Room was clean and tidy and looked like it had been fairly recently updated so felt fresh and tasteful despite the outside looking like a fairly old, traditional motel. Had everything we needed including an air fryer which was unexpected. Bed was comfortable and staff at check in was very friendly and helpful.

Mirror and basin were in the kitchen area rather than the bathroom which made that space a little cramped.

Excellent location just off the main road so fairly quiet. Handy for shops and restaurants. We used this as a stopover before travelling along the Forgotten Highway SH43. Parking was right outside the door. The bed was comfy, ensuite bathroom clean and there was a small kitchen area.

The drinking water didn't taste very nice so we had to use bottled water.

The staff were so kind and helpful. The rooms were a good size and had everything you need. The area was quite and peaceful and a short walk to places of interest, such as shops, restaurants, museums, monuments etc.

I can't complain about anything, we had a great experience.

The location was excellent,,,a little disappointed that there was no kitchen sink ,,,,,,, wasching your hands, (after toilet use) waching your faces AND cups or what ever in the same seems to me very very unlikely , but we survived ....... All was good ...👍🤝 THANKS ,

Not much better,,, we will be back !,,! Look above,,,, nice clean place .......

Staff were awesome thank you Steven and team for all your hospitality. The rooms were great fit for my Son and I. The tables outside designated for smokers nice touch though we don't smoke it gave my Son and I outdoor personal space. And the views of the sky over Hospital hill amazing as in photo from the balcony of our room

No comment because everything was to our liking

The staff were very thoughtful and helpful and happy to help out with extra items on request. The room was a good size and spotlessly clean.

The heater didn't really cope with the cold Taumarunui weather but there was a good electric blanket on the bed.

The hotel was off the main road, which meant it was quiet. The staff were lovely and accommodating, even calling afterwards when they thought we may have left something at the hotel.

The room didn't have air conditioning, which one a hotter day, would have been noticeable. The windows didn't have screens, which made it feel a little less comfortable having them open overnight.

Let’s be real, this is a basic motel that provides a good spot to rest your head on the road to somewhere else. Don’t expect the Ritz. But if you’re looking for a hot shower, clean bed linens, and a friendly owner that will try and accommodate your needs (like charge your car or recommend a good place to eat) then this is perfect.
