I sent in a previous review but on reflection the check in was thorough if not a bit long but the service was excellent, units spotless and quiet. A little tired looking but clean.

Sorry you did not enjoy your stay - Settlers Motel, Turangi has never been a handicap impaired advertised motel so I can understand if you did not enjoy your stay. I would have liked to phone you to apologise however your post stay review has come in as anonymous which means I can not do this.

Room was very clean & tidy. Floor lino was cracked & had peices missing. Host was very chatty & "escorted" me to room, then showed me where everything was - a bit OTT. Heat pump in room can be turned off/on, but host has set temp so unable to change to personal level.

Thank you for your time to writing a review. Apologies for the condition of the lino - it is scheduled to be replaced in 2020. It is part of our personal service to show guests to their units and spend a couple of minutes giving a quick run down - in most cases it allows the guests to relax and not have to waste their time coming back to the office, when they can't locate items in the units. The heat pump was explained because of the central control set-up, it is also explained that if you required any temperature change all it takes is a request - we are only to happy to do this. Unfortunately some of the guests are not as considerate as yourself and have abused the temperature with staff being put at risk - I do apologise however H&S also has to cover staff and it would appear that we are instructed to cater for the dis-respectful guest rather than the respectful guests.

We have nothing to complain about. Everything was clean, tidy and the staff were very helpful.
