Still glad we stayed though. It's a nice, quite, clean motel. Management are helpful and accommodating and the housekeeping does an excellent job.
Great range of TV channels and everything you need need if you like to cook in the kitchenette.
Fraser Cove shopping centre is across the road with late night shopping available. Can also walk down to the water.
Everything you need is close by.
Thanks for a pleasant stay.
Enjoyed large indoor mineral pool that closed 8pm. would have preferred open later maybe 10pm. Handy location close to Fraser Cove Shopping Centre.
Staff very welcoming and helpful.
Will stay again
It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Nothing to fancy. The Sky TV was nice.
The shower gave good hot water pressure and there was plenty of towels.
I didn't use the spa, as it was too hott.
Will be back if I need it.



There is no difference between what you get here than in any other 'standard' motel that I have stayed in at Tauranga — just the inflated price — and I have been doing so for ca 2X/year since 2011.
I have taken photos.
NB: roughly around 6 pm the reception appeared closed. The norm in Auckland, which can be used as a base model for comparison to this place, is roughly from ca 7 am till 9 pm, every day. I can provide empirical data.
Clean and tidy rooms though bit of a mix up when we arrived as we were supposed to have a 2 bedroom apartment but were given a one but the lady at reception happily moved us with no issues. Very friendly and helpful.
Nice hot pool to have a soak in before bed.
Would stay again when in the area.
Place quite run down. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Beds are squishy and uncomfortable.
Thermal pool is nice for a soak but also a bit run down.

"All rooms seem OK. There is some traffic noise from nearby Fraser street, but it's not overly intrusive."Read full review
