    I didn’t like that it was hyped up to be a ‘king suite’ with all these amazing things, but the floors and walls were quite scuffed and dirty looking. The room, facilities, and space were amazing, but the quality of the room was subpar. It was also quite difficult to find a park.

    I liked the location, how spacious the room was, and how kind the staff were.

    Very big room with a massive TV. The beds were very comfy as well. Great balcony and views.

    The decor is a little dated and the kitchen cupboard doors need to be replaced as the heat from kettle and cooker has affected them. Being on Marine Parade it is obviously noisy from early morning until the evening but quiet overnight.

    The location was good over looking the sea and easy walk along Marine Parade to shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Some people may find it quite a long walk. Bed very comfortable , bed linen good and towels a decent size.

    There was nothing that concerned us

    The view was great and location is very central. Room is a little tired but clean and comfortable. Price was great and value for money. Would book again when next in Napier. We left a pillow in the room by mistake and when I called the staff member- Sarah was very helpful in arranging the return of this pillow

    We were on the second floor which meant lots of steps as there was no lift (except for luggage). Being there on Friday and Saturday nights, the local traffic and nightlife was a bit noisy.

    Lovely view out over the waterfront, comfortable room and bed. Plenty of places to eat within a short walking distance.

    It was a bit overpriced compared to other seaside motels.

    Nice quality Motel with spacious room, large jacuzzi tub, and nice deck looking out at the sea. It was a 10 minute walk to the downtown along the beachfront. Laundry facilities were available as well as parking.

    Paid extra for breakfast, which wasn't provided by the hotel. Instead, it was at an Indian restaurant next door and was disappointing.

    The room was great, overlooking the ocean and a well equipped kitchen for our needs. Easy walk into town down marine parade while enjoying the view.
