Hi there,
Thanks for leaving us this review!
We are working on increasing our online presence, which is why you are getting such a late response.
My family are the 'new' owners of Carrington Motel and have been here less than a year!
Our reception area is now smoke free.
Our rooms are aired out during cleaning and sprayed with a pleasant room spray. We have been working on updating our rooms, and they may also have been updated between your stay and us purchasing the motel.
All rooms have heaters and spare blankets provided.
We sincerely hope that if you visit us again you will enjoy your stay with us.
Thanks again.
Stayed here for two days and it had everything thing we needed. Walking distance to the town, with shops and restaurants / bars. It also has parking outside the apartment and laundry facilities near the reception. You can also pay extra for breakfast in the morning...they even give you different options for your choice of breakfast for different prices! Definitely a good choice.
The rooms were very spacious and clean, with kitchenettes . It was a short drive to the shopping mall. We are especially thankful to the hosts who have let us use their grill and picnic area- this was our 2nd night in New Zealand and was the most pleasant one. We have arranged our own dinner and had a great time. Didn't use the breakfast. We've got granted a limited use of internet data which was also very helpful. We would return !
The beds were rather springy and not that comfortable. The room was tired and could do with an update but was clean. There was adequate parking and no noise so overall it was acceptable for the price.
I found this place through a visit to the I Site in town. Because I wanted to be able to walk into town and not to spend too much money, the Carrington was perfect. When I saw the place I decided to stay two nights. The place is clean and spacious.
A clean and well-equipped motel which had everything we needed for a one night stay. Its 's on a fairly busy road so ask for a room at the back if this is likely to bother you. Half of the rooms are on the upper level with a challenging set of stairs to negotiate, especially if you are carrying heavy luggage so, again, ask for the ground floor if this is likely to be an issue. It's far enough out of town to be away from the busiest streets, but is a close enough to walk in about 20 to 30 minutes.
