Hotels With Bar in Taranaki, New Zealand

On the day of checking-in, we found hair and stain marks (mud?) on the bed covering on both beds, however after showing the receptionist the photos, they took it seriously and reacted fast.  The room got cleaned while we were out. They provided us with the complimentary breakfast for two as a courtesy compensation.  With their positive attitude and efficient responses and reactions, we were happy to think that it was just an accident. There must be some sort of car racing going on in New Plymouth on the day of our second-day stay. As we were waken up early in the morning, before 7am, by lots and lots of noises coming from the running of car engines that was so close to us. As we opened up the curtains to see what was going on, we then shockingly saw many racing cars were just lining right in front of the hotel main entrance, getting some sort of registration or something as you can see there was a table and some staff there doing something. Therefore, racing cars kept coming in more and more, and the annoying noises were constantly heard from the engine and people’s talkings over and over until around 7:30am.  Honestly, we were quite unhappy about that! Visitors coming to stay at a hotel hoping to have some good rest, not expecting to be waken up early in the morning in that way.  If they have arranged this type of event, they should have let all other guests know of this in advance when the booking was made to ensure that they are prepared or willing to take it.  Therefore, with this thing happening that morning, I am not sure if I would want to go back to this place or not. Sorry to say that but I didn’t feel well after being waken up that early with constant noises and didn’t feel any respect in the situation. Hopefully to see some improvements there.

The hotel is well located and you can walk to the city and restaurants in 20 minutes, which we found very convenient. Some of the parking spaces are free, otherwise you can park on the street for free. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was inside and separated by two sliding doors. Unfortunately, you have to get used to the fact that in New Zealand you usually have to check out at 10 a.m. Overall, I can highly recommend it.

Carpark spaces also limited, but manage to get parking slot most of the time. Very near to the coast and on higher floors, definitely can see the sea view also. It’s nearby to many dining options from cafe to restaurants and also a mini supermarket. All of these shops and restaurants within walking distance.

The location is far from the beach and the CITY CENTER, but not far from McDonald's and COUNTDOWN, breakfast is OK, the room is spacious, the New Zealand hotel is too convenient for a family of three.

The hotel is good and convenient. The following coffee restaurant is convenient for breakfast. The price is right. The taste is not bad. Everything is suitable. It is also good to go out shopping.

Good price for 5 nights. As I mentioned at reception the room service staff replaced towels that were hung up and which I was happy to use again (contrary to what it said on the card in the bathroom and is now standard practice in most hotels). That was an extra 4 towels to the laundry over 5 days for one room - this all adds up - I am just thinking of the planet and also the autolodge laundry bills!

Some traffic noise at night due to downtown location. Very cute boutique hotel.

A good little Hotel in a small country town, it was clean and tidy and had everything you needed.

Stay in the middle of Auckland from Wellington for one night. The surrounding area is especially quiet, but actually driving to the town is a few minutes~ The room and the view are so beautiful! But the day we went, it was raining, I couldn’t go down to the river to run~ If it didn’t rain, it’s definitely invincible to watch the stars at night~ Upstairs bedroom with large floor to ceiling windows, direct view of the outside ~ The boss is very enthusiastic. After we stayed for a while, we also called to ask if everything is fine~
