Pretty much what I expected

Review of Midway Motel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 May 2022
We had a one bedroom unit so had plenty of space. After eating out we made use of Sky movies to watch a film. We slept well and all facilities were fine. Dedicated parking and given the motel is at the rear of the property you don't get traffic noise

Great place to stay - we didn’t have a booking but that wasn’t a problem. Staff at check in were great. The room was very clean and well appointed. Double glazed windows kept the road noise to a minimum. Wifi worked well. Plenty of choices of channels on Sky. I’d definitely come back.

Absolutely disgusted with the way I was treated. Talking after midnight got me a rude encounter with the owners who threatened police action and to kick us out. It was normal talking between two people not a party. Can’t believe they still get business they way they treat people. Spoke with all the other customers the following morning and they all said they heard nothing until the madam who runs the place cause the ruckus like a stampeding herd. Will never be staying there again. Not to mention the rock hard beds and older then the hills appliances. Could of heat the room better with a candle. A++ for abuse.

Good place to stay enroute to Christchurch and with a surrendiptitous discovery of old Oamaru, Victoria Street and area.

Large rooms, clean and adequate heating. Only issue is the slippery staircase up to the second floor.

Easy parking and friendly reception.
