Check in was handing us a key with no tips or advice. There was the odour of someone’s fried food in the room, leftover frozen vegetables in the fridge. The back patio? was a narrow ally with tables. The beds were soft. One pillow case has a hole in it. Overall it just felt unclean. The bathroom had been redone, but the floor tiles didn’t look clean. We stayed at this overpriced motel as there was nothing else available. I would not recommend it.

The room is spacious, clean and tidy. It is close to the main road but unaffected by any traffic noise. The bed is comfortable. The kitchenette provides enough facilities for you to prepare the meals using microwave. One issue is that the ventilation fan inside the washroom is noisy during operation but can be turned off before going to sleep.

The room is very costly for motel standard. We have booked the room of 1 double + 1 single only to be told this is for 2 pax! Last minute being asked to top up NZD123 to accommodate 2 kids. The room is dated with basic necessities, hot water run out in the middle of shower and the bed is soft with parts sunk in.

Leider war unser Zimmer von einem anderen Gast belegt. Die Rezeption hatte schon zu, konnte telefonisch aber kontaktiert werden. Es ließ sich klären und wir bekamen spontan ein anderes Zimmer, gleich Größe. Das Zimmer hatte aber eine nicht verschließbare Verbindungstür zum Nebenzimmer und es hatte einen Geruch wie in in einem Altenheim. Die Lüftung im Bad war so laut, dass es durch das ganze Haus dröhnte. Geschlafen haben wir dann aber doch unerwartet gut.

酒店位置就在巴士站的斜對面。雖説是汽車旅館,房間設施完全滿足非自駕旅遊目的的居住,乾淨舒適,落地玻璃門的房間光線很好。
