Inability to get consistent wi fi connection. Would frequently be unnable to make a connection or else the connection would "drop off" within a very short period of time.

This property was dirty- snot on the walls, dirty windows, the toilet roll holder was falling off the wall. There is no art work on the walls at all. The beds were very uncomfortable, very hard. The photos on line are not the unit you stay in.

The property was OK . The owned needs to deal with the issue of the fire alarm which is very sensitive to steam and the heat of the toaster and folks have to be careful taking a shower not to set it off.

The staff were helpful and friendly😃 Was a clean room but had a stale smell. Had a single bed that was like sleeping on a board or floor. It was so hard and very uncomfortable. If i was to come back again i would ask for another room. Ok place if its just for an overnighter.

We had a awful experience at this motel. The owner who checked us in, was rude,and nasty. There was a mistake with a booking, and she made sure she made more money off us that should not have happened.. I would not recomend this place to anyone.

The Heritage promotes itself as an upper-end motel, and it charges accordingly. It definitely over-promises, and there are far better places in town - where we normally stay. I have used motels in Oamaru four times (multiple nights each stay) over the last six weeks, and the Heritage was not worth the money. North Star and Colonial are better options.

The studio room was spacious, clean, tidy, and had everything we wanted. The information folder was useful; The lovely young woman at reception was very friendly and explained everything clearly. We ordered room service which arrived exactly on time and was hot and very tasty.

Not 4 star
The unit 12A was poorly cleaned. Maintenance has been very neglected. The heated towel rail was hanging off the wall. Vanity doors were loose. Carpet was stained. When I asked for stove to be cleaned it was just covered over with foil. Not 4 star!

Lovely room
Lovely, spacious and clean room. Great shower. Only problem for us was how hard the bed was. We found it much too firm but that is all down to personal preference.

This motel is certainly affordable, which compensates to some extent for it being rather uninspiring. Musty smell, suspicious stains on the underside of the bed cover and a very unstable/unsafe looking armchair. It provided basic kitchen equipment but no hob. It was also extremely hot with no fan. However, the bathroom was spacious and clean and the beds comfortable, so ok for one night.
