Very friendly and accommodating owner.
Booked the wrong unit online. Booked the 2bedrooms unit which can only comfortably sleep 5 but we have 6people. Ended up, we talked to the reception and they gladly changed our room to a unit that can sleep 6. 2queen beds and 2twin beds. Motel was very near town and amenities. So it's just walking distance and very convenient to food and shops.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Hotel near Lake Taupo
The bathroom and WC facilities were poor with doors that didn't close and the general bathroom layout and standard of modern expectations were below an expected minimum standard for a Hotel that claims to have family facilities. Room wasn't properly serviced and no toilet paper are just some of the issues regarding this Hotel. Despite being given wifi access, the wifi failed to work for the whole stay. The swimming pool had defective perimeter drainage and the floor was flooded. Overall the family room requires and urgent upgrade to at least meet modern family requirements.

Great but no hot water!
Great hotel, great staff, comfy beds but no hot water in the shower in the morning, staff indifferent and said the hotel was full so sometimes the hot water runs cold. Shame as the rest of the stay was great.

Fantastic Motel
This is a fantastic motel, beds were so comfortable and the rooms spacious enough for a family. The host was very friendly and helpful, he took time to make sure that everything went smoothly with our stay. Will definitely stay here again.

Outdated, overpriced
The room was very old, the bed was sagging, it wasn't clean, the bathroom mirror was on the wall opposite the sink. For the price it was not a value, and what delay we only had to stay one night as we were traveling in the area.

Disappointing.
Really disappointed in this place. Stayed for one night, room smelled of fish or something (could have been the air cond), went out to town and the smell was worse when we arrived back even though we left all the windows open. The soap dispenser was empty, the heated pool was freezing. Overall experience was poor. This place really needs some work done because it's in a great location!!

2nd stay at Absolute
This was our 2nd stay - last time it was great. This time - there were no soaps or bathroom products. The soap wall container was empty! The only cleaning product was the 50 times watered down dishwashing liquid. It only just qualified as dishwashing liquid as it was so diluted. We felt this hotel might be having financial issues as we paid rack rate (no discount) and got a bed. We had to buy soap - we have never had to buy soap - especially at $200 per night. Please, please, please..... don't penalise the cyclists who stay during Round Taupo time because you have a captive audience. At least fill the soap dispenser.
