Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s terrible because when we arrived the motel, nobody informed me that the motel is closed and already for sale. But you still advertising that motel. We tried to contact expedia and the motel but uncontainable. So we have to find a place to stay luckily we found one. This is the first that happened to me and the best part is it’s my birthday. What a birthday gift I received from you. I’m very disappointed.

If you're looking for a budget room just to sleep in, this is for you. Not suitable if you're going to spend any additional time in the room.

Whilst we found the unit to be a bit outdated, it was tidy, and clean. Cleaning staff were great. Our bed was always made on our return to the unit. The owner Mrs/Mz was very affable and accommodating with our requests. Final one being breakfast on Friday. A beautiful meal of scrambled eggs, tomato, toast and chirazo sausgage. Over all, a great stay.

Receptionist was friendly and helpful, room was tidy and clean enough, close to Pukekura Park but the condition of some of the other rooms wasnt good, boarded up doors that had been broken, not very inviting. Was ok for one night but probably wouldn't stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was just what we needed! OK, so the room was a little run down. But the bathroom and kitchen surfaces were well cleaned; there was plenty of room; it was quiet; the host was friendly and welcoming; and it was convenient to the locations we wanted to get to. It was perfect for our last-minute night away. Thank you!
