The room was in good condition, fresh and clean. Could do with a coffee table or side table beside the couch, and a grab rail to help get in and out of the shower over the spa bath. No non-slip mat, so it was a bit slippery. The Sky TV wasn't working properly, mentioned it to management, but nothing happened, we had chosen the motel because it had Sky and my husband really wanted to watch the Boxing Day Cricket, but that wasn't possible because it wasn't working. Unfortunately, when the place is full, the car parking is terrible, no room for error, you need to let passengers out before parking, as the parks are terribly narrow.

Was just ok. There was long hair in the “clean fridge” and we discovered no spare toilet paper at 11.30pm when we ran out. Close to Main Street, restaurants and shopping. Good off street car park.

Great location and walking distance to some shops. Good parking. The only negative was that there was quite a bit of road noise especially on Friday and Saturday night. Would recommend and will be returning.

While the room was clean, it was very outdated. For the price they charge, I can only assume you’re paying for the hood location. The negatives: The shower pressure was terrible, with the water more like a dribble. The bed felt very unstable. The chain lock on the door was broken. It had an overall dated feel. And being right on the main road it was pretty noisy on a Saturday night. The positives: it was clean, the heat pump was good, and we could log into Netflix on the tv.

If you’re after just a comfortable bed and basic amenities. This is the place to stay. Netflix etc are not included in the tv, you have to log into your account so those who don’t have netflix miss out. Just basic tv. Stayed in corporate suite which had a spa bath. Close to town which is the bonus.

Lovely management, clean, free parking and WiFi, lots of towels, great beds and bedding, not a luxury hotel but a very good option for those looking to spend a lot less than five star and be quite comfortable.

Toilet seat broken, wash basin stained and dirty, Ants all over lounge/kitchen floor, No desk area in living space, connections on wall suggested there had been one under TV. Room was spartan and basic. One small shelf for suitcase, very few surfaces to put your luggage etc on. Have stayed in the past, but not again.

Actually nothing wrong with accommodation. It was clean and roomy. Owners were both very friendly. My problem was that on both nights Friday and Saturday night I was woken around 2-3am by raucous individuals emptying out of the nearby pubs? I guess that's the downside of such a good Mount location. I'd stay again if mid week or winter.

I enjoy staying at this motel because of its location and ease of access. It's recently had a nice renovation refresh which brings the area into a nicer warm and modern feel. I noticed a sign on the door suggesting the office was closed at 5pm daily. So if you are planning on arriving after this time, make sure they are aware.

The owners were wonderful and were very accommodating. They provided a chair for me to use at the cricket free of charge and ensured that I had a great stay. Is a great location with shops and beach nearby, as well as the mount. Plenty of stuff to do over a couple of days there, will definitely stay again there if i come to Tauranga
