too noisy
Too Noisy
Cleaners were so helpful and caring.
The only issue I have is that there was a connecting door between another room. Not aware of this when booking. Would not had book if I had known.
We didn’t have breakfast there
Only 3 pillows. Not easy to watch tv.
It was lovely and clean everything was there that we needed, although no body lotion samples etc
easy to find, efficient check in, friendly staff
outside motel a bit of truck noise on rd to port. an electrical socket by tv is sloppy. & 1 bedside light gone
Within walking distance to the beach and city.
Room very clean and tidy.Good shower .
close to road and have trucks going past at 4.00am.
We loved our stay, central to all the places we needed to go to, loved the rooms and kitchen facility absolutely wat we needed for our whanau 😊😊 we WILL be back 👏😁
Only thing we didnt like was the big bed it was a bit uncomfortable as you could feel the zip for both mattresses submerged together but absolutely loved our stay otherwise 😁😁
Very spacious. Exceedingly clean. A lovely cleaning lady
It was clean, quiet
Beds were super hard and uncomfortable.
The location is excellent! It takes only 2 minutes to walk to the seaside, 13 minutes to the downtown commercial street, and 6 minutes to the warehouse. The rooms are spacious, with complete facilities and immaculate cleanliness. Particularly commendable is that there is a restaurant next to the Office! The meals are simply superb! The Korean cuisine is incredibly delicious! It is both convenient and delectable. This is the most highly recommended accommodation in Gisborne for me!

Friendly hosts and cleaners.
Great parking space.. restaurant was on site - clean and reasonably priced.
Outside sign with name needs a paint.. hard to spot/read when looking.
Clean and very comfortable
Nothing
Close to town. Helpful staff. Good sized car parks
Restaurant has no liquor license
Great food,lovely staff
No alcohol on site yet 😔
It was clean, tidy and the room was very spacious for a family of 5
The guest laundry facilities only had 1 washing machine & dryer for the entire complex making it rather difficult to do any washing onsite.
There has been some good upgrades from when we stayed last time
NA
Great location, nice and clean even had a little restaurant
Nothing great
The motel was immaculately clean and had everything I needed staff were ever so friendly and went out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Great job team 😍😍 Amazing massive bath too 💕
Bar and restaurant onsite, clean and well hosted.
Clean rooms Polite staff
The prices for food
Everything really good
everything fine
Nice staff, nice unit....
Very nicely set up room, extremely clean and welcoming. Excellent reception
Found bed a bit small
Location to beach was it was soo close
Our family emjoyed our stay
Big room and comfortable. Great location for beach and town
Noise from the road early in the morning on the week days as trucks go past.
Clean room. Perfect for an overnight stay. Very quiet part of town.
It was all good.
Liked the property
Only one complaint When we arrived there was half toilet roll. It was used and we couldn’t find anymore. So had to use the tissues
Parking awesome Room nice n big
Everything is always pretty great when we stay here. I’ve stayed here several times & it’s always my first choice when I come to Gisborne.
The noise of the trucks in the morning is a bit annoying but unavoidable & doesn’t put me off.
Good value for money.
Room very clean, bathroom facilities good. Availablity of restaurant helpful
Noise levels in morning high due to timber trucks on the bypass road
Clean and tidy with everything you need - great location to the beach and town
The place is noisey!
The area and close to the beach
The whole room would shake when a truck drove past 😆
It suited exceptionally because solo elderly women, parking outside door, easy transferring suitacase an stuff. Plenty clean towels, spa bath, comfortable warm bed. Felt safe. No dark corridors to walk along, no closed rooms behind you, and no stairs and pulling along baggage.
Close to sunshine brewery

This is one of my fav motels in Gizzy
We had a room upgrade and the room was perfect
There was a blinking street light outside our room
Great size in room spa bath. Room was warm and had all u needed for a great stay.
Busy location... lots of outside noise. QR code menu for ordering room service not clear but uber eats made up for it.
Bathroom for the size was spacious and really well laid out. The location is ideal, accessible to the main routes and to the city. Parking is excellent and I used the laundry facilities to dry some wet clothes I brought with me.
The room was dark and the lights had to be on during the day. I was working from the room for a few hours, and the lights were bright and really impacted me being able to find the right spot to sit during teams calls. Next time, I'd upgrade or request a room that faces directly out to the carpark for better lighting.
The Doubles Spa bath in suite was worth it. Location close to beach, town and cafes.
Unsure about room service. Had qr code menu but no function to confirm room before making payment. Didnt want to take the risk. Uber eats was easier.
Location
All good
was fine, room smelled of cigarette when first checked in but we opened the windows and it improved. room was clean when arrived.
the position of heatpump was a but awkward but room did warm up
Convenient, clean and tidy.
very large room, lots of space, would be easy for a wheelchair. lovely large parking space
The hotel was well located, clean and tidy. It was everything that was advertised.
Nothing to mention.
Lovely hot shower rooms were clean and room service was well done
No blinds in shower or kitchen windows so with the light on and dark outside felt I could be seen in the bathroom. Air conditioning smelt of fish which was unbearable when turned on. Spoke to reception. No other rooms available so asked for a plug in heater which was provided.
Location was good.
The bed was very uncomfortable and worn out. Room was extremely small.

Nothing
2bdrm apartment for 5 of us. Everything was perfect. Will definitely be back in the near future 😁
Lovely and clean, staff so helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking when you have a trailer. Close to beach and town.
Bed was a little average, noisy with lots of trucks passing but didn’t hear them at night.
Calm place Good service and the main thing is everything is near to the motel which I like most
Nothing All good
