Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean, daily cleaning was a bonus, a bit dated but comfortable. Not having a blackout blind with a light outside, and the lack of acoustic isolation such as double glazing made the quality of sleep not so great. A good value for money, but could improve.

Value for money

Enjoyed my stay as comfortable beds, spacious, friendly and very quiet at night even though it is a busy street. Walkable to Central mall, movies and restaurants. Value for money and friendly.

Happily stay again

We were pleasantly surprised by the motel as the cost was so reasonable and have stayed in places much less clean and comfortable for more money! Great location near the city centre, friendly, helpful staff and comfortable room. One change we would recommend is replacing the shower curtain to avoid water accidentally spraying on the floor. We would happily stay again. Thanks Kerry's Motel!

Liked: Cleanliness
As others have noted, this property needs renovation. But, the room is large and clean. Good location as you can walk to downtown and Whakarewarewa Maori Village. The motel is on a busy road but is not noisy at night. The owner is helpful. Note that the office is not open often. Breakfast is not included.
