ReviewsWe perform checks on reviews.Tripadvisor’s approach to reviewsBefore posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pool was dirty. Paper thin wall and ceiling. I could hear the person in the upstairs room walking around and the rooms next door - you can hear their tv & conversations.
A lot of road workers stayed there also so I would probably not recommend it for a family as it seems like a motel mainly for people who are away for work.



In-room WIFI (free through Zenbu vouchers) is available up to 200 mb. There is also an indoor heated pool, spa and sauna, which I didn't experience. You can also order in-room breakfast up to 9 p.m. the night before and specify the delivery time; just ask for the form at the reception desk.
You can either walk or drive just down Ulster Street for fast food, grocery store or the gourmet Nosh Food Market. Within driving distance is the city centre with many restaurants, theatres, shops and services. Fountain City Motor Inn also provides a list of restaurants for delivery or takeout that can be added to the hotel bill or not.
I actually decided to stay in Hamilton since it was the midway point between Waitomo Caves and the Hobbiton Movie Set, plus I'd wanted to see Hamilton Gardens. Didn't get to see the gardens, but staying in Hamilton was a good decision. You can also pick up a map of Hamilton and they'll help you with any directions.
Great warm pool and spa.
Pros: Friendly staff, amazing value for money, easy to park, secure, warm, Large rooms
Cons: Upstairs has no lift, musty smelling hallways, not sound proof (drunk people turning up at next unit at 4am on sunday morning woke us).
"Not the back room as it backs on to the pool with only a wall and windows inbetween."Read full review
"My ground floor room looked out onto a green space. Rooms at the rear of the complex likely to have less traffic noise."Read full review
"If you are a solo travel, ask for an upstairs room as open park with no fencing right next to complex"Read full review
