Good size room and comfortable bed
Gardens very neglected and lots of weeds Cigarettes smell in reception when dropped key off
Nice big room, perfect location - really quiet. Great heating
Our room was infested with ants
Clean, comfortable bed , nice private outdoor setting for my unit. This was my 4th stay at Aspen , won’t be the last
Heated flooring was a welcome surprise
The room we had was large clean and tidy with plenty of tea coffee supplies
How it’s so close to everything
Heated floor
Couple channels didnt work but than Peter and information booklet did say to let them know and they will get it sorted.
A good space for a family of 4. Really liked there was enough sofa seating for all which you don’t get in many motels. Kitchen well equipped and brilliant low shelving for suitcase storage.
The string smell of fried meat in the room when we arrived. Walls are quite thin so could be a little noisy.
Had no breakfast
No complaints
The motel is dated, but clean warm and comfortable. The only negative was the hot water was not hot enough for a bath. Fine for a shower but not enough for the bath.
Clean and warm
Beds too soft but that’s personal preference
Nothing they cancelled 5 mins after paying a non refundable unit and I lost my money they still asked me for review this what you get
Everything staff was not willing to help me aye George
The room was exceptionally clean and we had everything we need for the night. Owner stayed up late to wait for us to check-in, much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Beautiful Motel, Greeted by the nice man at Reception with his Cat. Nice Hosts.Lovely size Unit and very comfortable bed. Highly recommend to anyone to stay there. Good price for unit. Roast place was down the road and very nice dinner. Carol. Bay of plenty.
First time staying at Aspen Court.Had no problems with the room and facilities.Cleaning staff were very accomodating and the man on reception was nice as well.Would definitely stay again.
Presentation and clean
Not friendly welcome
Great overnight stay. Very helpful Manager allowed us to change to an accessible room due to my error when booking. Very clean, well equipped rooms.
Booked for 2 Adults and a child and got told on arrival that it was only for two adults .. room only slept 2 adults . No option available at time as fully booked. No offer of a roll out .. child slept on floor as couch too small and uncomfortable . Felt as we were impeding on managers asking for laundry key .. I think it was their dinner time 🙄.
Comfy beds and convenient location. Under floor heating made the rooms comfy!
Was fantastic to be able to have our dogs with us and for somewhere for them to have a wee, a lot of hotels dong have a grass area, was perfect
Comfortable beds, great heating in the middle of winter, cute cat!
Little bit noisy being on a main highway but the facilities made up for it
Very well equipped, comfortable, warm (in winter) and very well maintained units -perfect for a couple of nights stay. Good value for the price. 40Mins drive on a lovely scenic road from Ohakune so perfect alternative at peak ski season. I have stayed here many times over the years and standards have always stayed the same which is good to be able to rely on!
Nice big room and clean.
Not enough towels for 3 people and took awhile to find staff to source more.
Beds had hairs both on top and under the sheets, room reeked of curry
Clean rooms, and always clean when we leave and come back.
Being parked in room 9 in the corner is hard when the two rooms next to you have big utes to squeeze into
Yummy heated floors and spa ✨
Quiet and relaxed
Excellent place for small family. Spacious and comfortable.
None
Bed was comfy. Room was warm
Coffee
Lovely warm and clean accommodation. My only recommendation would be take your coffee. Spa bath was great and I loved the body wash .
Friendly staff, enormous rooms, lovely and clean . Crisp linen and a decent shower
Once again, a great place to break a long journey. Warm and comfortable, even the proximity to the trains didn't disturb us.
Value for money and location
Clean and tidy
The cold tap ran hot. The tv channels were not working properly. Only 4 or 5 to choose from.
Clean and comfortable.
The location and reception people were good
There was an ant infestation in the kitchen of my room. The cold water didn't work on the tap for the first night The beth with its so called jets didn't work The tv was old and the picture was dying and the channels were not programmed so only a couple works.
Very clean quiet place
N/A
On route to Wellington with an overnight stop here, wasn’t expecting much as we have a dog but pleasantly surprised. Clean and tidy with a spa bath, power shower teas and coffee. Great value😊
Room was huge. Bed was comfortable. With not alot of options in area was nice to find a good clean freiendly very warm (with no heating on) room
Always grinds my gears when Tea n coffee not restocked eg cookies etc on more then 1 night sta. we pay same night per room should get same
All good and looking to return this month.....
Close to town
The room smelt like curry
Clean comfortable room
Nice motel, the newest in Taihape. We had an executive studio which was a bit more roomy and at $170 was reasonably priced. You are on State Highway 1 so the trucks rumble on past. But all the motels in Taihape are on SH1. We ate at The Roast Cottage. Two decent sized meals, a beer and a wine, great value $61.
clean and comfortable, easy to find
Handy for us and able to park my bus across the road. Very clean facilities.
always clean quiet good location
We had 2 rooms they were very clean and spacious well stocked with tea,coffee,milk spa bath was awsome and the beds were very soft and comfortable just what you need after a long day on the road we stayed here for 2 nights asked staff for extra towels and they were very pleasant happy to help very nice motel thankyou for the accommodation regards Kire Tahere
We were given unit 1 right on the highway. The old gentleman at the counter was unpleasant and assured us the room was quiet and had double glassed glass for the noise from the trucks, which was very loud. The trucks come by around every 5 minutes and run right through the night. The engine braking and vibration from the trucks was unbearable. We tried goi g to sleep at 9pm. We didn’t get to sleep until 2am. I have never experienced such a large volume of trucks constantly going past a motel. And at speed. I would not stay at this hotel again.
Very nice motel
Price was high
The room was clean and the beds were so comfy. Front desk staff was lovely and very accommodating
Nothing
Located on the main highway, Aspen Court is very easy to find. Also, very close to the main town. Atmosphere was very homely with staff being welcoming anf friendly. Rooms offered plenty of space with all amenities at arms reach. Accommodation was very clean, and a nice surprise that rooms were also cleaned daily. Definitely great value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Clean, convenient and spacious
