Comfort was ok but bed too hard for my liking. The rooms need updating with efficient heat pumps and appliances such as hairdryers. Also small maintenance jobs needing to be done, eg windows sealing to prevent cold coming in.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The rooms were very clean and the bedding was spotless. But my daughter had to swap beds because the first one was so uncomfortable. We couldn't sit on the sofa as it was very worn and felt like you were falling through it. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent.
The motel in general felt bit tired, and the fittings were very dated.
It was fine for a weekend where we didn't need to stay in all of the time, and convenient for getting into the cbd and to the competition we were attending.
The room was very clean but very small. Ideal for a 1 night stay, but we were travelling around New Zealand and had a lot of luggage which had to be kept in the car. Lovely lady on reception. Would recommend paying a little extra for a bigger room.

Disliked: Amenities
Disappointed to find no milk in the fridge, rooms really need black out blinds as exterior lights make the rooms very lite up at night - curtains are very light in colour and don't block out the light. Found floor in the kitchen to be not cleaned under the table - something sticky on the floor, shower also could have been cleaner. Things like 1 wine glass was also disappointing. Nice relaxing time had in the spa - bonus!
Nice enough room, the motel is very dated and could use an overhaul. The main reason for my low scoring is the actual motel surroundings.. Junkies and drunks everywhere.
