Room was clean, daily cleaning was a bonus, a bit dated but comfortable. Not having a blackout blind with a light outside, and the lack of acoustic isolation such as double glazing made the quality of sleep not so great. A good value for money, but could improve.

Value for money

Enjoyed my stay as comfortable beds, spacious, friendly and very quiet at night even though it is a busy street. Walkable to Central mall, movies and restaurants. Value for money and friendly.

Happily stay again

We were pleasantly surprised by the motel as the cost was so reasonable and have stayed in places much less clean and comfortable for more money! Great location near the city centre, friendly, helpful staff and comfortable room. One change we would recommend is replacing the shower curtain to avoid water accidentally spraying on the floor. We would happily stay again. Thanks Kerry's Motel!

As others have noted, this property needs renovation. But, the room is large and clean. Good location as you can walk to downtown and Whakarewarewa Maori Village. The motel is on a busy road but is not noisy at night. The owner is helpful. Note that the office is not open often. Breakfast is not included.

Basic motel

Has the basics that you need for a couple of nights away. Is showing its age and could do with a spring clean and tidy up. Good location only a 1km walk to central Rotorua. Staff very helpful and friendly. Car parking right at your door.

Small and basic but good!

It is a very small and basic motel but was very clean and tidy and was very impressed with the full kitchen and the provision of a dining room table. The only thing that wasn't great was the road noise. A busy road with lots of traffic going up and down so bring ear plugs.

Good value

As seems to be the case with many mid-range/budget motels in Rotorua they getting to be a bit tired and generally in need of a good 'freshen up\". That said for the price and location this motel is in a good location and represented good value.

Nice place to stay

Rooms were a decent size, all be it a little dated, and the lighting situation in the bathroom and toilet needs to be looked as as you are almost showering in the dark.

Traffic noise was noticable which the windows open, which you will need to do in the summer to keep the room cool.

Nice place to stay if just stopping for a night on your travels.
