We stayed in this motel for two nights.Good sized room and bathroom. Had a nice balcony off the main living room on top floor. Air conditioning was good to have. Would stay here again, but would need to have a far better bed/mattress than the one that we slept on,which badly needs replacing. Mattress has rips at the side.Top bedspread... More

Nicely appointed rooms, with kitchenette facilities, and a sparkling bathroom. Walking to the town or to the lake took only a few minutes - perfect location. The only thing we didn't like about this motel was that we could hear everything that was going on in the rooms either side of us! Very thin walls, so if you're a light... More

We stayed in this motel one night. Check was very quick and efficient. Parking was close to the room but not right out side. Our Studio room had a nice balcony and whilst it was on the road front it was very quiet. Well equipped kitchen and great shower in more than roomy bathroom. Hair dryer was a little annoying... More

Lovely clean place to stay and the 'ici9ng in the cake' was the large spa bath in our room. The price is very reasonable with a hot or continental breakfast in your room included Our hosts were extremely helpful and cheerful. We have stayed before and will do again.. More

We booked an Executive Spa Suite on 6th January via the website for the nights of the 16/17th January and received an email confirming the booking straight away after completion. On arrival at the motel on the 16th (after a three and a half hour drive) we were told there was no record of our booking. On producing the email... More

We stayed at the Taupo Motor Inn this month whilst in Taupo for a golf trip and whilst I was a little underwhelmed by the accommodation it was satisfactory and the service was good. Checking in and out was fast and easy and our hosts accommodated our needs well. The room was clean and tidy, we used the pull out... More

The Lake Taupo Motor inn was good value. The lay out of the unit allowed the kids to have their own room, even though on this occasion it was just the two of us. The breakfast was delivered at the time requested and was a good start for the day. The unit was clean, spotless and well maintained. The only... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights after a camping holiday, thinking it would be nice to stay in a motel to end our rainy camping holiday. It wasn't to be. We had to rewash all the plates and cutlery before we could use them (with the one centimeter in the bottle that was provided). Our son likes playing... More

We checked into this Motor Inn for three nights/ four days over new years as a holiday break. First impressions of the room were relatively good - we had a good sized two bedroom apartment that had a separate toilet and shower. It wasn't the largest place I have stayed in, but it was a comfortable size for four adults... More

Fair price, quiet location conveniently just a few blocks from town center. For our 3 adults, we had a room with twin beds in the first room where one enters, while main room tightly held a queen bed, a table and 2 chairs, and there was a balcony with table/chairs. Kitchen was fully equipped, though we had a good hot... More
