The motel felt tired, hot tub wasn't clean and nor was the BBQ. Guest laundry not working. Pretty basic all round in my opinion. Cheap, but not very cheerful.

Overall good however place was tired. Pool paint worn off bottom of pool and chips out of pool stairs. Door stops falling off walls in room. Room smelt of seafood which was off-putting. Rooms dark and dated colours. Floor was dark carpet but had stains and felt dirty and treads coming out of carpet.

Accomodation was average cleaned. Shower was blocked and room service was not done until we mentioned to office staff and everything was done and was in order. The only one thing is less utensils to cook. However, it is pretty good accommodation considering it is motel.

We stayed at Lake Taupo Motor inn for 2 nights as a family of 4. We got lucky with the end room which had big windows and a nice view. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms nice and dark with curtains drawn. It was a nice quiet location although still super close and handy to shops, cafes and restaurants. The pool was too cold for my 4 year old however there was also a spa to warm up in. Great stay

The room was fantastic with plenty of parking. The only downside, which really wasnt too bad at all was that the bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were very uncomfortable and hard. Otherwise it was a fantastic stay.

We only stayed for the night so didn’t get to see much of the property but the staff were great, we had an issue driving up that delayed us and stopped me from seeing the missed calls on my phone, I arrived to the reception being closed so I was expecting to have to find another hotel for the night but thankfully the after hours phone was answered and we were quickly checked in. The room was a great size for three people, the beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was great value for money.

Lake Taupo Motor Inn for the Win!
Last minute decision to stay in Taupo for the night instead of carrying on, have stayed here before quite a few times so knew it was a great place anyways, and was a good deal for the night! Friendly staff, easy parking, clean comfortable rooms, walkable to town for a meal etc. Would recommend and will be back!
