If you're a light sleeper, would recommend ear plugs as walls between units thin/not sound-proof.

Highly recommend. Tidy easy to access. Will stay here again ##### Amber Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2020 The room was tidy enough, but the wall heater broke and the replacement was extremely average. As noted by another reviewer, the room had a notice that all dishes must be washed or face a $50 penalty - not ideal in the time of Covid. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew Sep 6, 2020 Disliked: Staff & service #### Expectation to wash your own dishes The motel until was OK, nothing wrong, but was quite old. Check-in staff was very friendly and helpful. We were surprised at the sign in the kitchen saying if you don't wash your own dishes you will be charged $50\. I have stayed at many motels all around NZ and have never seen such a sign. I have even been told by cleaning staff at other motels not to bother washing my dishes as for hygiene reasons they have to clean everything again anyway. We decided to rewash everything before eating on plates as we couldn't be sure the previous guests will have washed the plates well, especially in the current COVID climate. The price was quite high for the quality in my opinion - we stayed in another motel in Picton the next night, the room was bigger, much more modern and very clean for $10 cheaper. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred, Waikato Aug 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly operator.

The room is appalling; threadbare carpet at threshold, electrical tape holding electric towel rail wiring together, an odd screening to the main bedroom, mouldy everything everywhere in the bathroom. If we had arrived at this motel 40 years ago on a family holiday we as teenagers would have kicked up a fuss about it. We got up early to leave our third world motel room behind ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 23, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Spacious room, but in need of some maintenance. Nothing particularly bad but suffers in comparison to other motels in this price range ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Dreams Dominicus La Romana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Dominicus-La-Romana-All-Inclusive.h15407597.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Montreal - Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Montreal-Downtown.h41239.Hotel-Information) > > [Fantasyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Fantasyland-Hotel.h460534.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria On The Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Victoria-On-The-Harbour.h10291.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jamestown](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamestown-Hotels.d1709.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Royal Ontario Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Ontario-Museum-Hotels.0-l503131-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Caribbean-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6022969-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Calabogie Highlands Four Season Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arnprior-Hotels-Calabogie-Highlands-Four-Season-Resort.h11837142.Hotel-Information) > > [The Saucy Willow Inn & Cottages on Balsam Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Kawartha-Lakes-Hotels-The-Saucy-Willow-Inn-Cottages-On-Balsam-Lake.h67347359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gili Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Gili-Islands-Hotels.d6055723.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Halifax-Downtown.h1639806.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Cambridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Cottages.d10479-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Grand-Sunset-Princess-All-Suites-Resort.h49260249.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Hotels.0-l6025613-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/phx/seattle-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Gannavaram (VGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/vga/toronto-to-vijayawada) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Mirabel (YMX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ymx/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yqm/saskatoon-to-moncton) ### Cars > [Pickup Car Rentals in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickup-Car-Rentals-In-Edmonton.d180002-tPickup.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Rent A Wreck Car Rentals In North York](https://www.expedia.ca/Rent-A-Wreck-Car-Rentals-In-North-York.d6070426-c33.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Government House](https://www.expedia.ca/Government-House-Regina.d6281704.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Parc des Rapides](https://www.expedia.ca/Parc-Des-Rapides-LaSalle.d6241559.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mount Royal Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Royal-Park-Ville-Marie.d507156.Vacation-Attraction)
