This was a short stay. The rooms were fine for the price and clean. The only downside is the noise from people going up and down the stairs and traffic noise as it is situated on the main road. Might be fine if you are a heavy sleeper!

A group of three couples stayed here over Easter as we were doing day cycles around Hamilton. This motel is spacious and really comfortable. The huge tv screens a bonus (42 inch). It was great to be able to soak in the pool and spa after too.

We came to Hamilton for a family reunion & booked 7 rooms at Fountain City Motor Inn. The rooms were a great size, modern with big screen flatscreen tvs & heatpumps. Amy & her team were wonderful & couldnt do enough for us! I would definately recommend this motel to anyone going to Hamilton.

We needed to accommodate the family for a couple of days to get our house ready for sale and chose the Fountain City for the benefit of the kids. Fortunately they loved it and we could hardly get them out of the pool or off the trampoline. The connecting room arrangement was ideal as there was plenty of room for... More

My husband and I stayed at the Fountain City Motor Inn as we were in town for an event at Claudelands Showgrounds. Previously being from the Waikato, had driven past this place hundreds of times, but this was our first stay. We were allocated room #17 and we loved it. It was an upstairs room to the back of the...

We stayed here one night en-route from Auckland Airport to Ohakune. The place had everything we needed and was very reasonably priced. The room was clean and well appointed. There is a big PakNSave just around the corner.

The Fountain City Motor Inn made our stay in Hamilton most comfortable & enjoyable. The rooms were warm, spacious & included everything you needed in a kitchenette setup. The servicing of the rooms was also of a high standard. And the reception staff were most helpful. You can't go wrong for the price you pay for this accommodation facility. I... More
