    The suite was generous-sized, I felt like at home. The bed was good, and it was convenient to have a microwave oven and utensils.

    The rooms were modern and complete with comfortable beds and good sized bathrooms, for example. The location was particularly good - a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Also, the hotel was 15 minutes drive from an underground elevator.

    We recently stayed at a conveniently located motel in Whanganui. Our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. Despite being situated on a main road, the motel was surprisingly quiet, allowing us to have a peaceful night's sleep. The hosts even provided us with earplugs, just in case. We appreciated their thoughtfulness and attention to detail. we had a pleasant experience and would recommend this motel for a short stay in Whanganui.

    I recently stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. the value for money was exceptional, with prices that were very reasonable for the quality of the accommodation. Secondly, the attention to detail was evident throughout my stay, from the well-appointed rooms with added armchairs that made the unit feel more homely, to the brilliant hot shower that was a welcome treat after a long day of exploring. Lastly, the hotel's location by a major roundabout was convenient for accessing the city and its surrounding areas. I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

    There was honestly nothing that I didn't like about this hotel.

    I recently stayed at a motel and was pleasantly surprised. The room was modern and had great facilities. The queen bed was very comfortable and the pillows were great. The soundproofed rooms helped me sleep well and not be disturbed by the noise. I also enjoyed the use of a small kitchen in the room to cook my meals, and the convenient parking space.

    The sky TV wasn't of the greatest quality and the clean towels had random hairs on them. Although the motel had a calendar and Wi-Fi, these elements looked a bit tired.

    We loved our stay here! The couple who managed the property were so friendly and even upgraded us to a bigger room. The room was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we needed, including a comfortable sitting area and a dining table. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we had the best sleep. The location was great, right by a major roundabout, making it easy to get around. The staff were helpful and provided excellent room service. We also appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the fact that there were free toiletries provided. this place provided enhanced comfort and quality services.

    We highly recommend this hotel to families.

    Great location near hospital and McD's. Close to the main road but surprisingly quiet. Clean and comfortable rooms with all necessary facilities. Friendly and accommodating staff.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    This hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. the value for money was incredible. The prices were reasonable and given the quality of the rooms and amenities, it was a steal. Secondly, the attention to detail was impressive. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with modern kitchens and bathrooms that were a pleasure to use. The added armchairs in the units made the space feel more homely and comfortable. Lastly, the breakfast provided by the hotel was top-notch. The variety and quality of the food ensured a great start to the day.

    All was fabulous, couldn't fault a thing.

    The motel is conveniently located near the main highway, city centre, river, hospital, and other places of interest. The staff is friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. The rooms are equipped with basic amenities like a kettle, fridge, and jug of real milk. Some rooms have double-glazed windows, making them quiet despite the busy road traffic. The motel is close to the Castle restaurant, which serves great Indian cuisine.

    Some guests may find the rooms noisy, despite the double-glazed windows provided in some.

    Our room was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed for our overnight stay. Despite being on a busy street, it was surprisingly quiet thanks to the excellent soundproofing. The staff were incredibly helpful and even upgraded us for free. The location was EXCELLENT, just a short distance from the town center. We were also impressed by the quick and efficient communication when we left something behind. a fantastic experience at this family-owned establishment. Will definitely return if we're ever in the area again.
