Detailed Reviews
After one night here I'd stay here any time we're in Hamilton (we're planning another trip for October). The room was immaculately clean, better than the vast majority of 4 and 5 star hotels I've stayed in around NZ. Plus it was really well equipped from the spa bath plus a separate shower to really good quality sheets on a really comfy bed.
A great welcome on arrival and when we asked about dining suggestions, nothing was too much trouble. The guy on reception took the effort to understand what we were looking for and to help us find a great restaurant (Gothenburg), making sure we had a map plus locations for other places if we didn't like the look of the first choice.
Whilst we didn't have time to use the pool, it looked well kept and a fellow guest seemed to be enjoying it.
The hotel is over the road from the stadium, so perfect if you're there for an event, but if not then if one is on it may be impacted by event noise (there wasn't an event on when we stayed).
Checkout was super smooth and the same person was on from the night before who asked how our night was and took notes to help guide future guests.
If only there was a place like this ever where I went to...

Hi QuantumChaos, Thank you for taking the time to leave such amazing feedback - we loved having you here, so we're happy that you loved your stay, it truly made our day to receive such a generous review! You can't go wrong with Gothenburg, and we're glad that you enjoyed it. There are some really great restaurants in Hamilton. I really appreciate the kind comments on the guy at reception (me, haha). It was very nice to meet you both, and a pleasure to help you out during your time in Hamilton. We look forward to seeing you again! Michelle & Alexei Park View Motor Lodge

The staff was friendly and professional . The rooms were very clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed. The location is quiet but not within walking distance to restaurants or shops. A cooked breakfast delivered to your door is offered for an additional fee and it was delicious. Parking was right at your door. There is no elevator so a ground floor room can be requested.

Hello debraL1232RC, Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us, and appreciate your kind comments regarding the cleanliness. We are also glad that you were able to take advantage of our location - it's great to be within walking distance of restaurants, shops and supermarkets, but still be on a considerably quiet street. Most of all - thanks for mentioning our breakfast! We always try our very best, so to hear that it was delicious is truly a great compliment! Thanks again, Michelle & Alexei Park View Motor Lodge

After enjoying our first stay here about 9 months ago, this was our first choice for our latest visit and the excellent standards set that time were matched or even exceeded!
The hosts are amazing. My partner asked about a newspaper as she loved the crosswords, so a few hours later when getting back from dinner out, there were multiple copies of newspapers complete with cryptic crosswords to solve.
The room was great, well equipped and cleaner than just about any hotel including 4 /5 star hotels I visit very often in Wellington.
I've zero hesitation in recommending this place and we'll be back here the next time we're down from Auckland.

Beautiful, clean motel. Its the little touches as well....extra blankets in wardrobe should you need them, makeup facecloth with make up remover. Pool lovely and clean along with the hot pool and sauna. Spa bath in the bathroom was a huge hit with the granddaughter. Breakfast delivered to room on time. I only got to meet Donald and he was an absolute character...friendly and amusing. This will be my first choice if I have to stay in Hamilton again. Many thanks.

We stayed 29thApril. This has been so far the absolute best place we have stayed so far in our 12 days of a 22 day stay in the North Island which we commenced in Auckland.
Very very clean, very roomy, excellent friendly managers (I think they were the owners).
I have a very very high standard when it comes to cleanliness and this place was right up there. I check behind curtains, the back of lounges, under the bed as well as the usual bathroom checks etc.
The only thing I can fault is that there was no full lenght mirror but I am not letting that take away from 5 stars...but owners please take note.
Highly recommend...but just check there is not a footy game on as it is next to the stadium unless you are going to the game....heaven for you
Loved our stay here.

We checked in to Park View Motor Lodge and were greeted by Alexie and Michelle, a wonderful young couple who exemplify the new breed of Motel Management in New Zealand.
Because I am weeks away from a Hip Replacement, they immediately changed my Upstairs room to a Downstairs room with easy access.
We were not disappointed, Bedroom, Bathroom, Spare Bedroom for the 2 Kids we did not bring with us, and all the SKY Channels we could ask for.
We did not even have to share the SKY with the Kids we did not bring with us.
We loved our time at Park View.
The Housekeeping staff transformed our Apartment into something Brand New on our return from a great time shopping at Hamiltons awesome Malls and Shopping Centres.
We did so much during our stay that I even forgot aout going to Sky City Casino, and I am a Huge Gambler.
Take the Odds out of the Equation and book a certainty here at Park View Motor Lodge.

The motor lodge is located adjacent to Waikato rugby stadium. The rooms were clean and tidy, we were on the ground floor and despite being fully booked we didn't notice any significant noise at night. The management were friendly and we enjoyed our stage very much

What a great motel. We had searched online and looked at a number of places in Hamilton, but the reviews on Park View were outstanding so it was a no brainer. Best option was also to book direct...better deal than via any of the booking pages.
We were coming to Hamilton for a Funeral and these guys were also kind enough to contact us on our way to Hamilton to say we could have the room earlier so we could rest and change first...outstanding!!!
Awesome room that was clean and tidy and very comfortable. Just a shame there wasn't a rugby match on as right outside the motel entry was Waikato Stadium.
Highly recommend and certainly if ever need to stay in Hamilton this will be the place for us.

I stayed here with my daughter on the recommendation from a friend. We were so impressed, it felt very clean, modern and safe. The staff were attentive and beds were made each day. The room was well appointed with comfy beds and a great shower. The pool was great and the spa so relaxing.
We will definitely be coming back!
