This place was revolting I couldn’t even give it one star. It was filthy the floors were sticky there was old poo in the toilet and all around the inside of the bowl in one of the rooms, poo splattered on the wall, mould in the showers a non working spa bath, a filthy microwave and oven, grubby everything so glad we had sleeping bags! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone total health and safety risk that should be looked into unfortunately being we were on a time schedule we had no time to move elsewhere so had to suck it up - we asked for half a refund which I am still waiting to show up in my bank.

Do not recommend

Probably one of the worst motels I've stayed at. I had to park on the street. Kitchenette consisted of an electric frying pan and a microwave but no cutlery and what was there was of no use( a potato peeler and masher)!! Bathroom was dirty and the road noise was terrible.

We booked this motel in May 2018 through a very reputable travel agent but arrived on 14th February 2019 to be advised by the motel management that they had double-booked our room and our reservation had been cancelled. They stated that they had emailed our agent of this problem two months ago but this was not received. The motel management then expressed a view that we should have contacted them directly, prior to arrival, to confirm the booking which is something I have never been required to do at any of the hotels I have previously stayed in!

However, our “luck was in” as they had just received a cancellation for an upgraded premium room with sea-view. Unfortunately, our poor experience with this motel continued as we discovered the bed made up with no sheeting, soiled laundry, no lighting in the bathroom, no waste bins and a generally poor standard of cleaning.

In our three weeks travelling through New Zealand, we have enjoyed fantastic stays at many hotels and appartments, with excellent customer service and high quality accommodation ... with the single exception of Marineland Motel, Napier. Our advice to other travellers is avoid this place and find better accommodation more central in Napier.
