Check in was handing us a key with no tips or advice. There was the odour of someone’s fried food in the room, leftover frozen vegetables in the fridge. The back patio? was a narrow ally with tables. The beds were soft. One pillow case has a hole in it. Overall it just felt unclean. The bathroom had been redone, but the floor tiles didn’t look clean. We stayed at this overpriced motel as there was nothing else available. I would not recommend it.

The room is spacious, clean and tidy. It is close to the main road but unaffected by any traffic noise. The bed is comfortable. The kitchenette provides enough facilities for you to prepare the meals using microwave. One issue is that the ventilation fan inside the washroom is noisy during operation but can be turned off before going to sleep.

The room is very costly for motel standard. We have booked the room of 1 double + 1 single only to be told this is for 2 pax! Last minute being asked to top up NZD123 to accommodate 2 kids. The room is dated with basic necessities, hot water run out in the middle of shower and the bed is soft with parts sunk in.

Unfortunately, our room was occupied by another guest. The reception was already closed, but we were able to contact them by phone. The situation was resolved, and we were spontaneously given another room of the same size. However, the room had a connecting door to the next room that couldn't be closed, and it smelled like a nursing home. The ventilation in the bathroom was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire building. Nevertheless, we slept unexpectedly well.

The hotel is located just across from the bus station. Although it is a motel, the room facilities fully meet the living purpose of non-self-driving travel. It is clean and comfortable, and the room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors has good light.

The room was quite clean, but it rained the day we went there, and the room smelled a bit musty. I didn't get a good night's rest. It might be because the humidity on the West Coast is too high.
