What guests think

At Apple Motor Inn, travellers describe budget-friendly stays in older, well-worn units, with mixed cleanliness and maintenance, thin walls that allow noise, and a pool that often needs attention, balanced by generally friendly staff and a handy location near town.

Rooms are basic and dated; some guests found comfortable beds and hot showers, while others reported missing air conditioning and maintenance issues. Several reviews mention late-night noise from other guests and occasional concerns about the mix of long-term or seasonal residents. If price and location are your priorities, this motel can be a simple, short-stop option.

The accommodation was spacious and comfortable but lacked adequate cooking facilities. I felt it was unhygienic not to have a separate basin for washing dishes. We were concerned that the fire doors were in need of repair and there were no smoke detectors or evacuation instructions. The swimming pool needed cleaning although good to have one.

Chose this place because it was pet-friendly but it was inadequate in every way and nothing like how it was advertised. Bedding and towels were well worn and marked. Other residents seemed to be in emergency accommodation. Pool was unusable.

We stayed one night in Hastings to break up an otherwise longer journey. The motel was OK, probably one of the cheapest but nothing to write home about. No air conditioning but they did provide a fan.

Entering the property looked liked it had been abandoned. The front portion of the dwelling look liked it had had no maintenance, no care for several years. Basics were missing in the room- no shampoo in the room. no welcome note from the owners on the table, nor any folder with information about the motel, shops, restaurants and facilities.

It was easy to check in and check out. Plenty of parking. Staff were smiling and accommodating. What was annoying was that the building wasn't soundproof. The toilet flushing was so loud that one can hear conversations in the room next door. No airconditioner in the room.

Then we found a baby cocroach running across the table. We were not put off by this.These things happen. Would still come back. Found it hard at night to find the entrance into the motel. Over grown shrubs or plants. But overall my stay was enjoyable. I will be back again Thanks

Although the unit we stayed in (#13) was very dated, and needs a complete renovation, the unit was clean and tidy. There are catches on the windows so they can be locked open, but unfortunately anyone can put an arm in to unlock the catch, and climb in. The bathroom and kitchen windows are up high and have security stays. The area seemed safe and was very quiet at night - the bed was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast. Carparking was ideal, just outside our door. We noted the kitchen vinyl flooring has been patched, and we felt one of the bathroom walls need replacing. We attended a concert and this was fine for what we needed (somewhere to stay the night after the concert). The TV had good reception, and a couch in the room was an added bonus, as was the dining table and 2 chairs. Didn't have time to use the swimming pool or the laundry. Ideal location close to Hastings CBD.

It is generally clean, staff is friendly. The property is old, facilities is average. They don't have shampoo and shower gel, so just need to remember to bring them. surrounding not feel very secured, some random person just always stay outside, not fully fenced and exclusive to the guests stay.
