Really good overnight stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Jan 2017
This Motel was really good. Clean with all kitchenette stuff, comfy beds, and spacious, with good bathroom. The owner / Manager was very friendly and really helpful when we need information, the bonus is a small swimming pool with special room for spa. Close to main road, but we have a decent sleep, no problem at all from any noises from the road. Location a bit far away from city centre, but if you have car, this should not be a problem.

We booked two rooms here for the Art Deco festival and we weren't disappointed. Clean and comfortable with all mod-cons expected for the price. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful, which improved our rating markedly.

Room tip: All rooms are good as far as I can see, except possibly for parking

We needed a rest in Napier so pulled in to the first motel we saw. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and the room warm and inviting.
All amenities were there, including a laundry and ironing board.
It was only an overnight stop but we would definiteley return.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. A special plus for the shower
Have a chat to Frank....he is lovely

Room tip: Car parks are pretty small but adequate

We came as a group to stay at this accommodation, so booked 4 rooms. The hosts are very friendly and help full.. The decor could be updated but I guess that's what you pay for. Everyone in our group we all concluded that the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathrooms could have been better. If you looking for cheap to average accommodation this would suit.
One note I was not happy with is that your parking does not line up with your room. This means that if another room user turned up late (as in our case) you get the head lights from their car shining into your room. I also could not keep tabs on our car for security and yes we had an item stolen from our car which may have not happened if our car was in front of our room.

We are very disappointed we were not able to satisfy your expectations, we have noted your concerns put practices in place to improve our standards
The configuration of our rooms are what they are because it was the way the motel was constructed and unfortunately we cannot change that
we have cctv and on reviewing failed to find any illegal activity regarding vehicle tampering
We are not a gated community so peoples movement is not restricted
we do however recommend the Police advice which is "Lock it or Lose it"
