Window decor could do with an update especially in the lower level rooms around the courtyard area. I my opinion, blackout curtains would work much better as it appears the outside lights are left on all night! Guests departing at 5am need to be mindful of other guests who could still be sleeping and perhaps depart in a manner that avoids waking these guests. Carrying a bag rather than dragging it through the courtyard and down the steps would be a better decision!! On a positive note though, the rooms were very clean and staff friendly

We were greeted by Clare and Lion at reception. Lovely, friendly and helpful. Our room was very small but clean. Bed was comfy and it was very quiet. We only stayed one night and it was perfect for our purposes passing through Taupō. I am sure there are bigger rooms available. The view from the front of the hotel is beautiful and the lake is magnificent.

Bed rolled together into the middle. No aircon unit just a fan and a window which couldn’t open fully due to security. Tv reception was awful. Other than that I guess you get what you pay for

Staff were great. Nice big fridge and freezer. But the bedside tables in the double bed room could be straightened to sit level. The kitchen floor was not very clean. More counter space in bathroom would be good.The room could do with some TLC.The mattress could do with being replaced. Oherwise ok thanks.for lication and cost.

I had a basic room so was accepting of the "basic" conditions. It was very clean, however several things could have been improved. the sheets looked a slight grey instead of crisp bright white. Throw over was very flat and needed replacing. Facilties available satisfactory. The kettle kept overloading the multi plug. Taps in the wash basin were loose. No plug for the bath tub. Carpet looked a little stained. When I looked out the window the exterior could do with a wash.

Good, clean room. Shower could have used more water pressure but can't be helped. Motel needs more parking. Otherwise, great location and cheap stay. Service was great, including the fluffy little gentleman at reception who graciously accepted pats!

Decent accommodation in great location
This is a great option in Taupo. Price was very competitive and we enjoyed a good 3 night stay here. Good location, good shower and decent Wi-Fi. The walls and ceilings are thin! On the ground floor we could hear all footsteps etc from above, thankfully no one was next door but the corridor was noisy. Thankfully we had good neighbours, it was obvious how different that could be with children next door, parties etc.

Decent, affordable accommodation if you are looking for a short term stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful, however the room we stayed in was on the bottom floor and we were woken up very early by the people in the room above us as we could hear their footsteps loudly from below. The bed and pillows were also not great but alright for the price.

Unfortunately we had to pack up our stuff and sleep in our car on our first night as we discovered bed bugs. We bought this to the attention of the staff as soon as the reception opened. We had to show the staff how to spot bed bugs which was concerning. Unfortunately they were unable to reallocate us to another room/property so we were refunded. The room itself was dated and dirty. There was still hair in the bathroom sink and crumbs on the carpet. Staff were lovely and helpful but after our horrifying bed bug experience we won’t be back.

Room was very small, which was manageable- but there were just a small list of things to fix, to really lift our rating. Needed: Two sturdy bedside tables, two bedside lights, ceiling fan, bathroom cabinet, and fix dripping toilet. Simple fixes would make a big difference.
