Gregory
Staff were great, the bed was very comfy , room warm and clean - key in the door that’s old school! The hotel overall is a bit tired.
Edgar
great staff - heaps of parking - room was ideal for the short stay
Rob
Very accommodating Staff. I was very appreciative that they let me charge my electric car for free.
Karen
Yes
Jude
Comfortable and clean. Very handy location.
Winnie Cheuk Wing
The whole place has quite a dated feel. The room looks basic and the window looks out onto the roof of other parts of the hotel which is unpleasant. The TV does not support YouTube and Netflix type of streaming service. The blanket was thick, but there is no air con so it's hard to sleep even with the window opened. There is also a mini bar with a pricing list, but the items provided was incomplete and I've got charged for a cookie I didn't consume and was never there. However.after a complaint it was refunded.

The staff were amazing and did everything they could to accommodate us.
The room was exactly what we needed, love the fact there was an iron and ironing board - which we utilized while there.
10/10 will be staying again, next time we need accommodation in Timaru.

One night stay here. Convenient location, however a bit noisy next to the main road. But then again all motels in this town are next to the main road. Remember ear plugs!

Good stay. Reasonable food. Bed not that comfortable
Myles
The Hotel was great but I won't use expedia again.
We we arrived we stated we only had 2 people not 3 but we where dept direct by Expedia for 3 people.
If I’d booked direct we would have saved approx $76.
Not good.
It would be great if I was credited $76 back to me.

Run down Hotel and rooms. We had a Family room and paid $180 for it. Nothing in the room apart from beds and a old broken couch that was full of old food, stained and had a few years of people’s belongings underneath it. Floor felt wet so couldn’t walk round in bare feet. Family room that right by the main road so a lot of noise. Would of been ok for $100 but far to expensive for what you get.
Brenda
Very friendly staff,and the best fish & chip dinner we have

Very comfortable but shame there was no early breakfast.

Staff were friendly and helpful but property is pretty old and run down and accommodation was noisy. Not great value for money. Handy location and good parking.

Somewhat disappointed, loud noisy party in room next to ours. When I queried why in a pretty empty hotel, people were in a room right next door, was told there was no one in the room - they woke us up from 3.30, and were still cursing and swearing at 4.30am - we were unaware there was a night porter or how to contact them - the big issue was denying there was anyone in the adjoining room and very clearly there was! Also no cooked breakfast or restuarant available, despite being advertised on the expedia website.

wonderfully renovated bathroom, spacious and warm rooms, friendly and welcoming staff.

Lovely staff. Freezing cold rooms. Only a fan heater and a small electric heater in the room so couldn’t be left on. Not great for the
Kids in winter.

Nice and clean, but old with seriously out of date decor....

Disappointing
This hotel is a bit of a curate's egg. It is trying to be a hotel, whilst really it is a Motel, squeezed in between other similar Motels. When I say squeezed in I mean that every centimetre of land is used up and the entrance from the main road (Highway 1) could be considered dangerous given that it is hidden, narrow and on a blind bend in the road.
We booked a superior room and whilst there was enormous space, the rooms had clearly not been prepared for our visit. It was seriously cold and could not be properly heated, plus the electric blankets did not work.
The plus points of his and hers showers and basins were let down again by poor heating in the bathroom. A heated towel rail would have helped.
There was no proper working sink in the kitchen and the basic kitchen equipment left a lot to be desired.
The road outside the building is BUSY, and road noise did come through the windows,
We are currently three quarters of the way through a 24 day tour of the South Island of NZ and this was one of the most expensive rooms we have booked to date, but by far the worst in value for money.
Fortunately, this was just a one night stop over between longer stays in Dunedin and Christchurch, so no real damage done to our holiday, but we would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, peaceful place to stop.
Timaru, however, seems quite a pleasant place with a lively high street and many restaurants.

Booked via Wotif on a non-refundable booking. Travel plans changed so phoned the hotel to see if there could be a change to the booking - was told yes. We checked in a day later and reception laughed that we had already wasted a night by not showing up!
Room was tired and old, no AC, hot and the only way to cool it down was to open the door to the balcony and main road.
Would NOT recommend the service, staff or the room!

Great accommodation and meal
A perfect overnight stay. Very friendly staff. Room was spotlessly clean, relatively spacious and quite suitable for a couple. Well supplied with tea and coffee. Bathroom had a great shower with adequate shampoo, etc. A very nice House Bar. The highlight of our stay was the evening meal. Our party of 4 all had different Mains which were all nicely plated and a good size. Each of our group commented on how delicious their meal was. We were in no hurry to leave and although we were the only diners left in the room staff were quite happy with us

Perfect for a 1 night stay for business. Handy to all amenities. Restaurant onsite meant we did't need to go anywhere else.
Friendly, helpful staff who upgraded us so that we had a view of the bay.

Good size room a little tired and missing light bulbs etc. Easy walk to restaurants in town and we were upgraded to a balcony room at a higher level which gave us a view of Timaru harbour

We only stayed the one night but in that short time we found it a pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our one night stay at the hotel. Unfortunately the restaurant at the hotel was not open nor was the bar. We walked into Timaru township and enjoyed a meal there. We had to do the same for breakfast.

It was perfect for what we required and a great location

Excellent and Convenient
From a balcony room the view is sensational and the locality is great. Close to the Bay, bars, restaurants and main shopping area.
The staff are excellent and reflect a true southern hospitality ethos.
I'll be back.

Ok to stay one night but no more than that
This hotel is fine for someone who is just wants staying one night but I wouldn't want to stay any longer hard beds, multi level building which isn't easy for some with a disability to get around and lots of road noise.
