The room was very clean and well-equipped but really could benefit from some refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and made up daily to a very high standard. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water The receptionist was pleasant and welcoming and the cleaning staff were helpful and responsive. Overall, this is a very good place to stay.

Stayed at Summit Motor Lodge in Tauranga and was really impressed! The place was clean, comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The location is super convenient — close to shops and easy access to the motorways. But the best part for us was that it’s pet friendly, which made our stay so much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tauranga!

Nice play, family friendly, had all the essentials. The only downfall is the plumbing. We could hear some plumbing lines in the wall bag constantly when someone was using the shower. Besides that, receptions was super friendly!

The room was dated, but clean and tidy and well appointed. However, there was no milk supplied, and no soap in the bathroom soap dispenser. The shower pressure was not very good either. Parking is a little difficult to navigate in the end rooms. The room had a really nice view though and the area seemed safe and was close to town.

A solid option if you need a bit more space, but are on a budget. The owner is gradually renovating the units, which are in need of new carpet and paint etc. Having a seperate cookable kitchen and dining table is great. Comfortable beds. Crisp, clean linen and towels. Nice and clean on arrival, but no servicing done on day 1. Unsure if this is usual Outdoor swimming pool and spa to good standard. Easy access to main roads for City, Mount and Bethlehem. Thanks for a great, affordable stay

Location was handy to the concert we attended. Upon check in, we did not receive a complimentary milk (as they didn't have any avaliable on site!) Room and furnishings were VERY dated. Kitchen tap wouldn't stop leaking, the cupboard under kitchen sink wouldn't close. The curtains had holes in them, and the clothes draw also wouldn't shut. Bathroom was tiny! Pool was nice, but the spa didn't work (no bubbles just warm water) Owner is a lovely lady!
