Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before 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.

Nearly the only motel with a spare room, check in was easy though talking into an intercom was a little nerve racking. Once checked in was shown where room was the room was comfortable with a large spa bath to enjoy. The power did go out during the night which was weather related. Bed was comfortable, and sleep was good. Very friendly lady behind the counter.

Very good motel, clean and central, easy to reach. It was suggested by the local tourist office and i could visit also the Hamilton Gardens, which are impressive too. Nearby the motel you'll find shopping and eating facilities too.

Helpful host; a comfortable, clean and well-appointed room. Convenient location. Good Wi-Fi. The hostess went above and beyond with service. The bedroom, despite being at the street-side, was quiet. The plasma screen was huge.

I have never been so abused by the manager of this hotel. Rude, Bad Tempered and absolutely shocking. I also happen to notice that I am not the only one to mention this. I am totally surprised how you manage your hotel with your shocking abuse. Good luck finding guests, as I will certainly book else where

Very nice room, lovely people, outdoor hot tub was brilliant. We stayed 1 night on a 21 day tour of NZ.
Hamilton town isn't that interesting but Hamilton Gardens are brilliant. Worth visiting the area just to see them.

What a friendly manager/owner? He was so friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and tidy. Was lovely having a kitchenette with cooking facilities. Were getting tired of eating out. Beds were comfy and warm. Free car parking. We sat out on balcony in the sun for lunch. Would definitely stay here again

We had booked at Motel 6 across the road from this one. On arrival we were told we would be accommodated at Ulster Motor Lodge (apparently the same management). Owner was happy to change our unit when we found the one assigned to us had the queen bed in the lounge rather than in the bedroom as expected. We had an upstairs unit. At $82 for the night this was a pleasant surprise. The unit was very clean - looked as if it may have been redecorated recently - well lit - although basic it had everything we needed down to bottle and tin openers. However you had to request a hairdryer if you needed one. ( not sure if there was an iron or if you requested that as well?)The information folder needed updating with nearby facilities e.g. where to eat. There was a mess of brochures under the TV. Free wifi was available through Motel 6's network.
The pull down sofa in the lounge was very hard and uncomfortable - needs some padding - there was also a more comfortable single bed in the lounge. The TV was an older model (the room next door had a flat screen) and reception was a bit snowy. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to be able to have windows open through the night. Although close to the main road traffic noise was not too bad - perhaps if you are a light sleeper you may notice it. Very close to the stadium - there was a big game on the night we were there but noise was minimal. There are plenty of food outlets nearby - we had nice Thai food from Classic Thai. Would stay again if in Hamilton for short stay.

Room Tip: Upstairs but be aware you have to carry bags up - middle of the row so you have fewer passersby.
