The motel was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Old motel upgraded and comfortable. Nowhere to hang clothes, should this be important. Pleased had electric blanket. Suggestion - check "dodgy" connections at wall and temperature control. Stove had switch not working. Not an issue for me. Good Wifi Would stay again.

It was perfect for what we needed, close to the Whangarei hospital. Great sized rooms and very clean for the age of this property. Amenities were all there in the room. We were in the roadside room and it was a little bit noisy but then we do live out in the country! Would definitely stay again. Thank you 🙂

Disappointed with pool not being open and was dirty in middle of summer. Many sky channels advertised as being available were not. Shower pressure was minimal. Room itself was tidy and sufficient

If you have business at Whangarei Hospital, the location of this property is perfect, just a 5 min drive down the road. However, the property is very dated, cleanish but in dire need of some TLC. Some of the amenities did not work...eg a wall heater in lounge. The stove in the kitchen needed a really good scrub as did some surfaces.The water pressure is very poor and the temperature of the hot water is minimal. Its shame really because the location is so great.

Not again

Older building. Room is spacious but the furniture is quite worn. Some noise from the road next to the building and also from the emergency service helicopters which probably fly to the nearby Whangarei Hospital. Because I was still sitting in the car outside my room after check out, I could see through the open door that my bed had been made again, but the sheets had not been changed. However, I don't want to exclude the possibility of a mistake regarding the length of my stay, despite the very manageable number of rooms...
