2/10 Poor

Run down
The room was old and run down. The curtains were falling off the railings. The entire room wasn’t a great place to stay, I will never return and if I could have left immediately upon entering the room I would have done so. NOT value for money at all!

The room temporation was cool even without aircon. No staff at reception for check in or check out. Human interaction was lacking.

The Property Manager was excellent, but the motel units are extremely tired and need upgrading. The bathrooms in particular were not up to standard. It is a good location.

We felt the property could do with some basic maintenance and there wasn't enough towels or kitchen dishes for a family of 5.
Catherine, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

There were no staff at the property for our whole 8 day stay. We stayed over the Christmas period & only had evidence of staff providing new towels on 2 days. Property location is ok if you have a car. Property is quite dated but reasonably clean. Bathroom & kitchen really need to be updated. A very average stay, ok as we were just sleeping there & out all day visiting family.
Julie, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok for price, just needs a few things.
Office is not manned, Need to call and then they get someone to come see you. The unit we stayed in was tidy, but quite old. The stair and doors squeaked quite loudly. No Cutting board, only one small dull cutting knife, no vegetable peeler, no grater. Had free washing machine, and there was some washing powder there. One dryer did not work (discovered this when i returned 40 mins later. the other one did work. Had issue using Netflix on the TV the 3rd and 4th night (own account), but had worked first couple nights.

Nice apartment with amenities
Nice apartment. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, with some supply of condiments. Room had washer/dryer which is a plus. No receptionist & although I emailed my time of arrival as advised, there was no person who came to let us in. It was good someone helped us call the number provided. To call them myself would cost me much as I’m a out of the country tourist.

Average hotel
Quiet hotel, fairly conveniently located to get into Wellington, clean but a bit dated and in need of a bit of tlc.

An Emergency Shelter more than Motel
Shouldn't be on this website. It's a motel used for emergency accommodation, so a very transient and unomfortable feeling from occupants. The owners are never at the front desk. They make you call a mobile and wait ages. They have a permanent note on the office window saying "Due to a staff shortage emergency..." They act like they dont understand English, when clearly they do. It is clean, but thats its only redeeming feature.

The toilet seat was not staying standing up, need to replace it maybe. There was spider webs the carpet needs to be washed off, so over all needs to look after property. The staff who attended was so rude.

8/10 Very good

Overall I liked the property and the area it was in. Close to the hutt river and a little park and other motels. Walking along the river was very healing. I liked the architecture. It seemed very 1980's and like a dutch style. The room was nice and cool and had good solid walls. The bathroom was great. A few things that would've made it better... the light bulb in one of the lamps was out. Flannels are pretty much a necessity to just wipe the day away from the face. Internet connection in and out but that may not be the fault of the motel. With x generation perseverance I just kept reconnecting and eventually we got to watch terminator 2 which was really cool. My thanks to the owners. I enjoyed my stay.

Unwelcoming... no staff onsite to greet you. Below average cleanliness. No extra blankets or pillows. Small supply of tea/coffee and milk. Only thing i really liked was it was quite.
