We been to spend a night and found room with full of mosquitoes on the ceiling, die mosquitoes on the bed/pillows. Bathroom wall is full of mosquitoes. Terrible experience. It`s worst ever room I have been too. Very Very low standards. I reached Taupo late night and have no options to change it. I have to wake full night to look after kids that mosquitoes not bit them around. This should has to report to local Council to look into the hygiene standards of this Inn. Never ever recommend anyone to stay here.

Our room was situated right behind a bar and restaurant that stayed open till midnight and was extremely noisy till late into the night. When I approached the motel manager he was rude and accused me of moaning about things as if it was something you should just put up with paying well over $200 per night Do not stay there

The room condition was very poor and poorly maintained. There was evidence of mould and an effluent leak in the sewerage on to the bathroom floor. Requires inspection by booking sites.

An earlier stay on other side of property encouraged us to stay again on way home from trip despite thinking we had booked same accomadation we were shown to a different side area .Check in was not pleasant .on entering room smelt .usty .faded pink polar fleece down end of bed .cobwebs around air conditioner .As we had business in Taupo left our bags and returned some hours later.Black mould in corners of windows .bath not clean .bath surrounds peeling.taps an handles encrusted with rust .couldnt get tv to work properly curtains well past prime .Went out to dinner at nearby restaurant .when we got back discovered used condom on floor when we moved a bed side table for better access .On complaining to reception got the its a cheap room what do you expect attitude .we were somewhat surprised it seemed same rate as other stay .She accompanied us to room with as much bad grace as possible .When shown condom she said what do you want me to do about it ?do you want me to remove it .????After a very unpleasant exchange we were made to feel our expectations re cleanliness to high. It was a cleaner not doing her job .we persisted although told no other vacancies but were eventually given another room .constantly being made to feel we were unreasonable.My husband raised his voice admittedly trying to explain issues but the owner who was called kept referring to us kiwis who wanted things for nothing and basically accused 2.72 year olds of planting black mould and condom

The shower was unsafe, no hand rails, no where to put soap, face cloth etc,in the shower and towel rail broken. Because there is a step up and into the shower, there definitely needs some firm handrail.
