The two bedroom unit was great, clean, comfortable and spacious. We ordered breakfast and received a delicious homemade continental breakfast in a generous portion. The spa in bathroom was also a bonus. Thanks to the family who own and operate the motel. You are doing a great job. Keep it up👏👍

The apartment was spacious and spotless, with a comfortable bed and nicely equipped kitchen. The hotel is further from Hamilton than I had expected, but the little town of Morrinsville had plenty of restaurants and grocery stores.

Everything about the room was lovely EXCEPT the bed and bedding. All of the pillows provided were too high for me and I had a sore neck in the morning. The bed slumped to the middle. Oh and the tea selection wasn’t very good.

We were not expecting much given this is a motel, but we were pleasantly surprised! The lady on the desk was so friendly and helpful. The room had a separate seating area and the room looked newly renovated. The kitchen was fully stocked and you could cook. The appliances etc looked new.
