We needed a room on the ground floor at short notice as I am currently on crutches, they were so helpful and nice and we got a lovely disabled friendly studio. Everything was new, very clean, large and cosy. I can't thank everyone enough. There is also a good restaurant in the building, which we really enjoyed.

the staff was really friendly, the hotel is nice and clean, ca 7 minutes walk from the nearest bus station (with the direct bus to the city center, about a 15-minute ride). I appreciated the parking. The room had everything we needed.

The 4 apartments that we booked at Brylin Motel during winter school holiday are exceptional. I have not seen a very clean and home-like accommodation in Rotorua, none like Brylin Motel. The rooms and toilets are very spacious too. Amber is friendly and amazing. She has been very helpful and accommodating to my groups' needs. She has been very kind and understanding with the hectic activities and noises of having a big group like us. Thank you Brylin Motel!!! 100% highly recommended.

Location close to town, and not far from ferry to Auckland city. Also close to the Chelsea sugar factory were we booked a tour. The apartment was very tidy and enough room, free parking onsite.

Motel 6 exceeded my expectations. The room was very comfortable also with full SKY available which was a bonus. It was also very very clean. I would stay at Motel 6 again and no doubt will stay there on my next visit to Whangarei.

Fantastic motel - service, cleanliness, lovely room...everything. We needed a late check in and this was not a problem - heating had been turned on in the room (thank goodness), and very helpful staff everytime we rang about our changing checkin. Just brilliant.

My parents enjoyed everything about their stay at Kauri Motel. From the lovely Jacqui who gave them a room upgrade and a complimentary drink. The room was clean, spacious and had comfortable bed. We will be back again for sure.
