Late booking

Left our booking too late for V8 Supercars in Taupo so had to settle for what we could get. This accommodation is more of a backpackers than a hotel/ motel. Ran out of hot water this morning so a very cold shower. Next time I will book sooner

Stayed one night after motor racing. Friendly staff, clean room. No hot water for morning shower & one of the basin taps was very loose. I advised reception and was assured it would be attend to. Otherwise all good.

Window decor could do with an update especially in the lower level rooms around the courtyard area. I my opinion, blackout curtains would work much better as it appears the outside lights are left on all night! Guests departing at 5am need to be mindful of other guests who could still be sleeping and perhaps depart in a manner that avoids waking these guests. Carrying a bag rather than dragging it through the courtyard and down the steps would be a better decision!! On a positive note though, the rooms were very clean and staff friendly

Our stay was fine but the rooms were tiny. There is no room to store a suitcase flat. Bed was comfortable and showering our room was good.

The room was tired and there was very little storage which meant we had to live out of our suitcase. It is well positioned on the lake front and it was an easy walk into town.

No airconditioning. Quirky after-hours doors and limited site communication. We noticed one guest who inadvertently locked himself out of his room with his key and phone left in the room. He ended up sleeping in the hallway because there was no way to contact the desk agents.
