Lovely motel, busy road!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Mar 2017via mobile
We booked this motel when planning our holiday to New Zealand and did not know anything about New Plymouth or where the motel was. We were shocked when we arrived to find it was on one of the busiest roads in the area. The room we were initially allocated was a lovely room but overload adjacent houses. We asked if they had a room with a better view and were offered a one bedroomed apartment overlooking the garden and pool. The apartment was lovely and spotlessly clean. Our bedroom at the back was quiet and although there was no escaping the busy road, it was lovely to look over the lovely garden area. Owners lovely - extremely helpful and we borrowed bikes from them and cycled the coastal path.

This is a fairly decent motel in New Plymouth, like most accommodationhere, prices are a bit on the high side, however the room is comfortable and quite scenic, you are protected from Devon street by a wall and soundproofing. Parking is a bit erratic and other guests can be very noisy.
The pool is okay but has very high sides and seems to slope down in the middle, it is not the safest. I could probably rate it 3½ stars, but I did have to deal with a screechy family of teenage and child girls squealing and some slatternly looking people who lived there I think. Also a big minus for no cooking facilities beyond a microwave. Big pluses for the complete sky package of 50+ channels and the Internet being easily available.
Style is generally modern, although a bit 80s looking in places, front staff were pleasant and the standard of cleanliness was excellent.

Room tip: Ground floor is best for obese and mobility limited people, along with those with plenty of baggage as stairs narrow

Arrived to extra special touches of complimentary juice and chocolate. Rooms spacious and comfortable and relaxing spa in bathroom. Host was friendly and accommodated all our requests. Went out of her way to ensure our stay was positive and enjoyable. Well priced, would recommend.

Room tip: a number of us stayed and all were happy with their rooms.

299 Devon was just lovely. We checked in with a very warm greeting and helpful service. The upstairs unit that we stayed in was lovely warm and clean, which is a must. It even had underfloor heating in the bathroom which was great. The shower was excellent. Good quality tea and coffee. Definitely will be going back there.

299 offers extremely tidy accommodation just a 12 minute walk from the Len Lye centre and shopping district. Free bike hire - not the latest of bikes but hey save yourself the hire fee - are available free of charge to cycle the New Plymouth Walkway. Rooms are well appointed with kitchens set up for cooking if need be.
