We met Bing upon arrival, he was very friendly and helpful. We had only booked for one night, as we had brought a friend from Thames to the hospital for an operation. In the end Bing was able to facilitate our stay for 3 nights. The room was very clean and perfect for our stay there. There is free parking on site, and the accommodation is well located for in and around Hamilton. We would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Hamilton for short of medium length stays.

👍liked, location, price, clean, comfortable bed. 👎very basic kitchenette had to use dinner knife to slice tomato 🍅, TV channels were basic, no baggage racks, no air-conditioning, heating was ok but summer would have been a problem in the room we had. OK for short term but not preferred for more than a couple of days.

If you have a larger vehicle (such as a ute), parking can get a bit snug with parking size and turning area on the site. There is a larger parking bay at the front but depending on demand at the motel that may already be occupied. Great motel but something to consider if booking when events are on in the area.

We have stayed here twice. The first time was great. It was on the second floor, was quiet comfortable room.
The second time was a different room on tge first floor, nearest the road. It was fine, comfortable, but a bit noisy and a bit stuffy since tge windows only partially open. However, there was a fan in each room so that made it fine.

Great value for a quick stop over. The staff were very welcoming, the bed was comfy, and there were good options in the room for cooking. Parking was limited when I got back to my room late in the evening, but I was just able to get a spot. The road nearby is noisy, so it's probably not a great option for light sleepers. But all in all I would stay again.

Nice clean rooms, great for a family. The beds were a little soft for our liking, but this is true for most accommodations we have been to. Staff were friendly and helpful. Seating was a bit lacking for a room that could have up to five or six people staying, with just a two-person couch and three wooden chairs for the table. Sadly, while the room did have a spa bath installed, the jets didn't work, and though it was not advertised as a spa bath, it was still a little disappointing. Overall, a nice place when you're on a budget. would definitely recommend staying there.

Bedroom heating was not working but explained to me at reception. A small three column heater was provided but was inadequate and found the room cold during the night. Was assured a larger heater would be provided for the next guest. Would be happy to stay again.

Stayed in the family apartment. A 4th bed was crammed into the lounge downstairs leaving no space to move. Appears there was permanent residents staying there and they were extremely noisy, running up and down the stairs, slamming doors and kept us awake most of the night. The milk supplied for tea and coffee was in a jug covered with cling wrap. Powerpoints didn't work. Overall a very disappointing stay.

Initial thoughts on seeing the room were this is clean but basic. There were only 4 teabags supplied daily (as I was on my own this was ok but it would have nice to not ration the number of cups of tea that I could have). The drain grill on the sink draining board was blocked and very smelly.
The liquid soap in the bathroom seemed to have been diluted with water as it was extremely runny, so much so as to not get any lather when washing hands. The bottom of the spa bath is very scratched and appears to look grey as though the cleaners cannot get this clean. The shower was over the spa bath so to get in the high edge bath to shower and not have a rail on the wall to hold on to is a safety issue. There was a non- slip mat over the edge of the bath but when I moved this there was someone else's hair under it on the on the edge of the bath. The loo paper is in a tall dispenser (like public toilets). The robe and slippers to use as stated in the compendium were not there. There was also no breakfast menu in the front pocket as stated in the compendium. The bed was quite comfortable but all four pillows were very, very soft. It would have been nice to have the option of firmer pillows to use even if they were kept in the wardrobe.
The staff were very friendly.

Room had no air conditioning

Stayed one night was very hot with no air conditioning parking was very tight and the wifi cut off all the time which meant you were constantly logging in. Room was clean and tidy ok for a one night stay

Excellent Motel with free parking

Motel is very conveniently placed for Seddon Park Cricket Ground (an easy 15 minute flat walk). Spoke to owner before we arrived who very kindly facilitated an early check in as we were driving down from Auckland to attend a day / night cricket match - which would have made check in during normal times impossible.
Room was spotless and very comfortable - loved the ceiling fan!
Strongly recommend this motel to anyone, particularly if you want somewhere handy for the cricket ground.

While in Hamilton, make sure you visit Hamilton gardens, just outside of town - well worth it.

Nice, affordable and clean for a short stay.

Walking distance to pubs, restaurants, supermarket, waikato stadium and city centre. We stayed one night and were very happy with the cleanliness and ease of check in. We were even able to check out late, which we were thrilled with.

No value for money....

Carpets were stained, NO air conditioning (shocking for the price we paid). Who has no air conditioning these days???!! The liquid soap was super cheap and watered down. Overall it was very expensive for what we received. I would not recommend this place.

Never again

Poor service couldn't find online booking then tried to say wotif had wrong pricing and we'd need to pay extra. When we went to the office to get our complimentary milk they brought to our room then advised we needed to pay extra for our child as he looked older than what we had paid.Then after we checked out tried charging us for a window breakage that we didn't do as we didn't use that room. No phone to ring the office and poor English. Really disappointed that we used online to make the booking and to arrive and be greeted with less than satisfactory service. Be warned and advised that there is plenty more accommodation in Hamilton than Bks
