The motel felt tired, hot tub wasn't clean and nor was the BBQ. Guest laundry not working. Pretty basic all round in my opinion. Cheap, but not very cheerful.

We stayed at Lake Taupo Motor inn for 2 nights as a family of 4. We got lucky with the end room which had big windows and a nice view. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms nice and dark with curtains drawn. It was a nice quiet location although still super close and handy to shops, cafes and restaurants. The pool was too cold for my 4 year old however there was also a spa to warm up in. Great stay

Accomodation was average cleaned. Shower was blocked and room service was not done until we mentioned to office staff and everything was done and was in order. The only one thing is less utensils to cook. However, it is pretty good accommodation considering it is motel.
