Lathrop accommodation from NZ$131

Hotel is a little older, but it looks like everything has been redone in the last couple of years and everything was clean. The location is on a business street, but it was surprisingly quiet. Also, no noise from other rooms. Breakfast was the usual for this type of hotel. Overall a great stay and a good value. We actually stayed on our way to our vacation and stayed again on the return trip home.

This was an exceptionally nice 3* hotel. We have plans to return. Staff were professional, friendly, and helpful. We even lost our car keys and they sent out a search party to help us find them! They went above our expectations as we just asked them to let us know if they were found. The lobby area is beautiful and made a great backdrop for some photos of our group dressed up. The rooms were wonderful. I have a couple minor complaints that honestly didnt detract much from our overall stay. The shower head could really use a cleaning. Theres lime build up on the waterfall shower head that blocked a few of the holes from spraying water, and the toilet seat was quite possibly the most uncomfortable seat ive sat on. Again pretty minor things since i dont get a hotel room for the bathroom. I still managed to sit, and take a shower. So no big deal. We will be back! And if youre reading this, seriously, book here. Its worth it. Also! Need to add their complimentary breakfast is TOP notch. En fuego. The buiscuits and gravy and the bacon are definitely the best parts. The buiscuits are made in small batches so theyre always fresh when theyre stocked, and the bacon is made by some awesome person who somehow knows how to make bacon that is both crispy and still soft enough that you dont feel like youre chewing on crunchy leather. Dont skip out on the breakfast for real.

Pros: Our kids (7 and 5) loved the waterpark. The clerk at the front with the Stitch hoodie was so sweet and friendly. Free breakfast was suitable. Great value for the price. Cons: The bathroom didn’t have a working fan and the whole room was so humid. Our towels didn’t dry in the slightest after 24 hours and no one changed them out during our 2-night stay even though we were out of the room all day. Next time I’ll bring my own towels or take a big stack from the pool area. Guy tending to the pool (full of children) wearing a shirt with the F word on it was a bit unusual lol. My kids didn’t notice him though.
