Choose another hotel. The room was very run-down. The carpet was threadbare, with lumps and tufts sticking up everywhere. The furniture was falling apart and very sun-bleached. There was a weird smell, and the linen had brown stains. The shower recess had weird stains/buildup on the floor, and the rose was mouldy. The elevator had doors that swung out, exposing the openings going past - surely not to code and dangerous. Parking is limited, and if you don't get back early enough, you might miss out on a spot. Definitely not worth the money. It's obvious the owners are milking this asset until it dries up. The only good thing about it is the location and the views.

FIND SOMEWHRE ELSE - Great motel, terrible customer service - for $220.00 a night there are lots of better options in Napier with good service. Third time staying here, but new owners - terrible service. Requested ground floor room, received email confirmation after booking it would be okay. Arrived - got 3rd level, up stairs, no milk. We were delayed several hours due to getting lost with road diversions & both husband and wife were rude and unhelpful, several calls and texts just to be told room was left open - when I responded I would be sharing the ordeal in my customer review...then no communication back at all. Considering we were there lucky 8 hours before we had to depart early next morning - easy money for them, but made us feel like we had created the biggest problems for them and were a real problem. Never staying there again.
