Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
You had 2 portable heaters no heat pump. Power kept teipping out when yiu ran bohj heaters you had to go down stairs to wash in the cold damp bathroom. Your room key accesses another room so your property wasn't safe. The bath leaked tge water out as the plug provided was the wrong one. Cleanliness was lacking sink was marked not seen bleaching for quite sometime and carpet needed a vacuuming.. You had to park in your allocated space even though the csr psrk was to small for larger cars.

The service at the front desk was good and the staff were very friendly. The bedroom itself was okay but the bathroom and toilet was stained and dirty. Unfortunately because of that I would not stay there again.

OK value for money but not outstanding
The motel room was large and the bed fine. The upstairs room was large but the steps to get included a narrow landing. The car parking was very tight. If there had been a couple of twin cabs we would have been in trouble. The room was not air conditioned and quite hot on the February night we stayed there.Overall the motel is a bit tired but ok value for money.

An older property. More of a 2 star place. Needs A/C, or at least fly screens on windows. Upstairs extremely hot & stuffy on hot nights. Got sick from having the fan on at night. Location next door to geyser is good, though smell can be intense initially (you get used to it). Parking is awkward. Communal laundry. Pleasant staff.

Two-level motel - my grandsons had the bedroom on the ground floor and I had my bedroom up top - where the kitchen and TV was. (haha). The main bedroom has a small en-suite - nice not having to go downstairs to use the toilet at night! Very well-located at the end of Fenton St and so close to the restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

Adequate for our needs considering the good price. Very near the geyser, walking distance to Maori village. Town centre is a short drive away. Some stains and a bit of paint peeling off, but otherwise clean. Kids enjoyed the free Netflix though WiFi was not too consistent.
