Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Property was clean but very tired and in need of a refresh (pealing paint, marks, etc). Nothing to directly complain about or need immediate fixing, just a general feel that I expected better, and that only essential maintenance was being done. (But this was a similar quality standard in many of the other N.I. motels we stayed in during the trip). The host was very helpful. Acceptable night layover between Auckland and Wellington.

It was worth the money for a single night stay, I wouldn’t recommend this one for more than a night or if you can make it to Rotorua.

Tired property with very poor wifi
The property is a bit tired and the rooms have a musty stale smell. The wifi is appalling - poor signal, slow, drops out all the time clumsy log-on system which you have to redo every time the phone is off. There were cockroaches in the room.
