Beach Front Motel Napier
I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to family and friends. We requested a room change due to stairs, and even though they were full they really tried to accommodate our request. I just wish our coffee was restocked.

We had to change rooms due to a very loud vibrating bathroom fan and the very intense cleaning material smell. So we called reception and their super sweet and helpful staff member came out atn10pm to find us another room. Which was super nice, quiet and no smells! We like to thank you guys again ...
