Pros:

Clean and presentable room

Cons:

If I knew the location was right opposite bright yellow and serous flood lighting. Paper thin walls to hear a late night neighbour talk to her boyfriend. Horrible night and room not dark enough

Pros:

Recently refurbished.

Cons:

Remote check-in required at another motel. Lots of light leakage around blinds (not great when there's a petrol station right next door). Poor sound proofing from neighbouring room and exterior street noise.TV not able to function correctly for off-air programmes. Main door needs adjustmenmt as didn't shut without committed pull or push (it's hyraulically self-closing but this alone doesn't secure the door lock!)

Ok stay don't think I would return though.
Pros:

The room was nice and big. The bed was comfy.

Cons:

Unfortunately the rooms were not sound proof and someone in the room next to us coughed all night and we got woken from slamming doors all hours of the night and morning. The shower leaked which bathroom flooded, due to the flooring of the shower. Terrible. Didnt have enough towels to soak up the water plus use to dry ourselves. Room 205 needs work!

Bring earplugs!
Pros:

Rooms are huge, beds are super comfortable, facilities are awesome, modern and clean. Location is wonderful, close to city bars, supermarket, and Waikato stadium. Good parking under the building with high clearance for taller vehicles. Upon arrival this place shaped up as perfect for us….but I won’t stay again.

Cons:

We had room 8. Never again! The walls are paper thin and all night we heard people coming and going through the noisy main door, stomping up the wooden staircase, heard everything the people next door were saying…and doing!!!! In the end I went to BP (next door) and bought earplugs but not even those prevented me being woken by the noise of the neighbours romantic moments! Other than a very terrible sleep due to noise from other rooms, it is an awesome place. If I had to stay again I’d stipulate room 11-16, but one with no internal adjoining door to the next apartment because that door did not help the noise.

Pros:

Rooms are very spacious.

Cons:

One key card. When one of us would be upstairs we'd need to come downstairs to let the other inside

It was a good location but could hear all the noise from the neighbouring units and the busy street.
Pros:

I liked the size of the unit, the fact that it had an oven, a hob and a fridge - and that all of those were clean. It had good parking and easy card access. My unit was cleaned and cleared every day and my bed was changed during the week. The supermarket was across the road and a petrol station next door.

Cons:

I had to go to a different motel to get the key which I was okay with. Customer service with a smile and friendly greeting after a 4.5 hour drive would have been appreciated. Upon arrival there were hairs in the bathroom sink - I didn't like that! I took food to cook with me but quickly discovered that yes, there were knives and forks and pots and a pan but there were no actual cooking utensils. I had to go to Briscoes to buy a peeler, tongs, a sharp knife and a small dish for the oven. Odd.
