Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed for one night, we were assigned the most inconvenient room you could have. The place was empty with no one else there. When asked for something better was told that’s all there was for that price. The room all be it clean, but was really run down. A spa bath that didn’t work, a bath with a large crack in it, bathroom sink with the cupboard doors nearly hanging off. A sign saying that if u use the shower and the fire alarm goes off ur up for a $450 call out because there is no steam extraction fan. The biggest issue we had is there was an elderly couple in the check in office and the way they were spoken to was totally unacceptable. We have stayed at a number of hotels/motel throughout NZ but this is the worst.

Clean rooms. Don't stay here for the restaurant

Lovely, clean, refurbished rooms. Hot and stuffy, though, with no air conditioning and few windows to open, and it wasn't that warm outside. We planned to eat at the restaurant, and the menu was in our room, but upon entering, we were told it was for Chinese bookings only.

Property is tired but had everything needed for a short stay. Quite a way out of town and difficult to pull out on the busy road at times. We didn’t feel welcomed at check in and the sign in the room telling us we would have to pay a call out fee for the fire service if the smoke alarm was activated wasn’t really welcoming either!

We were there for 2 nights. The property seems to cater to large overnight groups. The restaurant was sold out both nights. In the evenings and mornings these groups were loud and inconsiderate. The wifi was awful. It kept going in and out. You had to constantly re-sign in. The only complaint about the room itself was that the bed was soft.
