Beachfront Motel

Room is clean and good.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed!! I’ve never written a bad review before, but had to let others know. The mould in the rooms (multiple, including next to where my kids slept) was gross. Multiple areas with wallpaper coming away. Dirt on the walls. Light shades completely broken. Lights bulbs missing in bathroom. Mould on shower curtain. Yellow blankets (supposed to be white). We were in the 2 bedroom room. STAY AWAY. Paid $735 for 3 nights!! Can’t believe it. I’ve paid less for much nicer. Don’t even know how they can legally let people pay to stay in a room this bad!! Not once we’re towels replaced, bins emptied or toilet paper refreshed.

Great room with plenty of space and a decent size spa bath to enjoy as well. The location is perfect, right opposite the beach and a short walk to venture into town. We will stay again next time we are in the area.

Good value motel right on the beachfront of the resort. Rooms are a bit dated, but they are large, clean, and have all amenities you require. There is a separate living room area bedroom and bathroom, ours also had the added bonus of a very large spa bath. We found them to be very quiet. They were short of staff during our visit, so there no servicing of the rooms, but on request, they did provide clean towels, etc. Overall a good choice for a visit to Napier.

BEWARE. This hotels customer service goes one below zero! We booked this hotel just after the cyclone hit New Zealand. The government declared a State of Emergency and advised that no one should travel to the area. I and my booking agent request a refund but so far they have declined. They are only interested in profit and have no consideration for their customers.

This motel was such good value for money. The studio can sleep 4 and there is a massive spa bath in the main bedroom. Well stocked bathroom and right in the beach. Rosie OGradys has lovely pub food and. lone star worthy of a beer.

Overnight stay, tipping down with rain so we were happy to collect food and eat in our very comfortable family unit - I'd booked a studio but we were given a bigger room, didn't take advantage of the spa bath but it was tempting. The kitchen was well equipped, bed was comfortable, shower pressure really excellent (just what you need after a day's driving. We were able to have a good walk along the waterfront next morning, the Beach Front Motel is well situated with access to tourist attractions. One small point - in the upstairs big units be careful of the top step, we put a dining chair on that step, it would be very easy to forget the step-down is there and would be easy to fall.

Really enjoyed our two night stay in Napier. The motel was exactly as we imagined. Great views fromour balcony and the luxury of a spa bath. The shower room was lovely and kitchen area had a microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and electric non stick pan and crockery and cutlery. Bed really Comfortable as was the w seater sofa. Could have done with a chest of drawers or more shelves in the cupboard. Also need to be patient as they are suffering the same problem of staff shortages as the rest of the hospitality industry, worldwide. Our receptionist, however, remain cool, calm and was always smiling, despite the difficult job she had.

Me and my partner stayed in the one bedroom suite, room 13. We thought that by paying more we receive more, however, we have honestly stayed in places half the price that are twice as good. After 2 days we found a pair of mens underwear in the corner of the room, hidden behind a curtain, so much for the 'covid' clean, bathroom fan made a rattling noise for 3 minutes everytime it was used, carpet looked stained, frayed and grubby, wall paper peeling off walls at skirting boards, toilet flush was dodgy. We complained to staff at checkout who apologised insincerely and explained a renovation was planned. This is not a 4 star establishment and definitely not worth the price we paid, would not recommend.
