OK boende för en natt

Var bara här en natt och kom ganska sent på kvällen, så har inget jättestort intryck av stället. Kändes lite trångt och närgånget till de andra gästerna när vi körde in, men inget vi stördes av när vi väl var inne i rummet. Låg lite långt från affärer och dylikt, så var tvungen att ta bilen för att åka och handla. Trevlig manager som försåg oss med kaffemjölk. Lite trångt i köket, men fullt funktionsdugligt, ganska högljud toalett (när man spolade), men fullt funktionsduglig. Överlag rent, men såg några myror och en eller två skalbaggar på rummet. Kanske kom de bara in genom fönstret, som stod öppet när vi kom, men tänk på att ha påsklämmor eller zip-lock påsar om du köper något som du öppnar men inte gör slut på.

Practical and friendly but in need of a makeover

We needed a local room while building work was going at our place. This was local. Check in was friendly and we were offered a selection of rooms, which was nice. We needed somewhere quiet. Unfortunately someone later took the room next door and played music all night til 3am and the walls are pretty thin. The shower was good, decent kitchen, tidy overall. Bed was pretty tragic, so a rough nights sleep but not all the Lodge's fault. I would probably give them another try if I had to.

This is the third time we have stayed. It is convenient to town, it is getting older and could do with a facelift. But we'd come back again.

まあまあなモ-テル

カイタイヤは、レインガ岬を観るために泊まりました。ここへは、1号線経由で行ったのですが、辺境の地という感じで着いたのですが、10号線が、主たる道路のようで、大きな街が広がっており、その一画にあるモ-テルです。建物自体は、結構使いこんでる感じですが、受付の方は感じが良く、色々、街の情報をいただきました。

It was clean, and had what was required. It was dated. The sofa was a little worn out. A little too expensive, considering the area and the overall offering. I would stay there again, as the staff were friendly and helpful. It had a very clean and tidy outside area, with pool, but the weather wasn't suitable.

A very clean room with a modern television and appliances. The mattresses were worn out years ago and resulted in a poor nights sleep.

This motel is near the Te Ahu Centre and within walking distance of several restaurants. The owner looks after his guests very well. Rooms are not fancy, but quite comfortable. I enjoyed my stay here.
