This is a really nice place but let down badly by the initial bedroom temp.. it was freezing! Hotel supplied a 2 bar fan heater… it took 4 hrs to bring room up to a comfortable temp. Mussel entree was a dried up mess. Beer battered main not much better. Breakfast was excellent

Thank you for my wonderful stay. I will most certainly return when visiting New Plymouth again. The only recommendation, I have is I feel the bathrooms require an update as it's relatively older. Shower pressure is fantastic. All staff were absolutely super! Very helpful & any request was warmly welcomed & actioned.

Good size room with proper cooking facilities, 4 hot plates & full size oven. Only thing we weren’t keen on was the high breakfast bar with bar stools. These were not practical for our age & mobility to get on to.

This property was wonderful, accommodating a small family plus 2 dogs. First time using a pet friendly motel and this place was excellent. Close and handy to everything! Only comment I could make was the shower/bath could use a deep clean, other than that - excellent! 👍

The staff provided exceptional and welcoming service, and the facility's location and availability were convenient for travelers. However, the noise level was quite disruptive; I could hear everything from the floor above, and it seemed like there was a party happening. Unfortunately, this made for an unpleasant night, especially since I had to check out at 4 am.
