Nice & clean, white linen, over all was very good. But we had 3 people staying, with only 2 glasses, 1 cup, 2 dinning chairs? The biggest disappointment was the lack of sound proofing, coming from upstairs we could hear everyone walking, everything they dropped, doors, water running, even talking from next door. We where there for a sports tournament around the corner, with 7am starts so just needed a bit of quiet. Oh the unlimited wifi was great, shower, hot water great, bathroom just needed somewhere to hang towels and shelf for toiletries, makeup etc.

Clean unit.... BUT thats where it ended. We booked 2 rooms for 6 adult women. We had just completed a 3 day Badminton tournament and had the final function that night at the Hamilton Gardens. We had to ask twice to have the sofa beds in each room made up. There was NO hand soap on the basin and this during Covid. No shampoos or basic shower soap. Only 2 towels provided. We had 2 ask for an extra towel... despite the booking in the room for 3 adults. Minimal milk provided.... allowance for 1 cup only.. WIFI advertised but not functioning. Poor standard for a nearly new Motel. Not Recommended.

Horrible place, don’t ever think about staying here. Filthy room and when I asked for a clean room they were not willing to swap into a clean room. Definitely will never consider staying here again,

Comfortable bed but noisy and despite surface cleaning seeming ok don’t look under the bed! Bathroom needs upgrading and simple stuff like changing the shower curtain regularly and cleaning the vents would help.

Good location near University of Waikato. Easy walking distance to food and shopping. Safe but no staff at night. Mostly tidy. Warm with large heat pump. No carpet or rugs and non-insulated walls so can be loud. Overall, good value for money.

Worst place I’ve stayed. 3rd person in our room had cold shower. Floors filthy. Could hear everything from room above us as wooden floors. Notes everywhere threatening that if you break or lose something how much you will have to pay. Office said it would be open at 8 still wasn’t open at 9. Would never stay there again and would never recommend it to anyone.

The rooms met out needs however the walls are paper thin. Could hear doors slamming closed, other guests conversations and people partying until late despite rules stating no partying. Also had one small bottle of “free toiletries” for 4 people. Ok for 1 night stay but wouldn’t stay any longer.
