Stayed here on recommendation for three nights very recently. We stayed in downstairs studio It was a good size - clean and comfortable. Convenient parking. Although very centrally located to CBD there was little traffic or other noise. Breakfast ordering system a little confusing.
We came to N.P to attend a concert with 2 teen boys and had a 1 bdroom family room. Lots of space and clean and comfortable. Motel was fully booked over our stay and roome was very sound proof which was good as most other guests were concert goers who of course enjoyed a few drinks before and after. Large spa and bathroom. The upstairs bedroom did get very hot as air con was located downstairs and upstairs had a ceiling fan which just moved the hot air around but didn't make out stay less enjoyable. Walking distance to town, restaurants, waterfront and pukekura park. Would definitely stay again.
We have just stayed for 6 nights. Car park, laundry and free internet available. The location is excellent, many great cafes and restaurants a very short walk away. Pukekura park is a short walk and the coastal walkway and isite centre is a 2min walk. Our room had a private balcony which was great, it over looks a busy street but we couldn't hear any traffic when the door was closed. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Two lazy boy arm chairs were a bonus. Although we didn't cook it there was cooking facility there. A corner bath was a real treat and we had a very comfortable bed. The staff were friendly, helpful and respectful.
This place was lovely. A good distance from the shopping district and Pukekura Park. So neat and tidy, friendly service. If I had complaint it would be face the toilet away from the vanity. My partner isn't fond of traffic, but other then that I hope to be back for the festival of lights.
Perhaps I am missing something (the complete absence of a rock'n'roll lifestyle for example) but to both take my credit card details and then also charge a $200 refundable bond seems excessive and not something I have ever struck at a NZ motel before. While we passed the morning room inspection before receiving our refund - quelle surprise - I resent the process of suspicion of criminality. My credit card should surely be enough - plus the bed was soft. Will find somewhere more welcoming next time we are here, location isn't everything.
