Peter
This motel was misleading old but good shower pity about lack of room service linen etc would not stay again
Jean
Staff was great. Room was clean. Checking in and out was easy. Near shops and eats.
Mark
Great location and a easy walk into town.
Jo
Beds comfortable but wifi terrible
Margaret

Barry
Very utilitarian
Sasha
Great for a quick stay. Enjoyed it!
Linda
Room smelt of stale alcohol and wet dog. There was ragging on the furniture. Dirty spoon in the drawer. Good layout though and the bathroom and sheets were clean.
Margaret
This would have been the worst motel I have stayed in over the last 10 years. There was no reception, never saw anyone, was advised of my room via a text. Rusty handrails in the bathroom, the shower tray was bent and dangerous edge to trip over, there was a microwave but nothing to use to cook in it. Windows were missing latches. It did have good heating and the bed was comfortable and tv worked. it was cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for, but will not be back there

Never again
Second stay there and I realised why I haven’t been back. Very poorly kept. Needs a total refurbishment including hot water in the shower.
Melanie
Very comfortable, good value, pleasant staff, close to facilities
kym
Stayed for 19 nights in the one bedroom. Staff I met or would see were always very friendly. Very close to bus routes and walking distance to various shopping. Quiet and secure. The plunge pool and sauna were a very nice amenity and it is well maintained so relaxing after a long day was always possible. The only thing I would say is where my room was is right next to the pool, and the gate going into and out of it would get kind of startling as it swings shut very loudly. Maybe get some kind of damper or buffer for it and it would be absolutely perfect. I would definitely stay here again.
Malcolm
My stay all went well no problems at all.
Mike
Nice motel. Quiet and central
Theresa
Loved that it had a pool

The receptionist was rude during our stay. We upgraded our reservation from two adults to one adult and two children. Although we paid for the extra child, she did not provide us with additional towels or coffee and tea for the extra person. She also told us to get our milk from the supermarket. Would not recommend anyone wanting a peaceful night.
Graham
Convenient, cost efficient, nice to have bedroom separate from lounge. Grounds would look nice with a tidy up, inside of rooms could do with a refresh. Would stay again.
Joshia
Smoke alarm went off at 4am waking both our kids due to a low battery, theres no extraction fan in the kitchen. Apart from that the host was super helpful and friendly the room is nice and has everything you need.
LYNN
Convenient, one level.
Shower far to small.
No motel street sign lit up at night

Cleanliness, presentable, had everything necessary for a short stay. Would definitely stay again.
Good location, Close to all services.
Only suggestion of improvement is the main entrance sliding door needs to be adjusted. Was not easy to lock or unlock from the inside.
Plus the sliding door from bedroom to bathroom needs to be attached to a fixed track on the floor as well as the top. It came off the top track a few times when it was pulled across to close it. The sliding door also moved & banged every time the door from the kitchen was opened into the bathroom. Minor details but very annoying. I would not request room 14 if I was staying again.

It was a lovely stay, kind hosts, and easy parking, great stay for someone that would like to stay right in town 😊 great price to.
Maria
Check-in and check-out was easy. It was nice and quiet. Nearest supermarket was a 3 minute walk. And not too far from the main plaza either.

I love that they are dog friendly. Awesome!

Ok
Tewewehi
Only get milk for the first day of the stay . Get free tea coffee sugar and hot chocolate but no milk. I found that strange . It was convenient due to last minute booking . But for the price expected a little more . Check out is 10am , but was asked to leave by 9:30 . happy with our stay but won’t be back . We travel to Palmerston North often.
David
Friendly staff warm and clean room
Ali
Very good, basic motel. Clean. Great parking and excellent location - easily walkable to the city centre. Easy check in and out.
Rachel
The property and location were good. My only criticism was we had no milk in our room, room 11 we got there at 5pm, went to the office which was closed, I called the number no reply, got a text message to text which I did, but no reply, I then called and texted again at 10pm we got back from dinner, which we then had to walk to the nearest service station to buy milk pretty disappointing as it let the rest of the stay down.
Tailia
AVOID THIS MOTEL AT ALL COSTS!
Definitely the worst motel I've ever stayed in, booked for three nights but couldn't stand staying any longer than two nights, we tried to stay as long as we could but the whole place was dirty, definitely not clean at all, ants EVERYWHERE the sheets smelt really really bad and left us showing nonstop when we arrived home, it is also a very nosey place, there's a lot I could write but limited space. I do not reccomommend this place .

