    We thought the outdoor appearance around the back let the place down badly. A good clean up would make a big difference to the ambience and general feelings about the Motel.

    Location was perfect.

    Bed was pretty average and quite uncomfortable, pretty dated and at over $200.00 per night would have expected to be a bit nicer.

    Great location, very helpful staff

    Our bed was unfortunately not comfortable so both my husband and myself had a restless night of broken sleep.

    We loved the location and the room itself had nice facilities. The customer service was great and they let us leave our vehicle there while we popped out to get breakfast after checkout.

    The room was a bit bijou with not much space to lay out suitcases.

    Great location. Room was clean & had everything we needed. On our last morning, we were able to leave our car in the car park after checkout while we did a final trip.

    Bed mattress not comfortable. Brown throw pillow in room 15 was threadbare. Made the linens look very used.

    Nice selection of breakfast drinks. Front desk replaced small bottle of milk every day for me. Enoughcoat hangers. Good kitchen space.

    Overall our room was quite tired looking. Stains on the carpet and the vanity in the bathroom is need of an update. The shower door didn't shut properly.

    The location was just perfect, so close to everything. Very friendly staff. Beds were comfortable. We were able to leave our car parked there for the morning after we checked out while we went on a boat cruise which was very much appreciated.

    Reasonably expensive for the age and condition of property but Paihia is expensive.

    Close proximity to town and two doors up from the four square and next door to police station so nice and quiet.

    The location was good. A supermarket, cafès, restaurant, and the wharf were in short walking distance. The room was clean. I stayed for only 1 night. Wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.

    The parking is tight and the lighting to the upstairs wasn’t working so we used our phones as torches. Otherwise all was ok.

    If you're looking for somewhere very close to town, this is the one for you.

    The room was small and weirdly configurated. My bathroom window opened out to the back yard of the owners home/flat so I had to keep it closed. Ripped curtains on the windows and door and some mould on the bathroom mirror but other than that it was livable. I don't think I'll stay here again. The Bounty or Dolphin are better value for money and only another 50 to 100 metres away.

    The location. It's right in town so you can basically walk put of the driveway and you're at the stores and restaurants. Nice staff who made checking in easy and it tried one of the chocolate candies at the reception desk. Nummy 😁
