The kitchen was well equipped if we had needed it. Did not use the laundry this time but it's handy to know it's there, and easy to use. The room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. The heat pump was good, and not always available in motels. A handy location.

Solid place to stay with a curveball or two. Located on the west end of what must surly be called \"motel row\" as there are least 40 motels options side by side from here to the Pak 'n Save. Stayed in room #3, which was a middle unit, all units are ground level. 3 nights in late-November 2025.

Negatives:
Deposit required at check-in & they actually charge it, not just put a hold for it. Nobody else does this. It was refunded after checkout, but why bother to begin with? Very specific rations of coffee x4, tea, hot chocolate x4, & cookies x2 (in a pack) per day. And clearly think that they will get more money (see photo #4). No USB ports.

Positives:
Easy check-in. Room was quiet, clean, & comfortable. Water was instant hot. Mostly full kitchen with: microwave, refrigerator, 2 place cooktop, kettle, toaster, glasses, plates, & silverware. Provided Coffee & Tea (Ceylon), hot cocoa & choc chip cookies. Silverware/ceramics were clean. The overall room size was quite roomy. Largest Bathroom shower ever, 3 people could use it at once. Hand-held shower head option. Shampoo & Conditioner. Wi-Fi worked well. Easy check-out, just leave the key card in the room.

Final thoughts:
I liked this place as everything was in order to be a five star... But, unnecessary deposit & expecting of added income from some unicorn that would pay extra for tiny packets of stuff, is quite silly. But, then again maybe they are raking it in, on all those $2 sachets of salt & pepper.

The rooms looked and felt very clean but there was an odd smell in the bathroom which I later found out was probably mildew. This will be to do with the bathroom fan not working very well for such a large space. The shower grout needs redoing as the water leaked out onto the floor a bit.
Overall it was a pretty nice place to stay.

Me, my partner and our 3 kids spent the night here. Room was a 2 bdrm apartment, it was nice, clean and spacious. It has a separate toilet and also has one in the bathroom which is handy when you have lots of people. Kitchen was a bit awkward because the fridge was behind the door and fridge door opened the wrong way. So you would het hit by whoever walks into the kitchen, seating outside our room was very dirty…..

Firstly the bathroom design is poor, the shower has no door so the water goes all over the toilet, creating a damp feeling! Secondly, the toilet was really bad, you could only flush it once then it took ages for the tank to refill. Lastly, the check out is very slow! Would not stay there again!

Service at the receptionist was okay friendly staff, but room quality werent the greatest and cleaning service was poor.
Faults
●Air conditioning had foul smell when it was turned on.
●Latches on windowns were nearly broken, werent able to open windows to air rooms.
●Bathroom lights went off and was told we shouldnt have too many appliances going at once, but we didnt.
●Front door was unsafe and could feel cold air coming through the room.
● 4 nights stay and was told we cant get towel replacements.
●Our second room was riddle with bugs and spiders along the ceilings and around the single bed. We were told that there were no rooms available which is why we paid more for Saturday but later on found out that there were a few rooms available when we found bugs in our second room.
Staff are friendly but they need to learn to clean rooms properly. Nice location but need to focus more around maintenance and deep cleaning the rooms. This is the first time i have actually given a review like this. Hopefully the owners take this seriously. First and last time staying here.

Clean and comfy

Nothing special in terms of grounds or outdoor facilities but great for a quick stopover. Parking outside the door and a very clean room with all the amenities and excellent sleep quality. Was taken aback by the need for a damage deposit but the refund came quickly, though i lost a few bucks in the transactions. Might be a bit boring for a long stay but fine for a stopover.

Home away from home

Wonderful unit, clean and inviting. Spacious even with 2 beds, dining suite and kitchen. Bathroom large with a jet tub and a stand alone shower. Have mentioned that the bathroom area is quite slippery even with fan on. Tile chosen too glossy for a wet area. Grab rails by tub would be great.Carpet is possibly due for a deep clean. I will return to this motel as it has everything I need. Even though it is on a busy street it's very quiet. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and polite.

Did not like arriving to the place to hear that I had to pay a bond to stay in my room that I already had booked and payed online. My room only had quarter roll of toilet paper the remote was broken and after checking out of a terrible one night stay I was told that I won’t get my bond back until the cleaners did my room and made sure I hadn’t broke anything or stole anything didn’t receive my bond till 2 days later. Overall will never ever stay there again nor will I ever recommend to anyone to stay disappointed and very unhappy

Unfortunately not a pleasant place to stay, no privacy, so have to keep all curtains/blinds (which need replacing) closed. Strong smell of bleach, clean-ish if you don’t look too closely. Decided to leave after 2nd of 3 nights, asked for a refund and staff assured me I could and to come back next day for it. Well that was a lie, I called back and they wouldn’t refund me. Definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here, I certainly won’t be again.

Second stay at this Motel on our return from Auckland. Upgraded to a superior room with all facilities including spa bath. The room looked fairly recently
redecorated and in first class condition. Excellent condition and cleanliness.

Was a last minute booking think it may have been called a studio room, very reasonable rates. We were
pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and clean as was the large bathroom. We had cooking facilities to cater for ourselves if we wanted to. The TV in our room was a smart TV so was a bonus to be able to have plenty to watch and relax after a hard day and access to log into our APPS. Was happier with this motel than in the tiny room we paid more than double for the night before in Hamilton which did not have half the home comforts or free parking. Staff also pleasant and helpful. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Spacious home away from home.

Was pleasantly surprised when I entered my unit as it appeared spacious, clean and we'll decorated. Staff were very polite and eager to do their jobs. Being a non driver it was great to see a bus stop outside the motel and one across the road. The buses were easy to use as long as you had a preloaded Bee card. As a gold card holder my information was loaded on my Bee card which made bus travel free. Ten minute walk to a dairy and slightly further to supermarket and food places. Would definitely stay there again.

This place was more than adequate for what we needed as a stop over stay. Parking was right in front of the room. Fridge was very noisy over night but other than that no issues.
There is a bond that they require on top of the fee of $100 but this is refunded after check out. I didn't mind this as I am guessing perhaps they have had some issues in the past that have meant they have needed to do this. Overall, adequate budget stay.

Was given a disabled room and not being disabled myself I couldn't park in the allocated space which made it tricky to park safely. The walls are paper thin so bring earplugs if you are planning to stay.

Room spacious and clean.

However, the shower-room without a door is miserable
as it was wet and slippery after shower.

Suggest to add a handle by the tap so make it a bit safer
, especially for those seniors.

The receptionist was outstanding. Such a big help when I had booked the wrong date. Expedia were not easy to get hold of and the lovely receptionist encouraged me to keep trying. It took a while to sort with Expedia but with the help from Hygate staff we were able to swap dates and stay. Relief!
I will be much more careful in future when I do any bookings to check the date. Thank you Hygate staff, much appreciated. Thanks also to Expedia.
