Clean, convenient to hospitals, noisy road but good double glazed soundproofing. Paved area at lower end of of northern first floor stairs unsafe - area 'dished' for stormwater drainage within about 20cm of bottom step - trip/fall hazard. Poor lighting in 'kitchen' area of our unit.

Very nice place to stay. Only downside is the (road) noise - yes we did have the windows closed. Not a show stopper but something to be aware of.

It was very handy to Waikato Hospital which was why we chose this motel. It is on a main road so a bit noisy but our unit had double glazing which made it somewhat quieter.

On check in I Had to wait outside for roughly 10min for someone to return and open up. Not a huge deal I suppose. When I actually went into the room later that evening it was so hot and there was no aircon remote. The front desk was closed (earlier than actually listed on their hours) so was unable to complain. We had to sleep with all windows open and the back door open for part of the night, not impressed at all. Also the tv in the second bedroom didn’t work so kids were unable to use this when wanting to relax. Part of the window frame was lying against wall too.

Spacious room with kitchenette and modern extra large shower, comfortable bed. Some noise from the road but not too loud. New World is close by. The motel is located near Hamilton Lake (beautiful place to visit) and not far from Hamilton gardens. Great place for breakfast is Cafe Kirk.
