We had an awesome stay with our family over the New Year period. Even though the hotel was right by the main road, we felt very secure knowing our car was safe in the property. The new owners are great to deal with, very accommodating and quick to rectify any issues. The property was clean and the rooms have been updated which feels very modern. Great stay, will definitely be back next time we are in Tauranga/Mount Maunganui

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was in good condition, fresh and clean. Could do with a coffee table or side table beside the couch, and a grab rail to help get in and out of the shower over the spa bath. No non-slip mat, so it was a bit slippery. The Sky TV wasn't working properly, mentioned it to management, but nothing happened, we had chosen the motel because it had Sky and my husband really wanted to watch the Boxing Day Cricket, but that wasn't possible because it wasn't working. Unfortunately, when the place is full, the car parking is terrible, no room for error, you need to let passengers out before parking, as the parks are terribly narrow.

I enjoy staying at this motel because of its location and ease of access. It's recently had a nice renovation refresh which brings the area into a nicer warm and modern feel. I noticed a sign on the door suggesting the office was closed at 5pm daily. So if you are planning on arriving after this time, make sure they are aware.
