The bedroom & bathroom were clean & tidy, with a good air con unit in the bedroom. Staff were friendly as well. The hotel is in a great location in Paihia. The only minor issue is a lack of room safe, and the shower in the bathroom could do with an upgrade - just wasn’t powerful enough

Motel style accommodation. Clean room and bathroom. Bed comfy enough. Separate toilet and washbasin. Nice fluffy towels. Plenty of parking. Walkable to good places to eat or for shopping. Nice walk along the beach. Internet could be slow at times and limited number of points for charging phones. TV a bit tricky to work out - instructions would have been useful.
