Booked it based on good reviews from the internet. Motel was very clean and tidy. Staff were most helpful. Kitchen area was very basic but everything else was just perfect!

Arrived late for an overnight stay as part of a business trip. Reception was friendly and room was well presented. The hotel had complimentary drink vouchers for a local restaurant if you ate there and it was walking distance so helped with making a quick decision on where to eat. Overall a good experience and I would recommend this hotel.

Our unit was very spacious and afforded excellent access and maneuverability for my wifes power wheelchair,
If I had any negatives, it would just be the parking, as the car park out side our unit was often used by other guests.

Unfortunately I had an accident just after we arrived in Gisborne and had to stay in hospital. My husband stayed at the hotel and thought it was excellent. Our friends and family came and visited us.
