“Winz Housing provider”

Place was nice clean and tidy but beware most guest are staying through winz. Full of broken down unregistered cars. Police visited in the morning. My take is if are going to provide winz accommodation dont mix in paying guests. Although we had very little issues with the other guests me and my wife dont work full time to pay lots cash for holiday to be put in social housing. 4 stars as it was clean and tidy but if I read the last review I would of stayed elsewhere as I want to stay with other tourists not in a social housing unit. *rant* Please dont take this as welfare bashing. I am ok paying taxes to help out the needy but putting people in motels seems crazy. Couldnt book another night in our rotorua hotel as that was getting fenced up to become another covid hotel. Kind of hard to support local economy with travel when a bunch of the hotel we stay in are becoming covid hotels and the motor lodges are full of winz clients.

“Extremely Overpriced”

Hamilton was completely booked out, and over 30 phone calls later I was about to give up hope. 8.30pm and needing accomodation after a family member had been helicoptered to the Hospital there. The lovely man at Beetham Park said he had a room available with 3 beds that would fit us. He was very honest and said that currently the motel was being used as WINZ emergency accomodation. He said that the current tenants were respectful and would pose no problem. And if they did, he would be onsite overnight, and we could ring anytime. Didnt fill me with much hope, but I was very grateful for his honesty. Check In was next store at the Hygate Motor Lodge. The lovely gentleman had kept reception open until 10pm for us to check in. Lots of parking, including directly outside the unit. There were a few kids running around screaming outside, among the beaten up, unregistered unwarranted cars. However once inside, we didn't hear anything, including any road noise from the busy main arterial. Room was dated, and probably not as clean as it could have been, with cobwebs and hair. But the beds were comfortable, and the linen spotless. Good water pressure in the shower. Had a Sky Decoder, but could not get the TV to work at all. There seemed to be a cable missing. At $220 for the night, we found it to be SEVERELY overpriced, and probably taking advantage of a booked out city. I mean really, it was a dated room, in a emergency accomodation motel. Far to expensive for the product received. Probably would only give 2 stars, but have decided on 3 stars purely based on the Gentleman at Reception and his honesty and friendliness.
