Outside of the Motel was very messy and inside was out dated and disgusting, the place wasn't clean.
Not much to be honest..
There was not Sky like they advertised no fan also they shower was all over the place so made it very hard to wash the kiddos, Spa was disgusting..
Good location Good size unit
Very thin walls, had rowdy neighbour's all hours. Had kitchenette but no pots/pans etc. Also no extraction fan. Light bulbs out, luke warm shower in evening but ok in morning, kitchen facilities lacking for dishes etc cleaning pretty average. Overall needs a good clean/spruce up.
Good location being on the Fenton Street strip of accommodation.Quiet despite being on a Main Street.
A little tired, could do with a refresh, but overall room amenities were good for what was provided. The hot water never seemed to get really hot.Not a negative.. but showering in a spa bath was an interesting experience
Hospitable. Awesome owner.
No hot water in shower. Small coffee cups. Overall great stay for us.
Nice place to stay comfy clean and Tidy
The bubble jacuzzi bath is cool it was unexpected for the price. Parking is well managed. There is even a bench or a chair outside for those who wanted to have a cigarette break.
The linen on my bed is stained, and there is no AC. I have booked in advance for three unfortunately the big plates and cutlery are only for two adults.
Bed linen and towels were clean
No information about facilities-laundry etc. no information on check in. Property extremely tired and poorly kept. Stayed 3 nights towels were changed and toilet paper topped up and rubbish cleared.
The location was good
It wasnt as it looked in the pictures in the listing. There was no AC and the rooms were worn down and dirty with dusty fans. The spa was also very dirty
Bed was comfortable
The shower was terrible. The bathroom and kitchen needed a big renovation. It was outdatwd and needed a lot of repair to the whole property. The grounds were unkempt. The room was small for the price. Would not recommend or stay there again.
The spa and the good size unit
Rooms were goodwith what we needed as a family.. but it wasn't very clean blankets dirty carpet needs a clean asap foor dirty i had to wipe down and my cloth was black cups and plates dirty curtains had bubble gum all stuck to the back and mold the beds and pillows were hard... I think the staff and bosses need a good shake up I have worked as head of house keeping at many places and I wouldn't not stand for this very dirty room all round..the mat chairs table out in the spa room looked like they were going to fall apart..
Loved having own spa in room
Outside ground in spa area needs attention. Needs waterblasting and was full of leaves. Needs to be cleaned regularly.
The hot tub and location close to town
The untidiness and the noise from the people next to us. Fighting and load till early morning hours. No motel information in room for who to contact or any info.
Enjoyed the private hot pool and courtyard.
Leaky shower. But owner made aware
The spa was nice
The owners were very rude, the Landry is very messy inside washin for day, very dirty the room smelt like a strong damp smell was very dirty not a clean motel at all! Would not recommend, there’s also no air con an it was extremely hot
The beds were comfortable
No air conditioning or fan, tiny bathroom, toilet running water all night, shower sprays everywhere and gets water on floor, cracked mirrors, torn curtains, tub in courtyard was dirty with leftover dirty cups from previous guests. Terrible experience given we paid nearly $1000NZ for 3 nights.
It was good value for money accommodating staff member provided extra towels
When we arrived there was still a shot glass with alcohol by the spa my toddler went to grab it and I quickly snatched it off her.
The sky channels in most places I've stayed the channels are normal tv or selected sky.
The pillows were hard. Walls by the bed were dirty. No hot water for the spa. The shower was crap. Jet spray going everywhere else but me. Very disappointed
