We were a group of 21 visiting from out of town for a 40th birthday at Spookers, and this motel was a prime location and excellent place to stay

Didnt realise initially it was more of an apartment rather than a motel as such but this suited us fine. Only stayed one night to go to the rugby, but was nice and close so walked to Speights Ale house for a drink and a bite to eat before the game then over to the stadium was perfect.

Standard motel room with older-style fittings and with a good view of Lake Taupo, and quite comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the spa after walking the Tongariro Crossing. A pleasant walk into the centre of the town, and a good coffee van located just across the road and along a bit.

The room was huge!!! I was originally going to have a friend come to stay as well but she couldn't make it. It's not modern but I like the old schoolness of it. Great location, and I found free parking on the road 10 mins walk away which was fine for me. Awesome restaurants - I recommend the kebab place next door and naughty naan across the rd - both open late. Naughty Naan is by far the best Indian food I have ever had! Friendly, helpful staff.

Booked a upgrade so that I could have a two bedroom unit off the road. When I arrived at 4.45pm there was a large pipe on the road outside the motel blocking access to the unit that I had booked so stayed in a one bedroom unit on other side of road. Very noisy as right by road and basic unit with no extras. Adequate but nothing special.

We stayed in a ground floor apartment with spa. Great size. Loved the thermal pool at the Motor Lodge, especially as we were staying in Winter so it was quite cold outside but the pool definitely warmed us up. Very clean rooms and you can see the decor has been updated/refreshed recently. The rooms were also very warm due to thermal under floor heating. Would absolutely stay here again especially with the lake front views that the motel offers.

We always stay here in Hamilton. Superior motor lodge at a good price. Very good sized rooms with everything you need at an excellent standard. Staff are great and the manager rang and offered us an early check in. Very close to hospitals, takeaway shops and city centre. Always refer this motel to people wanting accommodation in Hamilton.
