It was ok for last minute. But was a bit cold, shower was leaky and not great, had a TV but no freeview so couldnt watch anything. They said free Wiifi but was limited. On a good note the staff were very accommodating for our big family.

Really clean and nice motel for the price! A bit noisy in our room but you get that so close to a main road. Thanks!

Motel conveniently close to Tauranga hospital

My husband was in hospital and I found the staff to be pleasant and supportive. I found that I needed to stay an extra day and they went out of their way to accomodate me, for which I am grateful.

Ok for backpackers

Bad bed. Noisy. No privacy. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
