Paint work needs refreshing - especially at the bottom of the bathroom door and other places. A few dings in the walls which need filling. The spa was really nice and I enjoyed the small touches. A little noisy at night with the rain falling on something tin outside ...
