Manager operator was very nice and accommodating. She always asked for feedback. Set in a very busy street so road noise was not great. I recommended additional seals on the ranch slider doors as, when locked, it had a gap of about 5mm which would allow for more noise. Space was tidy. Heatpump/aircon in good working order. Bed was too hard for me & my daughter. Close proximity to Hamilton CBD. Plenty of parking. Kitchen pots and pans had protective coating scraped off. No sharp nor cerated knives to slice fresh bread nor tomatoes etc. Suited us for our needs at the time. Don’t expect anything flash.

A generously sized bathroom with spa bath and separate shower.
Sleeping space, lounge and kitchen had microwave, oven etc but a larger bin to separate general rubbish and recyclable would have nice.
Still, apart from the traffic noise, no real complaints since the room was a bargain

Nice clean and convenient room. Single pillows on beds made sleeping comfortable impossible. Shower had fantastic pressure. I was unaware of the need to have a $200 bond. This would have been easier if I had a credit card. Apart from this it was a pleasant stay.

I like the location and the room. I found the room was overpriced for the stay. I expect the rate reflected the long weekend and the Rugby Sevens that was up the road. Internet was weak.

It took about 30 minutes of arguing that I had booked via Wotif and had paid on booking. The receptionist had not heard about Wotif and said I will have to pay because I should have booked through Expedia. I suggested she get it sorted with her equally screechy manager- who she rang three times during the discussion. I remained quiet as I started to think it was not worth the hassle at the end of the day- but too tired to go off as hunt down a motel at 6 pm on the hottest night in Hamilton. Finally sorted when she found that my credit card had paid for the room earlier in the day - so sorry. The room, a good size, very dated but adequate was ok till I take the bed cover down and see the stains in the underside. Any way, I survived the 80’s nightmare and will not stay there again

Disappointing experience

We chose this motel for the pool and spa facilities, but the spa pool was out of order. The air con didn’t work well which meant the room was very stuffy. Opening the windows meant really loud traffic noise as we were right beside the rd. There was mould in the shower and on the net curtains in the main room. I would have expected more from 4 and half star motel.

Good location for Waikato Stadium

We had a small studio, dated and old but clean. It has everything you need. Towels looked like they needed to be replaced. The best thing about this place is how close it is to Waikato stadium which is a 10min walk away. Parking was right outside the room.

Didn't end up staying there! The first room we were offered smelled of stale tobacco smoke and the heat pump didn't work. The second room smelled alright but the heat pump didn't work and the rubbish bin hadn't been emptied. The refrigerator was VERY noisy, so much so that if we had used that room we would have had to switch it off to be able to sleep. The third room was okay and the refrigerator was silent, because it didn't work despite the receptionist pulling it out from it's alcove and checking the plug, wiring etc. Each unit had an \"out of order\" sign on the spa pools despite the sign at the roadside which boasted private spas in each unit. All three were an eyesore with broken covers etc. I am happy to pay $200 a night for a good motel but this one in no stretch of imagination rates the four star it is supposed to be. In my opinion it would struggle to achieve two stars! We left and stayed at a very pleasant, clean motel which, incidentally was $50 a night cheaper. Certainly would not recommend this hotel.

Room was the closest to the main road. Arrived about 5pm; traffic was heavy and very noisy. The noise dropped about 9pmish. Rooms were super clean and presentable. Staff on duty were pleasant and helpful. Good price for the value of the room offered. It included a spa pool.
