Harbour View Motel on Ahuriri Beach in Napier NZ with sea view suites
Internet was very good. Arrived late for check in, but they left key and a note, so that was really thoughtful. (and appreciated) Only weird thing is that there was a Fridge, Oven, Microwave, Jug etc, but no toaster? First motel I have stayed in that did not have a toaster, so that seemed very strange ...

Bluewater Hotel
Great location. Room had a stale smell. Best pillows by far, beds were warm. Extra blankets needed a wash

Navigate Seaside Hotel
Property didn’t overlook the ocean or beach. There was a restaurant right in front and very noisy. So disappointed that our room did not match the pictures

Anchorage Motor Lodge
Great location. Clean with a friendly staff. Speedy checkin but we couldn’t get the AC to work. Nobody at the front desk to ask. Wasn’t a big deal except for opening the windows meant lots of traffic noice
