Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a true bargain considering the spacious room with a lovely patio view surrounded by trees and palms. The older style bathroom was impeccably clean. The only hiccup was a small issue that was promptly resolved for my next visit. The peace and relaxation offered at the price I paid made it an absolute steal.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of relaxation and slight isolation due to the room's lovely patio surrounded by trees and palms but being somewhat distant from the main buildings. The spacious and clean room offered a great view but felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the hotel. The service was attentive, especially in terms of housekeeping and laundry offerings. The location was ideal, close to New Plymouth's center but still peaceful. The dining experience was fair, and having meals delivered from a local restaurant was a convenient touch.
I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll from the waterfront and a quick drive to town. The rooms were cozy with a comfy bed and tea/coffee facilities. The bathroom, although older, was spotlessly clean. However, the hotel could benefit from a little makeover. The service was good, offering helpful assistance with housekeeping, laundry, and tours. The dining experience was fair, especially being able to order meals from a nearby restaurant. Overall, a convenient place for our trip with a few areas that could be improved.
Our stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The rooms worked really well for our family group, were ready early, and were the cleanest I have ever stayed in. They were spacious, well-equipped with all facilities, full Sky TV, and free WiFi. The location was great, especially due to the easy proximity to Ngamoutu Breach, where the event was held the next day. However, it was unfortunate that the location of the hotel was also the cleaners' 'smoko room'.
The hotel was fine, left due to a super busy weekend in New Plymouth. The rooms were quiet with no noise from the main road or neighbouring rooms, offering an extremely comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. However, it would have been nice to be staying in rooms next to each other and the parking area was overcrowded.
