Sorry to say this was one of the worst motels we have stayed in Taupo, staff were only there to take your money the rest of the time front desk was closed. Lack of instructions about the place and what to do with door opener when leaving, in the room mattress was broken base was stained, between two people one face cloth, one hand towel, no bath mat, on leaving no hot water for a shower, no dish liquid, no dish cloth. Overall disappointing stay. D & P

Parking is tight - so a smaller car is preferable. There was no room service, but we were only there for the weekend so we didn't mind

Local Friendly & Clean :)
Stayed 6 nights solo, the hotel staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. My room 210 had its own balcony which I could see the lake from. Only a 10 minute walk into town, local museum etc. Unfortunately the fridge was not working properly but I'm sure easily fixed. The QS bed was comfortable and quiet later at night so slept well also. I'd stay here again for sure.

NO HOT WATER!
Worst place I have ever stayed in! The hotel is dirty. The staff are very rude! THERE IS NO HOT WATER! The "king bed" is 2 single mattresses pushed together badly. The room is NOT lake facing! Completely misleading! DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Disappointed... The property was ok, the service was fine when we checked in but the communication was terrible... rang reception twice to have our bin emptied.... no one came. Also rang to ask for another blanket and we waited 20 minutes only for housekeeping to bring a sheet.... The "Extra Large double bed" is INDEED NOT. Its 2 sing beds pushed together... there is only 1 thin duvet inner (which has no cover) and about 4 sheets on the bed. Would not stay again.
