Couldn't Have Asked For More

Stayed for two nights on a business trip and I could not have asked for more really. Firstly would love to thank the owner, sorry didn't catch your name but you were amazing. Really looked after us and went above and beyond to make sure your guests are having the best stay. The room I had was immaculate, recently refurbished and had everything you needed including Sky TV. The only negative point I could make is to have a taller shower but wasn't a major issue. Thanks again and hopefully will stay again for our next trip down.

Sparkling clean and family-friendly

Kids loved having a trampoline and pool on site. Parents loved the cleanliness and customer service! Family unit was perfect layout for a family of four. Staff members were very friendly and welcoming.

Not Family Friendly Whatsoever

We were 4 adults 1 child staying in Room 17. Great cleaners I should know as have been a cleaner 35 years in all aspects of the cleaning industry.motels/hotels included and have stayed in so many nice room but that's the only good point.we had a visitor and 2 children added to the mix they were laughing having fun we sat down to dinner and were conversing with each other the children were eating at the coffee table the motelier come up to tell us to lower our voices as there were workers downstairs from us so all through the catchup of my nieces they were whispering HOW RUDE!! because they did not want to make a noise the children did not once jump around they were told to whisper not make a noise. Next morning rang and asked if we could rebook for another night and were told room was taken of course we knew this to be a lie so stripped beds tidied our mess left our rubbish behind told the cleaning lady so ensured dishes were done as I know they have to rewash all the dishes again (well we always did in the motel I worked in) even put the sofa bed back together that is how we roll as a whanau try to make it a little easier on the cleaners and not leave a mess for someone else to clean..found another friendlier motel more private and relaxing Ambassador Motor Inn made us feel like we were on tenderhooks walking on eggshells when the manager told us to keep our voices down it was on the tip of my tongue to remind her that it is a motel different story if we were boozy loud and proud but that just made matters and staying there crap really.. as for asking to rebook the child with us was going back to her home in Tauranga one of my nieces and I had just finished the Targa motorsports Rally my other niece fell ill and ended in Tauranga Hospital which was the reason we were in Tauranga we were told by Manager that we could rebook if we needed the only reason we did ask to rebook was to save the hassle of finding another motel so in hindsight her NO was a godsend and we found a much better and relaxing place the laundry was right next door to our room a bonus for us. Recommendation Not family friendly Manager patrols the area so if you want to stay in a motel thats not a motel this is the place to be so Ambassador Motor In you need to change your amenities availability and take away the family friendly because for a Motor Inn/Motel you truly are not I can imagine how those WINZ clients feel poor kids!!…

Worst motel i have stayed in the last 5 years

This motel charged me $290 for 2 nights accommodation. I have stayed in better backpackers for $35 a night. The room was damp, smelly and cold. The door was faulty and felt very unsafe. The billboard saying 50+ sky channels was essentially a lie as the sky cable in the room was broken. The man who checked me in was rude and unfriendly. Please do not stay here if you would like a nice time in the lovely city of tauranga.
