Excellent location, a very tidy operation and I like that they’ve prioritised the guest rooms/internal hotel for upgrade investments. I can understand why booking.com has them as a partner for their rewards programme. Don’t let the outer/older building fool you, this has been fully modernised and has excellent facilities. Good value for money. On side note which shouldn’t really matter much for accommodation but the TV technology was incredible for watching Prime/Netflix/TVNZ On Demand etc, I’ve never seen such an integrated/easy to use system beyond Auckland’s 5 Stars before and I stay everywhere on late notice if the price is fair/worth me staying btw - it might have just been luck for the room I had or maybe it’s standardised.

Lovely private room.. comfy bed.. yummy breakfast.. helpful staff.

We had oaid for breakfast incl in the booking.com booking but on the following morning (Sunday) the restaurant was closed, luckily there a staff member who was able to get our request translated by a person on the phone and went ahead and got the breakfast sorted.. even had it brought up to our room..bad communication between booking.com and the motel itself.. pays to double check with the staff all of your requests as you check in.. will know this for future.. also the lovely pod coffee machine only had enough for one person.. be nice if there was enough fir both people and maybe another lil packet of cookies also so 1 each b nice.. and some also artificial sweetener available for those who can't use sugar.

Last minute booking to have a break from long distance driving. It was perfect. Needed a comfortable bed, tv & a quiet space - got exactly that. The carpark was almost full when I arrived but the entire time, rarely heard any other guests. Bed was very comfortable & room was clean. Nice bathroom. Note: upstairs rooms are only accessible by stairs.

Netflix didn’t work on the TV at all & the wifi kept cutting out. However was only there for one night

We were earlier than expected but checking in was no problem. Thumbs up to the young lady on reception - very friendly and welcoming. Also appreciated how she was happy to answer ALL of my questions :) The room was very clean and the bed was ultra comfortable. The outside temperature dropped later in the evening but the room was nice and cosy. Even though the motel is on a main thoroughfare and there were other guests, it was really quiet :) The location was great for us too as we were in town for a speedway meeting.... just a stone's throw away.

The only real thing that disappointed was the lack of live sports channels.... delayed coverage sucks as you have to stay away from other media forms (radio, computers etc) so you don't hear the scores. The main game (ABs vs RSA) was ok as it was set to play early in the morning.

Room had everything you need, we'll laid out and the two comfy chairs to watch tv and the balocony are added bonuses not often seen in hotel! Friendly staff and even had the choice of plunger or dolce gusto coffee in the room. Lovely place to stay.

While appreciated the availability of the heatpump, I had hope there might be a spare blanket available - it wasn't that cold since there had been afternoon sun so I think a blanket would have been fine without the need to used a heatpump. Location is close to stadium (?) with stockcars or similar on, which was loud-ish, but it was finished not too late so sound wasn't ongoing.

The staff were friendly and helpful. It was great to be able to check in early. The room was spacious with a well equipped kitchen area. There is a large supermarket a 5 minute walk away.

The chairs and table set up is not designed for eating at (there is a restaurant within the motel). The patio area is a bit neglected.

Ideal location for our event, clean and roomy. Friendly greeting on arrival.

Only bone to pick is that the fridge freezer would make random loud plasticy noises on and off during the night ( a bit like someone rustling around, hard to explain) therefore didn't get the best night's sleep. I am a light sleeper though to be fair :). Wouldn't have been so bad if it was a constant hum etc.

If you're needing a great place to stay that is not too much of a walk for town plus been geat vale for your $. You get an extremely comfortable bed and one of the biggest Tvs I have seen in a room. For those who like to refresh themselves, the bathroom is nice and big and shower had very good water pressure. Staff are very friendly and alway willing to help make your stay better as they go the extra mile and above and beyond. They have meet our expectations. 😁

The one downside is there is a bowling center right next door, so you can get a bit of noise from time to time. But, the room does a good job at keeping in the noise. Also, from time to time, there's some events that are held at the events center across the road.

Amazing motel , great location for us , right beside the speedway track . Stayed two nights and couldn’t fault the room apart from the soft old bed. Lovely balcony with a couple of seats. Staff were friendly and helpful, personal touch of some dvds that you could use while you stayed was great.

The bed was old very soft and definitely needs replacing.

The location was great, we loved being central to the Plaza.

The cleaning could have been better, on arrival we were met in our room with some socks that weren’t ours. The onsite eating place was dusty and the wrong things arrived with our order which - for the price of the meal was disappointing.
