Perfect stay

Our experience was fantastic, the Motel is pet friendly and it is also located meters from the hospital, which was the reason for our visit. We will return there anytime we visit Whanganui again.

Netties

Lovely tidy clean one bedroom unit. Very powerful,hot shower. Not enough towels for number booked but was brought quickly once asked for. Same thing happened next day when room serviced. Service only includes changing towels and shorting dishes ( which we had already done and left to dry.) Need to drive everywhere. Was a good price and served its purpose.

Yeah, Nah - Wont be back.

Not really due the 7.8 rating that it had. I was greeted by 2 very drunk guys wandering around the carpark (they seemed like regulars) generally making other guests uncomfortable. The room was generally clean, though the stale cigarette smell was inescapable and the cover on the bed didnt inspire me with any confidence of cleanliness. While the bathroom had been renovates and was generally fine, the shower was a pathetic attempt at being a shower due to the uber low water pressure. In short, I wont be returning. I can get really nice accommodation elsewhere in NZ's large cities for less then Fiesta Court was asking.

Easy access and nice stay

There for a rowing weekend. Easy access to town. Booked a queen and 2 singles but given only 1 single at first. Quickly sorted. There is only a sheet to cover you at night which gets a bit chilly. There’s also a bed cover but we don’t normally use that as a duvet. No choice on chilly first night. Ours was a renovated unit except the couch was old and had the head imprints. All right for 2 nights at the price.

The property was fine. I asked the Management/ Reception to sort a couple issues which he was extremely pleasant and attended before we returned from our outing. The bed was comfortable and the towels were changed daily. There was coffee tea and milk available topped up daily. I will use this motel again and suggest it to other travelers who want a comfortable stay..

Helpful staff and clean cosy accommodation

For the price, this motel exceeded my expectations. The unit was spacious with a modern clean bathroom with decent shower pressure. The attachment of a powerboard to the wall above the bed showed the owners understand the business traveller's need for several accessible plugs. Short walk to hospital makes it ideal for those needing to be close to hospital. Staff were understanding and helpful.

Motel Ok

Not really child friendly and found it hard with my kitchen sink. Also no fan in the bathroom and got very steamy. Probably wouldn't stay there again.
