Location was excellent. Property was rather dated but had everything we needed. Staff changed our room to a ground-floor room without a problem. Recommend as a convenient stopover.

Stay in Tauranga for work constantly, this property was very dated. Doesn’t meet the value when places like city suites or armitage is cheaper for more modern

Very friendly staff. Close to cafes, restaurants & waterfront (within walking distance). Room clean and tidy, a bit dated, but served it purpose. Beds were comfortable and good water pressure in shower - unfortunately jets weren't working in the hot tub. Overall a good stay.

An older motel with poor soundproofing. Our unit was just by the laundry where they were drying washing to the wee hours of the morning. No milk supplied, dishes were wet on the shelf. Shower wasn't to bad. Bed okay.
