Ascot Oamaru Motel

The room was good and well set out but there was not much parking.

Great place to stay. Central clean.

Receptionist was very helpful, large room and great pub next door.

We had a lovely tidy big room with separate bedroom. It warm and quiet. Had beds for 5 but only 2 chairs at the table and a 2 seater sofa. Would havd needed more plates if there'd bern more of us. A good place to stay with the restaurant and phoenix entertainment centre next door. Would stay again.

The motel was spotlessy clean, warm and cosy and the bed was super comfortable - everything you expect in a motel. Parking around the unit is a bit inconvenient if all the units are full, as they were when we were there. Our unit surroundings were pretty basic - it looks like they were stuck out the back as an after-thought - maybe they were and the finishing touches haven't been done yet. We would stay there again though.

Good location and clean inside, Outside lots of smoke buts around.

Easy parking

Room suited our purpose for a nights stay. Room was warm and comfortable. Had obviously been done up and was perfect for a cheap nights accommodation. Staff friendly. Outside area a bit run down.

No towels were provided and the layer of dust around the place was so thick you could see it. Beds were comfy. Location was great with the free parking but we weren't prepared to arrive to the shipping containers, old furniture and outside area looking like a an unorganized mess.

Dishes in the room were dirty. Unfriendly reception and no parking.

Clean, spacious and the shower was awesome

Cleaning was great, staff very friendly and obliging

Very neat and clean accommodation My family enjoyed this stay

Værelset lugtede grimt og beskidt. Sofa og stole med kraftige spor af div klamme væsker/ snavs. Lagner og håndklæder var rene og sengene ok Mega koldt toilet. Køkkenet var sparsomt og med en møj beskidt airfryer. Bonus det var kun en nat og billigt

Rented 2 rooms. 1 was not bad at all but the 2nd had hair, toenail clippings, dust and spider webs.

Our room was meant to be delux but had stains and burn marks on the duvay. Light switches covered in gods knows what, dirty benches, for what was meant to be 200 a night definitely not acceptable. They did refund my money no problem but just disgusted with condition.

Black Mold on bathroom roof

Do not let rhe outside deter you. Super clean. They have to replace their shower heads but other than that, very comfortable. Inside newly refurbished.

Looked pretty average from the outside, but the room was a real surprise - fresh decor, spacious, great bathroom, and no road noise despite the trucks regularly passing on the main road. Would definitely recommend.

Next to the main road. Feels like the trucks are going thru the bedroom. Restaurant was closed. Won't stay there again.

excellent shower, where the carpet met tiles the sharp pins caught in my feet, an excellent way to catch Hep C, the road in front is very noisy it’s earplugs to get to sleep

A very comfortable, spacious & clean unit. Would definitely stay there again

Very roomy and nicely decorated room. Walked into the bathroom and wow, what a surprise. Was just beautiful.

Travelled for a Sports Trip with son - had everything we needed and was spacious and comfortable

Rooms would of been great 20 years ago Very dated. Needed new drapes, daylight all night long with the street lights shining in Room was clean, bed comfy

Did not have a King size bed as advertised. Room was located across from bin area behind reception. Dirty dishes in cupboard, previous guests items still in freezer, and soap running down walls under vanity. Appreciate the room has been recently renovated and reasonably comfortable, but air con located over bed is not ideal to sleep. Need to think about room layout. Blinds would not close. Blackout curtains may help.

Room was tight and tired. Curtains lacking hooks and glides and not easy to close/open. No hook in bathroom on which to hang clothing. Placement of couch facing out from under the TV was bizarre.

Dated but clean. Only issue was that being a street front room it would benefit immensely by having blackout curtains

Friendly owners n staff. Been staying at this motel a few times per year whilst travelling South for a few years.

There was no continuous reception at this motel and no telephone in the room. I felt isolated, as my mobile phone was not working in NZ. I also felt that the bathroom facilities were a little cramped and very old.fashioned The shower worked fine. The owner was friendly, but was obviously stressed by the job.

