Hi speed wifi with sky channel

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Feb 2019
There is not thing much to do in the night time in Oamaru. So accommodation with a hi-speed internet and sky channel would be the best option. However, the room we got is very small with no sound proof. This hotel is on the main road so we can hear the noise for the whole night.
Date of stay: January 2019
Room Tip: Ground floor better so you can park your car at your front door
Trip type: Travelled with friends

Stayed at the Ascot last week for 4 days whilst visiting family in Oamaru. The price was good, the room was older but very suitable to our needs & fits in well with what Oamaru is. The staff friendly and there is a restaurant and bowling alley right next door too.

I’d stay here again no questions. It’s right in the Thames Hwy in the Nth end of Oamaru. So it’s a straight run down Sth Hwy 1 (SH1) from Christchurch Airport to here.

Reverse cycle A/C worked well, the place is clean and tidy and the beds comfy.

Gets my vote!

Clean well presented unit. Well equipped and handy location. Beds extremely comfortable and effective quiet heat pump. Not a complaint but a suggestion but a mirror in the bathroom would make shaving etc easier.

The bed was comfortable and the heat pump was a bonus there were no sky movies (which we were looking forward to.) We were greeted with a smile in reception and the manager was friendly. The room was warm.

Room tip: choose a room back from the road

Rung up got a good deal. 2 singles and a queen bed. Handy location, electric blankets, tempermental heatpump, no sky movies, good bath, leaky toilet, moths in light fixture, electric blanket on queen bed doesn't work, not too bad for the price. Would stay again if here another time.

Hi there, sorry that you felt things werent working as good as they should be, we rely on people telling us, when things arent right so we can correct them. Unfortunately first I have heard of this problem. I presume you were in room 23 upstairs according to your name on our booking grid. I have taken a note of the issues and will follow up to make sure these things are sorted out. These units have not been done up and we do hope to revamp them in the near future. We look forward to you coming again. I wonder did you tell the person on the counter of these issues? I would have been on, on this day if it is the booking I think it is and have not been told of these issues. So glad to eventually hear of them. kind regards,

We had booked this motel months in advance for the Steampunk Festival, we run a business and have a stall at the Steampunk market so this is a very important weekend for us. We received a call from booking.com at 5pm telling us that there had been an issue with our booking. When we got there we found out that Richard had put the dates into his system wrong and booked out our room to someone else. We had travelled quite away for this weekend and this is the busiest weekend of the year in Oamaru so there was very little accomodation. We tried to find out what had gone wrong and Richard would not be held responsible, he got very aggressive and threatened to effectively kick us off the premises. Booking.com managed to find us other accommodation and Richard did agree to pay the difference, and he admitted this is not the first time this has happened. This was quite a traumatic experience for us, and frankly a person like that should not be running a business. If you'd like to stay somewhere with terrible customer service, appalling management and an unprofessional attitude then go ahead and book your stay at the Ascot

I am very sorry for the experience you have had. I am one of the people who does the desk when Richard isn't there. I know how very frustrating it can be. We don't actually put the bookings on the computer. When you go thru Booking.com they totally act as agent. The booking is electronically transmitted to our Booking Grid and until you come and check in is when we find out if there is an issue. I know on talking to other motels they have similar issues and yes it is very frustrating. I am so sorry for your experience and wish you only the best for the future.

I have once been put in this situation and found it very embarrasing and frustrating as we pay Booking.com money to be an agent, and trust that they will get this right. kind regards,
