        “A safety concern! ”

        Self check-in was very straight forward though no staff were available during our stay. The accommodation was sufficient for us, usually not the fussiest but this stay would have been MUCH better if it wasn’t used as emergency housing. We experienced some very odd, threatening/violent and frightening behaviour, most particularly very early hours (2am & 4am) for both nights which seemed to be normal behaviour for the complex. We managed to catch a cleaner who was very lovely and accommodating, having asked for more milk. We were very appreciative of the replacement of our bath towels and emptying of our rubbish. The playground was an eyesore, pool and spa was a major let down, has clearly not been used for some time so should not be advertised as a facility. This is false advertising which use to be illegal and is more common these days. These were main factors for our decision to book here having a 3, 5 & 8 year old. Would recommend to stay clear and should only be used for Emergency housing under the current circumstances. Rubbish everywhere including dirty nappies Cons (Room 5) - The heater plug was hanging off with cables exposed (unusable) - Shower drainer broken - Rubbish bin lid in bathroom broken - Nail polish on the bed cover - 3 towels supplied for a family of 5 per day for a 2 night stay - The TVs remote control required new batteries (had no backing) - Not enough extra bedding (1 pillow, 1 blanket) for our family of 5 - There was mould on the Queen bed mattress It is a shame as it could and should be a great get away for a kiwi family

        “Great stay”

        Had to book same day. Quick and efficient. Had everything that was needed for a night stay. Spacious and comfortable. Bummer pool and spa was out of action in summer, as my children were looking forward to it. But made up for it as beach & lake are only 5mins down the road

        “Anne”

        Very good value for money, 1 bedroom was perfect for our stay,lots of space. Comfortable bed. Unit 1 bottom unit was very quiet from road noise. The only negstive thing was the unit had absolutely no eating utensils- no bread knives, forks or dessert or teaspoons, no sharp knives. Very unusual, ive never been to a motel without these before,especially when it has a kitchenette,fridge, microwave. Can proprietors please supply these. Otherwise perfect stay.

        “Wouldn’t stay ever again”

        Arrived at the hotel at 2:30 and had to sit in our car for half an hour while we waited for the room to be cleaned coz the cleaners were still in there. The foldaway bed fell when you tried to lie on it so we tried making up the sofa bed which we had trouble trying to get out and the clips were broken on it. Heaps of stains over the sofa too which was disturbing. Needs a major revamp and paint throughout and the outside needs a lot of work. They should definitely advertise that the property is also being used for emergency housing as it was obvious as soon as we drove in. People hanging out in their doorways and loud music getting blasted.

        “Not so Great stay”

        Location wise, It was good near to the place we intend to go to. As soon as we arrived at the motel there was no one in there to assist, we asked co-guest how did they check in. they said they have done online check in however we we did not receive any email for online check in instruction. We had to ring them but no one is answering. We had to ring multiple times and wait for like 15-30mins. Finally someone has come out to assist but he questioned us why there's 4 adults and a baby in one room. We have booked a family room at Agoda and it clearly says that the number of people to stay suits for the room, otherwise it would say capacity exceeded. The staff starting to ask many question and asked another staff same concerns. Eventually they have approved to let us stay. Cleanliness wise, It wasn't great. The room was tidy but dusty even the blanket and linen. It's not good for children.
