Also free guest laundry fantastic especially travelling by bike. Unit was clean and spotless.Manager is great very very helpful all staff very friendly. Definitely stay again wouldn’t look elsewhere, also fantastic value. We’ll done many thanks.
Comfortable motel with friendly, helpful host. We found the beds very comfortable and our room (which was at the rear of the property) was very quiet. Only downside was towels were a little worse for wear and room was starting to show it’s age - but was still perfectly fine. Will stay again.
Fantastic motel! We were celebrating a years hard work with all our staff & their partners, so we booked 12 rooms. Kasia was lovely to deal with, nothing was a problem to organize for her, she is very accommodating. The motel is modern and very clean. All our staff were very impressed - no complaints! We woukd definitely stay here again and recommend. We had breakfast at the cafe next door which was super handy & very good.
At short notice we had to find accommodation in Wanganui for a ex work colleagues funeral so a quick hunt online showed Gateway Motor Lodge handy to where we needed to be on a Saturday morning. The owners were very friendly. We asked where we might find a nice breakfast Saturday morning before the funeral service but were not given much to go on. The room was as described. Showing signs of wear and tear but bed was comfy and room had everything we needed. Unfortunately the sign out by the busy road which said ”sound proofed rooms” must have meant sound proofed between the rooms because the rooms were not sound proofed from the road noise outside. We should have realised when we opened the cutlery draw and found ear plugs. Athough Heads Road isn't a major road, it is a busy road. All day and all night. Be warned.
We were a group of 8 women so needed 4 rooms, each with 2 beds in. The rooms were perfect for us. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows also. Everything in the room, kitchenette and bathroom was very clean - when we walked in, it smelt clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Location was very central to the cbd. Amazing value for money - would highly recommend.
The motel is very dated and needs a total refit. On arrival, the surfaces were wiped and bedding clean. However, the windows, mirrors and doors were dirty. Cleaning under the sofa cushions had not been done for a long time....plenty of crumbs, paper, etc. Big problem with ants in the kitchen area. The staff were helpful and responsive with insect spray, but thorough cleaning behind the cooker and fridge are needed.
