Sapello accommodation from NZ$103

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was really nice and helpful. Unfortunately the pool was not working doesn’t say that when you book it. The doors are not sealed correctly so you hearing everything from the outside making it hard to get a good nights sleep. The building on the outside is not appealing. The inside looks renovated and smelled nice and clean.

Staff was amazing. Desk staff was attentive and knowledgeable about local information

We arrived late first off. When we got off the freeway and turned into, well let’s say a not so nice area, then into the dim parking lot that my gps brought me to. I was greeted by signs saying not liable for break in or damaged vehicles park at your own risk. Ok not what I expected of the best reviewed hotel in town. The building was very old. Inside is all antiques and old everything. It smelled old also. We got our suite, it was clean. The room had a bad smell like old stale shoe polish. The living room part was a chair, a small old couch, 2 end tables and a huger dresser thing. No tv. The bedroom had a tv. Bed was ok but I think it was old also. It was rutted out or hammocked from being overslept in. The linens weren’t great and were rough on the skin. I’m 6’3” and I hit my head on the overhead bed rail like 4 times going to and from the bathroom. The bathrooms were clean and nice. No issues there. The staff. The night guys did their best and were as helpful as they could be. We were grabbing items and minding the puppies so they opened the door right away for us. Thank you. The next morning mind you was not great at all. The lady behind the counter couldn’t even say good morning. I asked if there was a breakfast or snacks and she said, no just coffee. Had one cup and out the door we went. Omg I think the coffee was antique as well. It got poured out into the gravel parking lot immediately. Not good for dogs either. Too expensive.
