    Affordable Convenient location Plenty of towels Well equipped rooms Good parking outside door Fan heater provided (visited during winter)

    Bathroom very cold All windows open on arrival so room was very chilly A large teenage sports group stayed the same night as us and they were playing loud music at 9:30pm (not for long though, so perhaps motel staff asked them to turn it off)

    Property response:

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated our convenient location, well-equipped rooms, ample towels, and the parking facilities right outside your door. It's also great to know that the fan heater helped keep you warm during your winter visit. We sincerely apologize for the chilly room on arrival and the cold bathroom—your comfort is important to us, and we’ll be looking into ways to improve the warmth of our rooms during the colder months. We also regret the brief disturbance caused by the sports group, and we’re glad it was resolved quickly. Your comments help us improve, and we appreciate you choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

    Lovely greeting at reception and room was clean, comfortable with everything we needed, nice little kids play area,easy driving distance from central Palmerston North, good shopping centre nearby with bakery, takeaways, liquor outlet etc. Would definitely stay again

    Plenty of rooms for big groups

    Washing machine didn’t work,no heating in rooms was cold the WiFi wasn’t great

    Property response:

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found the rooms comfortable and suitable for larger groups. Regarding the washing machine, housekeeping reported that the door was broken during your stay. We also want to remind that all our rooms are strictly non-smoking, and housekeeping noted a strong smoke smell in the room, along with the carpet being left extremely wet. This is why the additional fee was applied. We apologize if this was not made clear at the time of booking, and we will work on improving our communication about these policies. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the heating and WiFi issues and appreciate you bringing these to our attention. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to better serve you in the future.
