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.

Sorry to say this was one of the worst motels we have stayed in Taupo, staff were only there to take your money the rest of the time front desk was closed. Lack of instructions about the place and what to do with door opener when leaving, in the room mattress was broken base was stained, between two people one face cloth, one hand towel, no bath mat, on leaving no hot water for a shower, no dish liquid, no dish cloth. Overall disappointing stay. D & P

Disappointed... The property was ok, the service was fine when we checked in but the communication was terrible... rang reception twice to have our bin emptied.... no one came. Also rang to ask for another blanket and we waited 20 minutes only for housekeeping to bring a sheet.... The "Extra Large double bed" is INDEED NOT. Its 2 sing beds pushed together... there is only 1 thin duvet inner (which has no cover) and about 4 sheets on the bed. Would not stay again.
