The owners of the property were very friendly and have me recommendations for the area, provided me a beach towel, and even gave me recommendations for the next place I was visiting. The room was plenty big and I loved the skylight in the bathroom

Thanks for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again
Clean, fresh and really friendly staff. Would happily go back. The only negative was the street noise from revelers and that is a function of the location and not a reflection on the property itself

Hi there, the installation of air conditioning has allowed our guests to keep windows closed on warm nights which prevents a lot of noise. This maybe something to keep in mind when next you stay. We do get some noise on weekends from the the street on weekends however to offset that customers say to have the whole township at the front door is amazing.

Hi there, We are sorry there was noise from a property nearby and that this has affected the score you have given Pacific Motor Inn. Parties of this type are NOT a usual occurrence. We hope you choose to stay with us again.
Owners really polite, accomodating, and friendly.
Location very central.
Room was spacious with separate kitchenette.
The only thing i didn't like was carpark was very small and difficult to manoevre a large vehicle around.

Hi there, car parking in many Motels and Hotels is difficult mainly due to the size of vehicles. We are lucky that most of our parking spaces are good however we agree 6 of them are tight if there a bigger vehicles. When possible we do try to accommodate larger vehicles in easier parks. We hope you stay again.
I loved how easy check in and checkout was and the man (presumably the owner) at the front desk was lovely! Price was appropriate and the hotel is smack bang in the middle of everything! Great location :)
The only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the cleaning products used to clean our room (or bedding) couldn’t quite pin point it. It smelt like vinegar a little!
Other than that loved the stay :)

Dear Guest, yes totally agree with we are in a great position in the middle of the Mount. Will certainly look into the smell and deal with the problem. Do hope to have you back to stay with us.
Lovely welcome. Very new and modem hotel - had everything we needed. Located right by main shops, but just set back from road so not noisy. We really enjoyed and facility was superb. Many thanks!

It is our intentions to put Heat pumps/air conditioning into most if not all rooms in the next few months. We appreciate your review and hope you return for another stay.
Great Location - Motel showing its age but it's very clean, staff are friendly and helpful. A very comfortable place to come back to to unwind and relax. Very spacious rooms.

Hi there we hope you enjoy the rest of your break. Thanks for taking time to review us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The management of the Motel could not have been nicer, nor more helpful. The location was also great - close to the shops, cinema & waterfront.

Thank you for reviewing Pacific Motor Inn. We look forward to having you stay again.
Great motel for short stops, well appointed and nice management. Didn’t get the twin we wanted. Busy roads front and back. Which is beyond anyone’s control but if you’re wanting a lie in then go elsewhere.

Thanks for your review - Mt Maunganui is a major tourist location ... which of course means lots of people. Its a shame that any noise bothered you as our windows are hush glass and just need to be closed. The lane at the back is usually almost unused during evening... but service vehicles do use it from 7am. Unfortunately out of our control. We would love to put QUIET signs up! We do hope you change your mind and visit us again. All the best
