Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motor lodge was unclean, dirty windows, dirty and worn carpet, filthy staircase and skirtings. My room - windows had mould on them, only wall plug to use was on a wall across from bed. Terrible wifi - kept disconnecting. The shower had shampoo and conditioner, but the shampoo bottle was nearly empty, and for body wash - it was only a tiny bar of soap. Will never stay here again.

it wasn’t horrible but definitely wasn’t worth what I payed the shower pressure wasn’t great and the head was up to my shoulders. They tend to walk in your room randomly. Which is annoying.

They really looked after us and we had a toddler so wasn’t too much baby proofing of the room required as everything is up high! Excellent location as well, right across from the water and walking distance to shops.

This was an overnight stay at the end of walking the Tora Coastal walk, before a long drive back to Hamilton. The room was comfortable and very clean. Good supply of crockery, etc., and unit had everything we needed to cook breakfast. Nice view across the road to the harbour.

I cant provide a proper review as this is a work trip and I only do the bookings but I can say it is accommodation that is requested by staff so that is positive feedback without details.
