We arrived on Saturday, having booked online for a four night stay. The Staff were helpful and pleasant to deal with. Of all the seven Motels we stayed at during our stay in New Zealand, this was the newest with the most modern décor. We stayed in their family accommodation which included a separate bedroom with two single beds, the... More

We stayed here 1 night on route to Taupo. Whilst this was a large and modern room offering all the facilities you would need and in fact would want in a stay, the decor was so bland in shades of grey, black and white, you had an immediate sinking feeling of glumness come over you when you entered the room....

Dear KrystyneS, Thank you for your review, which mirrors that of your travelling companion Framps69. Great to hear that you liked the large, clean rooms and our cheerful staff. I’m sorry you like more colourful décor but I’m hoping we’ll see you again sometime in the future. Kind regards, Dave More

Well located a short drive from the centre of Hamilton and local supermarkets, on the face of it, our unit was clean and contained everything we needed, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and decent bathroom with shower. It was quite modern in décor, but really lacked any personality, and its black and white theme was just rather bland.... More

Dear Framps69, Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you liked our location, cleanliness and comfort. We have tried to make our decor classical and understated so I’m sorry you were looking for something more colourful. However I do hope we might see you again the next time you are passing through Hamilton. Kind regards, Dave More

The motor lodge is either new or completely renovated. Bathroom large, modern, clean. Bed and furniture good quality and comfortable. Air conditioner top notch Very quiet area even though located on one of main roads into town. Very convenient to Waikato Stadium (5 minute walk). Overall a very good experience.

We based all our accomodation based on ratings and comments on tripadvisor. This was the first time we have done this and I am pleased to say, we were not disappointed. The Hygate was up to the high standard that had been recommendated by others. Not too far from supermarket and a great pub.

Located some distance from central Hamilton, so need to drive to restaurants. Rooms are large and appear well maintained. Interesting configuration with a long window spanning the kitchen area looking directly onto the car park. Don't know if others can see in, but it gives a feeling of lack of privacy. There is a lot of noise between rooms, so... More
