Internet connection was weak and pretty much non-existent.
Television didn’t go at all. Was not able to chrome cast as stated in the room brochure. Manager tried to help but advised me the internet connection to the room was too weak.
The room was freezing and has a small heater that took hardly warmed the room.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Brian
Older property but good value at the room rate charged
Stephen
The room was clean and tidy. The bathroom is cramped but functional. The kitchenette is functional but is also cramped. Power points are difficult to access.
The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean.
It was a short walk to the shops on Broadway, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby.

martyn
The motel room wasgood but lack of parking.. lighting was none existent bar the pale light from next door lighting and then the tv cut out no wifi or reception on Friday night@ 1130pm now i work 70hrs a week up at 4 bed my 9pm on holiday I'd like to chill out warch a few movies.. sleep in.. but the rest of our stay gr8 ..value for the money
Carol
Good value for the money - unfortunately inconsiderate guests and their visitors made for noisy night
Sarah
The main room was absolutely fine, but the inside door handle of the bathroom (both rooms we booked) was loose, meaning that it was very easy to get stuck inside the bathroom!! Best get that fixed ASAP. Otherwise, great location, clean and tidy, reasonably priced.
Analee
Properly is well-maintained and bright. Clean and comfortable bed. The area is walkable and 10 minutes from downtown.
Have a little kitchen with all the needed accessories.

There's nothing wrong; the furniture is overall a bit faded. Overall, it was all good.
Stefanie
Very functional and convenient motel. I would book again.
Helen
Unfortunately our neighbours were very noisy, and i know that is not a fault of the hotel, but it did make our stay unpleasant.
Melissa
It was a good stay, but the bathroom was uncomfortable because it was an accesible one but not done properly so it made things more complicated for me (a person witg reduced mobility)
Ross
A rather basic motel, but it did its job. Close walking distance to central Palmerston North. Unfortunately it had no A/C.
Bruce
Very clean inside and out - high standard.
Easy walk to everything.

What was quite unique about this property was each Motel room was named after a New Zealand region along with a picture of that region on the wall inside the unit.
Tokauea

Noise around unit, i.e from other units was noticeable, however the staff have always been fantastic to deal with. Any special requests have always been met effortlessly by staff. Great staff

Smart TV was a bonus. Proximity to town good.
Largish rooms.
Unfortunately, the bath over shower was hard for us oldies to get in and out with no shower mat.
Our beds weren’t made at all which is unusual.
The kettle didn’t work well.
Also the previous owner’s did the website three years ago so not relevant.

Very noisy group were staying there at same time a large group of High School Rugby Players who were thumping around and yelling made it hard for myself and two grand children to get to sleep. Would have been more pleasant stay if this hadn't happened. Motel itself very nice.
Norman and Jenny
This facility is a very high standard and is a pleasure to stay in. Every detail was attended to, such as lovely soaps and body moisturizers.
We look forward to our next stay here as we travel on business.

Quiet and value for money
Jonathan
Noisy neighbours
Noisy neighbours led to very little sleep for all. Lack of after hours management to monitor behaviour meant a disruptive night for all other guests
Kalib
Decent enough for the price. Cleaning lady was pretty slack. Still had used coffee cups beside the after she had cleaned up. Apart from that the office lasy was nice and friendly
bernard
very long grass outside the back of our motel. a real fire risk
reggae
The clearness of the room and all the different places they had on each room
Jahrel
Was nice and quiet, comfortable Relaxing and warm.
Trudy
It was just a 1 night stay . Average accommodation as aspected. Nothing outstanding. But clean and tidy
Jenna
Ants in the bathroom, beds uncomfortable, bathroom mouldy, facilities very very old and dated, no kitchen sink, could hear people walking around in rooms above us. Would not stay again
glennise
tacky musty units.
Kelvin
Lots of things need maintenance,
Shower was blocked, shower door need repairing. Toilet door wouldn’t close, shower only had warm water. No milk or tea in the room.

Philip
We were very happy with our stay here. Fantastic check in with a friendly face. The rooms (we booked two) were great, very clean and we loved the individual themes and the decor to match. The folder in the room with information about the motel itself and the surrounding areas (including menus) and the artist/theme of the room you were in was very comprehensive and a lovely touch. Certainly made our stay that much better because of it. Thank you
Elizabeth
Having a pedestal Fan available.
Julie
Comfortable bed. Looked after motel.
Sam
The bed was very comfortable, had a good night sleep. Room was clean.
Carme
It is not culturally safe or hygenic to mix your food areas and washing areas- have to gather water from bathroom to drink or to wash eating utensils. Otherwise very adequate with staff who take care.
milou
The property meet our needs nicely.
