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.

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.

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.

Tired, worn old motel in need of update. Patched drywalls need paint. Terrible queen bed - woke up with sore back. Communal kitchen is barely functional - 2 electric stoves broken but 1 gas stove worked, dishwasher broken, no tea/paper towels to dry dishes (and you're expected to clean up). Clean dishes, cutlery and utensils were wet. Would not recommend.

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.

The lodge needs an upgrade. It's looking very tired and worn. It's painful that there is no lift to the 2nd floor and no one to help you either. On the plus side the cleaning staff do a good job.

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.
