The kids and I enjoyed our over night stay ,the neighbours were a little on the Noisy side but once quite we were able to sleep. If you could please include the Bond for cleaning in online payment option that would also be helpful as I was a little short upfront at reception but paid $100 which seems fair This might help other families too in future bookings with you guys cheers

Taupo stay

Service at the check in was fine. Walking into the rooms but smelt like cat has pissed on the carpet, so had to open up windowsbto ait place out. The place was overall tidy. Disappointed with the quality of beds and blankets provided. No fire alarm or heater in rooms. The motel is in a great location. Photos from advertising were misleading. Its a shame we didnt feel comfortable with our stay.

The floor looked half vacuum and we found KFC chicken in the draw, when I told the lady she said very sorry how about we just say it's a mistake, I know for a fact that if it was any other motel they would came and looked, offered something or gave back part of the fee it wasn't the greatest but it wasn't the worse I've stayed in... It really wasn't nice to open to and pay a extra $100 on top. Which it was a bond. The rules are Abit extreme too but hey maybe they have had people come in and wreck things. It's a average all around from us.

I didn't like anything about this property. The picture shown is nothing like the room I was given. I was travelling solo and I was given a room that slept 5. The room was filthy and very uninviting. They are certainly not cleaning to a covid19 standard if in fact they are cleaning at all. The heater had been sat on and was caved in on the top. The TV remote fell apart into 3 pieces. The net curtains by the door were shredded. The drapes didn't fit the windows. The cutlery had dried food on it. The venetian blind on the front door hang with a gap at the side so privacy was an issue and it let the very bright light from the outside light in. The room smelt awful. The fire escape stairs were blocked by overgrown plants and rubbish. This was the most expensive motel on my 5 day trip and the worst I have ever stayed in. I will never book this motel again!

Old and in need of a complete renovation. Furniture was old and worn out (covered by old bedding sheets) electric socket hanging out of the wall (held in with sellotape), no hot water in the kitchen, microwave was digusting - paint peeling off and covered in rust, no door on the toilet, bedroom door didn't fit so wouldn't close. Heating was not would be expected in motels. DEFINITELY NOT UPTO STANDARD OF MOTELS OF SIMILAR COST MOTELS.

I liked that the property was so close to town. I did not like the outside light which you cannot turn of shining in throgh the door all night. I did not like that there were no extra blankets or pillows. Yes I did ask for an extra blanket which took over 20 minutes to arrive.
