Detailed Reviews
We recently stayed 2 nights at this motel everything was fantastic. Extremely comfortable beds very clean and tidy and also nice and quiet. We had booked online for 1 night and then were moving on with a school group but after 2 nights in a hostel and not a lot of sleep we decided to go back so after a late night phone call the owners were so pleasant and helpful!!! They had been down to our room turned the lights and made us feel very welcome even though it was as after 10pm. Highly recommended this motel to others

Bed was enormous but too soft. Room large and nice to have a couch too. Bathroom large and spacious but a bit rundown. Nice hosts and overall a pleasant and positive stay but nothing out of the ordinary although would stay there again.

Place was nice clean and tidy but beware most guest are staying through winz. Full of broken down unregistered cars. Police visited in the morning. My take is if are going to provide winz accommodation dont mix in paying guests. Although we had very little issues with the other guests me and my wife dont work full time to pay lots cash for holiday to be put in social housing. 4 stars as it was clean and tidy but if I read the last review I would of stayed elsewhere as I want to stay with other tourists not in a social housing unit.

Please dont take this as welfare bashing. I am ok paying taxes to help out the needy but putting people in motels seems crazy. Couldnt book another night in our rotorua hotel as that was getting fenced up to become another covid hotel. Kind of hard to support local economy with travel when a bunch of the hotel we stay in are becoming covid hotels and the motor lodges are full of winz clients.

Hamilton was completely booked out, and over 30 phone calls later I was about to give up hope. 8.30pm and needing accomodation after a family member had been helicoptered to the Hospital there. The lovely man at Beetham Park said he had a room available with 3 beds that would fit us.
He was very honest and said that currently the motel was being used as WINZ emergency accomodation. He said that the current tenants were respectful and would pose no problem. And if they did, he would be onsite overnight, and we could ring anytime. Didnt fill me with much hope, but I was very grateful for his honesty. Check In was next store at the Hygate Motor Lodge. The lovely gentleman had kept reception open until 10pm for us to check in.
Lots of parking, including directly outside the unit. There were a few kids running around screaming outside, among the beaten up, unregistered unwarranted cars. However once inside, we didn't hear anything, including any road noise from the busy main arterial.
Room was dated, and probably not as clean as it could have been, with cobwebs and hair. But the beds were comfortable, and the linen spotless. Good water pressure in the shower. Had a Sky Decoder, but could not get the TV to work at all. There seemed to be a cable missing.
At $220 for the night, we found it to be SEVERELY overpriced, and probably taking advantage of a booked out city. I mean really, it was a dated room, in a emergency accomodation motel. Far to expensive for the product received.
Probably would only give 2 stars, but have decided on 3 stars purely based on the Gentleman at Reception and his honesty and friendliness.

I booked this 2-bedroom unit on Wotif for $190 and apparently the normal rate is $280. I would definitely not pay that, and actually I think it is worth more like $140-$150/night. Good points - free internet and a cable supplied to you, comfortable chairs in the lounge, comfortable beds, spacious, huge TV and all the Sky channels. Points that need work - bedrooms back onto the lounge wall of the next-door unit so got woken up early by breakfast TV from next door, couch uncomfortable as is typical of most couches that are actually fold-out beds, Full kitchen but not that well equipped (e.g. no bowls to mix anything in), shower over the bath with a broken sliding door (definitely not suitable for anyone slightly elderly or unstable on their feet), and the noisiest air flow heater I have every heard (you need to turn the TV up to hear over this, also the air pumps out at about head hieght so nice and warm up by the ceiling and not so warm at seating height). Not bad. but I have stayed in better for less.

Currently this motels primary business is to providing emergency housing. They continue to take bookings from the traveling public for the Very Few vacancies. Providing this housing service is necessary - and lucrative if you maintain near to full occupancy. It’s just not smart to put travelers/tourists in this motel under these conditions. Be aware. It cost us $$$$ in stolen property.

We were literally on our last night in New Zealand and didn’t want to overnight in Auckland so we just booked something on the way to crash. This place was much more tho! It was spacious and convenient, clean and very quiet! Got a bit confused at check in as you do so in the motel next door, but other than that, very very nice stay!

Australian couple mid 60's.
We were in Unit 1, smallest unit in the motel complex and closest to the road.
The room was spacious and spotless.TV had excellent reception with Sky. Shower was hot with very good pressure. The bathroom was also spotless with no "off" smells. We did not hear any road noise during the night. Free WIFI was available in the Unit but as we did not use the Internet I cannot comment on speed or reliability.
Bar fridge, 2 hot plates, microwave oven, toaster, kettle, iron and ironing board. Cutlery crockery also provided. Washing machines are available in the guests laundry.
Overall a very nice motel which I can recommend without hesitation.