The room and surrounds are pretty dated and a bit tatty...but having said that the bed was good, the room was warm and everything else was fine...
I'm not complaining as it was fine considering the price.

Roger
We were in only for a short time. Arrived in the dark and left early in the morning. Unit was open and ready for our arrival. We had been contacted by text to let us know which was ours so seamless arrival.
The unit was quite adequate for our purposes but not amazing. Bed was very comfortable.
Location in city is excellent. Would stay again.

Dennise
Central, clean and without noise
Dale
This is not a Courtyard - but it is a clean, well appolinted motel; We stayed for 3 nights and found it met our expectations of an older, but well maintained motel.
Kathy
Friendly owners, older style motel, within walkable distance to supermarket, liquor store, heaps of food outlets. Equipped with what you need.
Lynette
Management weren't management material swearing even when speaking to me
Fiona
There were some minor, but inconvenient, plumbing-related issues with the unit that the owner was pretty blasé about. Otherwise the unit was fine. Quiet and well located.
Stephen

Not good
It would be ok if you wanted to travel with a pet. One of the other units had a big dog.
James
Great value motel.
Very nice stay. Room was larger than expected and had a kitchenette. We made dinner there this saving even more money. Staff was friendly the next morning. Walkable to grocery and downtown. Could use a spruce up, seemed dated, but it is an older motel and it was quite cheap to stay
Gail
Wish l had read the reviews before booking. My mistake . Would not recommend staying here , though room was clean, kettle could do with a good clean or replaced . Strips missing from vertical blinds , no power points in bathroom and no mirror , is a mirror in bedroom
Colin
Lack of facilities for bags and suitcases
Chris
There was no one there for check in and had to text to be able to check in.
Then there was mouse poo in the bathroom and on the single bed.
The rubbish bin hadn't been emptied before our stay so no wonder there are mice.
Handbasin had terrible stains in it. Very dated and needs a complete overhaul.

Ken
Reasonable stay
Reasonable value. But just too old and dirt carpet. Need a total refurbishment but then would also command a better price.
Carmen
Would definitely stay here again, a lovely motel in great location
Grant
For the money I spent this property suited my needs as I only needed a quick stay so wasn't wanting somewhere flash. This Motel is obviously more for those who need emergency accommodation as there are permanent residents. The room itself was adequate and had everything I required. Wouldn't stay again though.
Kelvin
Close to town and quiet.
Milena
did exactly what a motel should, no frills
Izel
The room was pleasant, walkable distance from a supermarket. Just found the lady in charge a bit like she didn’t like people there.
Marlene
Our staff was gr8, we were a bit early, had intended to maybe drop off our baggage, but the lady was very nice & let us check in. Beds were very comfortable 😊
John
This is a lovely motel. Very clean and tidy. Suited my needs perfectly. I will gladly stay here again. Thankyou.
Jan
The unit was old but clean and tidy. The exterior grounds needed some TLC. Question, are homeless also staying at the motel?
Joe
Was quiet and comfortable. The rules of the motel were very prescriptive. In our 50 years of travelling this was the first time we have ever had the Motel manager knock on our door at just before 10.00 to remind us that we had to our by 10.00! We actually had our bags in our hands on the way out. We won’t be back!
Roman
Awesome staff; nice and clean; great value. Definitely a place to come back multiple times.
eddie
place was nice and quite got a text when my room was ready which was good
Sarah
Good for the price
Zoe
my room smelt like a dog kennel. so gross i could hardly breath. the people around me staying there where loud and scary.
Rawiri
Tidy and central, super friendly staff and easy contactless check in and check out - space good for large family like ours and comfy beds with decent kitchen space
Rob
The room was tidy enough, however the grounds were tired and weed-ridden.
The biggest issue we had was that our unit was between two others that were premanently occupied. Both occupants had dogs. There was a fair bit of noise as we were putting our kids to bed. We couldn't keep the doors open due to the dogs and noise and the aircon didn't work.
We received a text on the morning saying the reccepton would be closed that day and that we should just go to our room.
Not awesome over all.

Roger
Convenient positioning. Pleasant staff.
Clare
This Motel is very basic and could do with a touch up. It was clean though and Lyn helpful and friendly. Our room did smell like a dog had lived there for several months but it didn’t bother me as we had a a dog with us.
Rosemarie

Carol
It was just tired lookkng. Everything seemed worn. Clean though.
