Our room was infested with ants. When we brought up the ants to the man at the front desk he brushed off our concerns like it was nothing and put ant drops around the room which made 100s more ants show up in the room. In the middle of the night we woke up and found ants in our beds. Nothing was done after the fact to rectify the problem. There was a different man at the front desk in the morning and he was much more understanding but still nothing was done.

Motel-style stay

I think this is a regular hotel for Blenheim; however, it was a bit like a motel park place. On the vintage side of things. The shower is no telephone-like and there were long hairs in the tub. The bed was very soft, but warm enough. There is no heating so it got a bit chilly overnight.

There are better alternatives in town

A hotel on the outside of the CBD with no direct pedestrian access other than a footpath down a grass embankment on the other side of a busy state highway. The room itself was not bad but there was a very odd overpowering odour which could suggest issues with plumbing. I don’t think I’ll book again
