Overnight in Whangarei

This was a great budget hotel with comfortable beds. It has an unusual layout with walls at various angles. My sister and I had booked a two bedroom which was actually a one bedroom with a bed in the lounge and a seperate bedroom. It had a nice big TV with SkyTV channels. I was a bit skeptical on arrival as the hotel is on a busy road squashed between an office type building, McDonalds and a school. It looked neat and tidy with just a driveway with parking on the side and in front of the units. Would be better to get a room towards the back of the property to avoid road noise. An older type of hotel but very clean. The beds were very comfortable with clean fresh bedding. There were a few decorations too many for my taste ( plastic flowers, lacy doilys, toilet mat etc) It would be good to have some art work more in keeping with the 50's - 60's syle fittings but that is just a visual thing. The curtains could be rehung as a few hooks had come undone.

It was a hurried booking and the price was more than reasonable, so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a 1 bedroom room (I had booked a studio) with full kitchen, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner in the shower, sealed toothbrush & toothpaste packages in the bathroom. Sure the place has a bit of age on it but it was all in very clean. The beds were comfortable and the sheets had that fresh laundry smell.

The room was nice enough, would be great for families for the space and sleeping arangements and for the price. Easy parking outside of the room. The bed was pretty uncomfortable though as it was very firm, woke up after one night with joint pain all over. The room was clean but the office was small and cluttered.

I’ll stay there again if I needed to. The one thing that did put me off was a large dead cockroach on the floor. Not good.

Unplanned Short Notice Visit

We have stayed here a few times now and once again we were happy with the Motel and the support from staff. The little extra's like disposable tooth brushes and shaver in the bathroom were much appreciated and came in very handy.
