We had been staying at Host Group motels for 7 weeks because we found that they are a good standard and there uis a $100 discount for every twelfth night stayed.Shortlands was a pleasant enough stay but did not offer as much as previous stays.For example,at the Teal Motel in Gisborne & Whitianga Beachside Resort, for $150 per night we...

We are a corporate property not a resort. Therefore we do not supply swimming pools and play areas. We do supply everything for the corporate traveler. This visit was over Easter and naturally full price is charged. A week later the room would have cost $150. We do have 1 bedroom apartments but obviously they had been pre booked.No there... More

We stayed in this motel on Christmas Eve and Christmas night, a time of year you expect good service, friendliness, warmth and enjoyment. This is not what we got from this motel. Our Room was NOT ONCE CLEANED during our 2 night stay, beds were not made, towels were not changed, bins were not emptied... In fact no one ventured... More

When people are upset they tend to exaggerate. Over the Christmas period 3 motels on the strip were burgled on the same night. The police were called in .Only at our property did they get into the room . In all other cases they only stole from cars. Our rooms have card locks on the main entrance and they cancel... More

We can't imagine how they ever received good reviews on AAA trevel - it is more than strange. How could this more than dated motel with overrated prices achieve four stars? We were upset about the fact having booked for more than one night. Frauke & Thomas, Munich, Germany More

These rooms were opened in 2005. So they are not old. They chose to have a studio and they knew the price when that made the booking. It should be noted that the room in question had a double spa bath, a super kingsize bed, a 32 inch LCD television, a DVD player, a CD plyer, a private patio with... More

We arrived late (after 8.30pm) and in the motel office, we were greeted by a bit too jolly landlady who, seeing we were foreigners, told us in very slurred speech we'd have to pay the top room rate 'since mid-November is high season' . We did not have much of a choice so we took the room. Accomodation was ok... More

It has taken me a long time to answer this as I feel it is so dishonest 1.I do not drink . So how could I be drunk. 2. November is one of our busiest months of the year and full rates apply I have nothing else to say More

A good clean and comfortable motel which is easily found as it is on the main road and very conveniently situated within walking distance of the main street in Thames. Laundry facilities were free. We would stay there again. More

Stayed for one night at the above with 2 children. Property recently renovated and very clean. Room itself was fully self contained with kitchenette, microwave etc, plus separate bedroom. Decor nice and bathroom recently updated/repainted. Only downside is some units right next to busy road and can be noisy early evening. Also, complex is no longer under Best Western banner.... More
