Very tidy and well presented

Amazing customer service!! Great location for Aims Games with netball being across the road.
Everything
Nothing
The property was a good size, the bed was comfortable. The property was located right next to the rugby field, which is where we needed to be each day. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.
Room was great
Pillows and facili
The young lady in the office on arrival was very willing to engage and give information about the area and local happenings with very friendly and helpful mannerisms and advice.
Leaving to go home.
Great location to Blake Park.
Comfort and easy
Nothing!
Very easy check in, and due to the heating not working we were given a portable heater without issues we were very thankful for.
The bathroom window in 11 had no handles as they were broken off, there was also a cold draft coming through it. The heating in the bathroom and downstairs also did not work.
Location
The heater was upstairs and therefore the downstairs was colder. No electric blankets on the beds for winter.
The location was good. No breakfast provided.
There was no box of tissue in the room. The shower pressure was super strong, it is like a fire hydrant!
We loved our whole experience at the Aquarius Motor Inn my partner especially loved how the movie and sport channels were available u don't get that anywhere. The room smelt very nice it was clean and modern staff were absolutely amazing can't wait to come bk.
Nothing
Location was perfect The staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and nothing was a bother for them. Would highly recommend this Motel. We will stay here again.
The location was great, not too noisey. The beds were comfy. Room was clean. Bathroom a little dated but only aesthetics.
Everything
Perfect for us, very comfortable and friendly hosts.
Just perfect for our stay
Lovely staff, great location. Room was very clean and tidy.
The location was really close to everything we wanted to do and the main strip for shopping and nice food places
The customer service was honestly the worst part of this stay. We were not angry or aggressive at all — we simply called because our door would not lock before we went to bed, which is a pretty basic safety concern when paying for accommodation. We genuinely just needed help. Instead of being met with understanding or professionalism, the lady we dealt with spoke to us in such a belittling and rude manner. There were eye rolls, attitude, sass, and a tone that made us feel like we were an inconvenience for asking for help. It was incredibly uncomfortable and honestly quite upsetting considering we had called the exact number provided in their message saying, “If you have any problems or worries please call us.” We were already trying to overlook a number of issues with the room itself — a window that wouldn’t close, a shower head that sprayed water everywhere except onto us properly, a rusting heater attached to the wall, and towels that felt unpleasant to use. We were willing to let most of that slide despite the amount we paid. But the way we were spoken to completely changed the experience. There is a respectful and humane way to talk to customers, especially ones who were calm and simply asking for assistance. Unfortunately, this experience was far from professional and absolutely not worth the money.
Perfect place for work overnight trip. Very clean and well appointed. Fresh milk in fridge a real win :)
A smile and friendly welcome is all you need, but the place is perfect to me. Clean, tidy modern and service is tops. Thank you. We will be back.

Room was clean customer service was warm and kind
No complaints I will return
Aquarius was central to everything, whether walking into town and asking the esplanades or day trips into the center. Apartment rooms are fully furnished, and you can shut the room right up, not hearing a thing from other rooms.
Nothing that wasn't unpleasant but as there are refurbs happening, the a working fan makes all the difference.
Likes that it was clean tidy and good location. Spa bath was a bonus.
The new owners we very friendly, warm and catering. Thank you.
👍
Decore dated Lacked outdoor space
Great location, rooms were well set up if you wanted to do your own cooking etc
Spa wasn’t advertised as not available during our stay
I booked in very last minute and late. Received a message with excellent instructions on accessing my room. I was only there to sleep, the price was reasonable and the room had everything I needed.
The position in mt maunganui was good
There wasn't anything in it that made it special considering the high price. The pool didnt look clean.
Good location, fairly quiet, free off street parking, comfortable beds, good toiletries supplied. Could freeze ice packs in the freezer & an ice cube tray provided.
Pillows lacked substance, UHT milk, thin toilet paper.
Proximity to Bay oval
Great location and conveniently close to all amenieties. Staff were very responsive and friendly. The accessible room was well set up and my husband, who uses a new walker was very satisfied with the access and bathroom set up.
Perfect location to where I wanted to be
Price
A great location and very comfortable rooms.
Very well run motel, convenient for cricket stadium. Spacious reasonably equipped studio apartment
Clean, comfy, air con
Tv at the top didn't have sky tv and kept going in and out of signal.
The room was beutifull and shower.
Nothing to dislike apart from the fan in our room was not working but thats not a big issue it was just hot at night
we had such a comfy stay in our comfy little corner (#8) we loved it!! admin/staff was lovely and very calm :) no noises or disturbances considering it was fully booked out. we just had a hiccup with shower head we couldn't really put onto full power because it would leak but hey it works and we are very grateful! handy that it was close to UB40. air con was a life saver it was so hot outside, as soon as we got back it was lovely inside we will DEFINITELY be staying again xo thank you everyone !

Everything was perfect
Staff friendly and helpful
Very warm welcome v comfortable
Place was very spacious and spotless
All good no dislikes
I like that when we complained about the noisy guests at 3am, the lady took care of it straight away! Thankyou
The bed was a bit hard & the aircon didn't work that well. Aldo the sound proofing in the walls was very bad. Could gear the neighboring rooms going to the tiolet & the crying child
emplacement idéal, personnel très bienveillant et disponible
The location was perfect for the event we were attending, and a short walk into town for meals and shopping. Restaurants and cafes close. The room was spacious and comfortable especially as the air-conditioning was on when we arrived in 28 degree heat.
Would have preferred
Location was great. Facilities were what I wanted.
The bath was not cleaned very well. I had to remove a fair amount of dust and fluff before running a bath. It would have been nice if the tv could swivel around and be viewed from the bath.
Check in was efficient. I was not informed of any additional services or features unique to the venue. Did not get offered any questions around stay, location, areas of interest or recommendations eg hospitality.
Great friendly welcome Good location Plenty of parking Compact unit had everything I needed
Overall pretty good
The ease of coming and going and the option to go to the spa if we wanted.
Not having many options of payment.
Location was great. Very friendly staff. Great facilities in room. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Mould in shower could do with a little bleach.
Location, close to the netball courts and I was able to check in early
Nothing
We travelled to see the Black Clash at Bay Oval so the location of the motel was brilliant! Just walked across the road and into the park. Could not have been easier. Nice private pool.
The bathroom in the disability studio unit flooded each time you used the shower.
Stayed as going to an event at the Oval. Great location, 10 minute walk from the beach, 5 minutes from a supermarket. Comfy bed. Everything was really clean. Only really tired part was the bathroom but it was clean and the shower pressure was great. Walking distance to the Mount too but also a cheap uber ride.
Didn't not like it but you could probably get rid of Sky and just have chrome cast capability.
Staff were very nice, handy location and great cafe across the road!
Carpet feels gross. Value for money.
Great place to stay. Walk about twenty mins to supermarket. Short walk to the beach and a great walk to the Mount via the edge of the water. Has a little road noise but this stops in the evenings. Cooking facilities, great bed and shower. Swimming pool was a little cold for us to try but it’s there for guests.

Very comfy great location and great spot for the money, will be back

The Aquarius Motor in was absolutely perfect for a family stay. Great location, the friendliest staff and lovely pool. Not far from the beach, walking distance to a range of places and such a comfortable room. Will be staying again!
