We enjoyed our short stay. Room was very nice with a great kitchenette , a small table and 2 chairs. Very clean. We selected because it was not in the center of town but had easy access to travel out to areas nearby. Everyone was very accommodating. Parking spot for our room.

It was very handy to Waikato Hospital which was why we chose this motel. It is on a main road so a bit noisy but our unit had double glazing which made it somewhat quieter.

The staff were very good and unobtrusive. The coffee and tea supplies weren't replenished daily which was a disappointment. The bed was remade which was a pleasant surprise

Very nice place to stay. Only downside is the (road) noise - yes we did have the windows closed. Not a show stopper but something to be aware of.

Clean, convenient to hospitals, noisy road but good double glazed soundproofing.
Paved area at lower end of of northern first floor stairs unsafe - area 'dished' for stormwater drainage within about 20cm of bottom step - trip/fall hazard.
Poor lighting in 'kitchen' area of our unit.
