Basic, small but what we needed

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Jul 2020via mobile
Basic small motel room. But quiet, cosy and just what we needed. Room had just small kitchenette with microwave and kettle but larger communal kitchen just a few rooms down provided what we needed to cook and eat in. Kitchenette and table felt small and cramped but otherwise all ok.

I stayed here with family at short notice and was pleasantly surprised with this great little hotel. Rooms are very clean and bedding is quite comfortable. We had three beds in the room and still had space to move around. The room even had a small area for coffee and tea making and a dining table and chairs too. Amenities are excellent for washing and drying clothes and an iron is available along with washing powder from the front office. I did notice a communal kitchen area that would be great for cooking easy meals. I would not hesitate to stay here again and the host was very helpful. Thank you and hope to see you again soon.

This is a great little old motel in the heart of Blenheim. The rooms were actually a decent size with good amenities. Is easily stay here again next time I was looking to stay in Blenheim while on a budget.

We needed a night’s stay in Blenheim, that would also take a dog. And Raymar fitted the bill.

It was very clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. We would happily go back again. Came with fridge, milk, tea and coffee and sugar, plenty of plates and mugs and glasses. Wifi and bedding and towels and soap.

For NZD$113 I really can’t see how we would have done better.

Close to town centre, yet not a particularly busy road either, car parking right outside.

It’s not top top luxury but it was very good.

We recently stayed at this complex on an overnight trip to blenheim. I found the room to be roomy, and looked to be redecorated/modernised. When we booked we specifically asked for a room off the road so we were somewhat dissapointed when we checked in and seen our room was right on the road front but as the complex was fully booked it was either take the room we had been allocated or leave it. In the end it wasn't the road noise that was bothersome for us infact there was no noise from the road at all, it was the clunking, buzzing, sloshing and wurring of the very sick sounding fridge that bugged us all night
sadly we couldn't turn it off as we required some medication to be refrigerated .despite sleep qaulity being poor The beds were actually quite comfortable and a fan was provided for the hot night. definately no frills and very very overpriced for what it was but good enough for a one night stay.

But perfectly acceptable and a comfortable place to sleep. Terms are cash or debit card only (to keep costs down). It seems strange today that credit cards are not acceptable; apparently the cost to the motel to take a $120 payment by credit card would be around $5, and adding that to the price for payment by credit card would be acceptable as the cost of convenience to many travellers.
Shower head is at shoulder height, which is not convenient, and the temperature control is coarse - it's hard to select a temperature between brrr and ouch, though with patience and fine motor control it can be done,
We were made welcome and staff were very helpful.
