Staff polite, Room clean but paint coming off walls. No curtains just vertical blinds. Air con good. Smoke alarm not working was disconnected and sitting in kitchen. Not shown to room but shown on map. Walkway outside units not well lit. Pool looks great but was end of autumn so a bit cold for that.

I had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and thoughtfully designed featuring a fully equipped kitchen that made my stay feel like home. I especially enjoyed the private deck perfect for morning coffee and relaxing evening drinks. The property itself was warm and inviting the pool area was clean and well-maintained. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add lounge chairs to lay on and a few side tables by the pool for added comfort. Overall a wonderful experience and a place I would happily return to.

The carpet was new and the bed was comfortable, everything else was old. Old is ok, but so many things were broken or uncared for. The light above the bed had fallen apart - theres no way they could miss that. I fixed it myself. The painting on the wall was hanging at 45 degrees. I straightened it up. Bathroom door wouldnt latch. Towel rail hanging loose. I dont understand how they can rent out rooms woth glaring faults like this. Its like nobody has set foot in there for a long time.
Then theres the cleanliness - mostly things were clean, except for some thick dust around the TV, in the corners of the rooms, around the toilet paper dispenser, and the glasses had lipstick marks on them. Lots of spiderwebs around. Easy things not to miss.
I just cant believe they had prepared this room for our stay - I dont think anyone had set foot in there for months.
Then theres the staff - very friendly, but 5 minutes before 10am she walks into the room - no greetings or anything - and asks if we are leaving. We said of course, and she starts rambling about how she forgot to take a deposit. She takes the TV remotes from beside me on the couch and put them by the TV and said she had someone steal them before. Then she demanded we give her the key to the unit and left. It was very abrupt and confusing honestly.

The room was very clean and well-equipped but really could benefit from some refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and made up daily to a very high standard. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water The receptionist was pleasant and welcoming and the cleaning staff were helpful and responsive. Overall, this is a very good place to stay.

Stayed at Summit Motor Lodge in Tauranga and was really impressed! The place was clean, comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The location is super convenient — close to shops and easy access to the motorways. But the best part for us was that it’s pet friendly, which made our stay so much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tauranga!