No one at reception, phone number on door didn't work. Waited half an hr., then finally found number on website. Reception mostly closed. Only 1 TV station available, tho Netflix advertised. Asked staff to fix twice - they were nice enough, but never got fixed. Grit or sand on kitchen area floor when we arrived, not swept in the 3 days we were there.

Cleaning was great, staff very friendly and obliging

Receptionist was very helpful, large room and great pub next door.

The reception had very bad service, I went to reception to ask the wifi password, the old lady told me: " Go back your room to check the Service Guide book！" I said: "Do you have a service book here, please? can you please tell me where it is? I can not find it. "she got a service book from her back seat desk and opened the page said:"It's on the third paragraph , go back to your room to check " I said :"Can you pass this book let me see please? " she just put the book back to where it was and said again:" Go back to your room check it!"......I was stayed two nights, but first day I had very cold night without heatpump, I have to use my outdoor sleeping bag and covered my jacket sleeping over night. When I find the heatpump doesn't work, i went to reception(around 11pm), there was lights off and no one here, so I didn't call them, They gave me a heater next day, the room attendant and other stuff was nice, she said sorry, we couldn't do anything until next Tuesday, because it is long weekend.when I plugged the power, I saw here already had another heat behind the sofa, It is clear that there was knowledge the heatpump was not working as there turned out to be a heater there already behind the sofa. so I understand they sale the unqualified room to the guest, I was not informed of this at all and had a freezing first night. ......

Great for a late arrival, with friendly phone service.

Excellent value for money. Friendly, helpful staff.

The owners were so helpful and kind. Nothing o too much trouble.

Booked at short notice with little choice, acceptable overall (very old and tired room, beds pretty good) but check-in was a shambles - wasn’t asked even for my name, very confusing communication and half an hour after we’d unpacked another family walked straight into our room after we had both been told the same room number. Wouldn’t be rushing back.

Very close to the road and parking virtually on the road

Great place to stay. Central clean.

Next to the main road. Feels like the trucks are going thru the bedroom. Restaurant was closed. Won't stay there again.

excellent shower, where the carpet met tiles the sharp pins caught in my feet, an excellent way to catch Hep C, the road in front is very noisy it’s earplugs to get to sleep

Was newer and had a nice spa tub. Noisy highway but it did quieter down at night. One night stay worked out.

Great location. Excellent staff. Very nice and clean room. Would definitely recommend

It looks way better on the inside. We showed up after hours and it looked sketchy from the outside, but it was quite a nice place to stay for the night. Close to penguin colony

Handy to town & to tenpin Bowling.

The motel is in a great location when passing through the area. The room was spacious and quiet.

Nice clean property in a good easily accessible location

Restaurant on site but very slow at meals, room wasnt the best for price, crack in bottom of front door, no parking near room, room was tired and single bed was tiny. Not a pleasant stay unfortunately.

Great having a restaurant right next door. Staff were helpful but their maintenance let them down - had made beds but not cleaned (the lady came down and cleaned as soon as I let her know there were issues) there were blown and missing light bulbs, the heat pump was too weak to cool the rooms and had foliage covering and growing Into the outdoor unit ! The hair conditioner dispenser was broken, t.v had big white stripe through screen- and a funny note - there was a saucepan in the cupboard but no stove top to use it lol

Phoenix complex attached was very convenient. Unstable table and broken venetian blinds in the room were the only negatives

The sheets & towels were clean but the floor didn’t look like it had been vacuumed & there was old food & dirt on top of the kitchen cabinets. There was no soap in the dispenser above the bathroom basin & no scrubbing brush to clean dishes with. Also no recycling bin provided. The toaster started smoking as soon as it was pushed down so we were unable to use it. The restaurant advertised as being onsite is closed Mondays

The convenience of having the bar next door to be able to get a proper meal for dinner without having to drive
