Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre

What guests think

At Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre, travellers highlight good value, mostly clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient, quiet riverside location a little out of town, making it a practical base rather than a luxury stay.

Facilities are basic, with a pool and hot tub that are sometimes cold or uninviting, areas around the property needing upkeep, occasional stairs affecting accessibility, and parking that can be easy yet limited at busy times. Rooms vary from spacious and well equipped to dated, with recurring minor maintenance issues, thin walls or noise for some, inconsistent stocking of kitchen items, and limited temperature control or no air conditioning in certain units. Best for travelers seeking simple, no-frills accommodation.

Gute Lage, nicht weit zum Ortskern. Unser Zimmer roch sehr unangenehm und war sehr abgewohnt. Der Pool war grün und lud nicht gerade zum Baden ein. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommen. Die guten Bewertungen zur Anlage selbst kann ich leider nicht nachvollziehen.

Majority of units have steps to gain access - this does not show on web site. As my wife has mobility issues asked for unit without steps - got told none were available. Seemed strange most units were vacant. Units are un-serviced because of COVID? Our unit was not provided with an additional toilet roll - office closed and had to go out at 9.30pm to buy. Checked out on Sunday 10.00am office not open - closed because it was the quiet time of the year - could not make them aware of the issue with the toilet rolls - wondered why they were unable to provide a unit without steps if it was quiet. Units are not air conditioned temperature during stay over 26 degrees - only free view TV

Decent value hotel short drive from Victoria Street restaurants and shopping. Reasonably well equipped kitchenette. Small but nice pool. Across the street from the park and the river on the road toward the National Park

We chose this motel for its convenient location to family in rest home and the river for walking. We chose to cancel our booking the evening that we arrived. The owner still charged our card for entire booked period even though we asked them not to, we would pay cash for the 2 nights required for the cancellation policy to avoid the international fees on our cc. The room was not pleasant. Carpet was sticky and room smelled, pillows were old and horrible, kitchenette items were not clean, blinds in bathroom were filthy, blinds in the entry (being glass walls and windows) were broken and did not operate - no privacy, other people sat on our individual entrance porch and smoked!! This stay was not a pleasant experience. Fees for the transaction charged were not refunded. Then they accused us of taking a pillow.

The staff were friendly and thoughtfully turned on the fan in our room, as there is no aircon. While there were updated aspects in the bedroom, the toilet seat was not properly attached, the bathroom tap did not run properly, the blinds were very dusty, the bathroom fan didnt work, and the smoking area was below the bedroom, so smoke came in our unit. So overall, attention to detail was needed. There were no staff in the office to advise of these issues (and about 4 others!) and my email explaining them has not been replied, so that is not great customer service. With a few tweaks, this could be a great stay.

Wir haben ein Studio mit 35 Quadratmetern gebucht und ein Studio mit maximal 20 Quadratmetern bekommen. Trotz nachfragen, stand kein größeres Studio zur Verfügung. Dir winzige Küchenzeile war zwar ganz gut ausgestattet, aber es gab keinen Tisch, an dem man z.B. frühstücken konnte. Dafür aber 3 Stühle. Da es keine Klimaanlage gab und das Studio den ganzen Tag in der vollen Sonne stand, war die Nacht unerträglich heiß. Wir geben trotzdem 2 Sterne, weil das Personal und die Gastgeber sehr freundlich waren.

On arrivel the staff were very helpful i needed to use a cpap machine and was upgraded to a suite which was exellent.I had a car but you could walk through the park by the main entrance across the river bridge to a very nice place for drinks and dinner. Food vas very good. All shops are close. Although the main road was close with the patio doors shut i heard no road noise at all. The hotel alos has a function room. I'm from the uk and have been traveling around the north Island for six weeks,staying in different places every couple days. Would highly recomend. I am a 67 year old male solo travaler.

Place was ok. Most importantly it was clean. When I arrived I had driven from Hamilton to New Plymouth to Stratford to Hawera then onto Whanganui. I was tired and needed a toilet stop. I waited what stemmed like an eternity for service at the reception desk despite walking through the electronic sore beep several time and calling out. I could here people behind the wall so was very frustrated.
