We had a short stay at Alton Lodge over the weekend - a family group using two studio rooms and a larger family room - and were delightfully surprised at the standard of the Lodge, given it's one of Whakatane's cheapest. The atmosphere is lovely and this aged motel has been lifted to a very high standard: everything is meticulously clean; the bed linens, pillows and towels are new and top hotel standard; the staff are super-lovely, very friendly and knowledgable, always happy to help; the pool was clean and kept at a lovely temperature - neither too hot nor cold, and without a strong chlorine smell; the beds are really comfortable and although we could see that this Lodge is aging, it didn't really matter when the highest standard of motel upkeep has been diligently applied. For the price this is easily the best motel we've ever stayed at; we'll be back!

What a pity you did not ask us about the air con Jag, it could have been something as simple as the remote needing new batteries. You are the first to ever mention this hence it is not a fault with the air conditioner. They are also serviced regularly.

Quiet, spacious room. I don't think my daughter would have liked the big dog if she were with me.

Fast, efficient check in. Lovely, friendly reception at check in. Arrived with two vehicles and we were easily accommodated. Was no problem to offer us one of their office staff, parks. Customer service is always a good first impression for me. Nice, clean, spacious studio unit with all the ammenities. It was a cold night but the heat pump warmed the room pretty fast. Clean, crisp linen. Would definitely recommend.
