Also had to share 1 washer and dryer with the entire motel! ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Corey May 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Place is in desperate need of an upgrade, broken windows , toilet hanging of the wall , very dated but bed was clean and sleepable ##### Corey Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2025 Disliked: Room comfort #### Not too bad not too good Kowhai Hotel was not too bad in terms of cleanliness. Its just the toilet has mosquitos when we arrived. We stayed in 1 bedroom apartment and because it was summer it was very hot, the aircon cannot make our room cold there was an electric fan but its still not enough as we have 4 months old baby. Also, the water get very hot and tap was too strong. Wall sockets were limited. The couch was too saggy so hard to get up. However the management are very accomodating when I asked if we can do a late check out, additional cost though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beach Hotel in Maine](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maine-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d221-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Atmosphere Kanifushi - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanifushi-Hotels-Atmosphere-Kanifushi-Maldives.h15114442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels.d8957.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Bed-And-Breakfast.d178288-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Newmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Newmarket-Hotels.d8931.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Kitchenettes in Virginia Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hotels-With-Kitchenettes.0-0-d10271-tHotelswithKitchenettes.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Island Grand at TradeWinds](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-TradeWinds-Island-Grand.h1914.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexandra Resort - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Alexandra-Resort-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h981089.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Suites Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Toronto.h18781.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels.d6057903.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Westin-Bear-Mountain-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1163262.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Cairo (CAI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/cai/london-to-cairo) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/sfo/winnipeg-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Grand Forks (GFK) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/gfk/ord/grand-forks-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/abz/toronto-to-aberdeen) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to British Columbia (YZZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yzz/vancouver-to-trail) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to North Canton (CAK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cak/toronto-to-akron) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Windhoek (WDH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/wdh/montreal-to-windhoek) ### Cars > [Van Car Rentals in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Mississauga.d7954-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Laurentians](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Laurentians.d6356545.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Carlsbad](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Carlsbad.d6056550.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Costa Rica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Rica.d42.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Queen's Park Oval](https://www.expedia.ca/Queens-Park-Oval-St-Clair.d6119460.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Richibucto](https://www.expedia.ca/Richibucto.dx6345541) > > [Visit Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Covent-Garden.dx553248625846408347)
