There’s much better places to stay

Curtains didn’t cover the window so it was so bright at night that I didn’t need lights. There’s no “do not disturb” that you can put on the door so they go through your room daily whether you like it or not. Awful. I asked to be switched to a room with a better curtain using the phone number they used to get ahold of me and was ignored. I am disabled so it was wonderful to watch them watch me struggle with bags.

Open shower concept in bathroom area. Floor doesn’t slope enough for water to drain so the bathroom floor was flooded with water. Didn’t dry overnight. We had to use towels provided to step on.

My unit was spotlessly clean, had everything i needed for my stay. Very comfy bed with a good amount of blankets to be warm and cosy. Heatpump in case you get cold but the unit was very warm. Motel is in a quiet location with minimal noise, the odd car going up the road but it was Friday night when i stayed. Good shower with good pressure. Location is perfect to easily get to Waikato public hospital or the private hospitals, or hamilton central shopping. This is very good value for $ and i would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

The unit was spotless, spacious and adequate to make breakfast. The air con was not cold enough, the sheets were noisy and the tv did not work. The owners were a bit short and couldn't resolve the tv issue or offer us another room.
