This place had a very misleading Expedia blurb, it was dirty, rude staff and incredibly noisy. Would never stay here again. The only positive is it’s location.

the property is getting very tired and the room could have been cleaner. there was some painting happening in the hallway, so perhaps they are starting to give the place a paint - I hope they do all the walls and not just patch them The spare blanket in the room for the sofa bed was dirty. The sofa bed itself was below standard - the mattress was very very thin. The bedding for the main bed and sheets and towels were very clean and the bathroom shower was hot and had great water pressure - so that was great.

Great location in Taupo - i have stayed here many times and like the convenience and value for money. However I found the place very tired this time - a lack of maintenance is starting to show and it looks a bit rundown. And generally the place was not very clean.

Even for a value property there were issues with the kitchen facility- fridges, stoves all filthy. Grounds poorly maintained. Mattresses were very lumpy and thin. Water pressure in shower great. Room sizes are good. Would not recommend to friends for a stay.

We were late booking over the festive period so lucky to find somewhere and so were realistic as to what we had booked- unfortunately we found the room and in particular the shower/toilet facilities very unhygienic. The female area I don’t think was cleaned the whole time we stayed.
