Ok, so the room was lovely, really nice clean and spacious. Comfy beds and well priced. It was in a good location for the event we were attending. However, the walls are extremely thin we heard everything word for word including room #1 having a great time til 4:30am. Also there was no hair dryer which I’ve never come across and was a little annoying.

This motel has off site office. You have to drive there and then have drive to motel. The shower head was leaking and pink mold in the shower. Cheap bathroom. So far away town in unsafe suburb. No Sky Tv. Hear everything people doing in there room. At office they want credit card and license. When go out come into room to change things most motel not do this now problems. Office staff fake and rude.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.
