193 Aorangi Manor Motel

Overall I would stay here again, but keep in mind it is an older style motel, the beds are worn and I would say the shower head needs replacing in the unit we were in, it was more like a hose. Clean and comfortable though.

Very outdated motel for the price to stay per night. First impression was clean. But only had towels replaced each day, no cleaning in room. Bed not even made or changed. Was cold, but heaters old and noisy, so could not leave on over night.

Booked 3 rooms. clean rooms but very expensive. Be aware road workers have most of the rooms for a couple of months and party til the wee hours on the weekend. Kept us all awake. Pool not operating as advertised

Horrendous experience - considered going home on first day, or moving motel. Ended up just going out all day long to avoid being there. No character at all to the outdoor area, everything inside felt like it was from a second hand shop, including linen and beds, extremely uncomfy. Couch so old you could barely sit on it. Ants in the kitchen. Cleaning not done fully. No air con on stinking hot days. Don't be fooled by advertising on website - photos vs reality two very different things. No pool, doesn't look like its getting fixed this century! Staff extremely rude! In a nutshell - worst Motel I have ever stayed in and never would again - totally advise to stay away. Also this is my first review ever - but feel like I need to warn others.

Great little spot for exploring Blenheim, close to the town centre but plenty quietly enough at night. Sue and Colin were very friendly and welcoming. The room was equipped with all you’d need for a short stay. The bed itself was comfortable and the room spotless. I would recommend!

Cleanest motel we've stayed in for a long time , kitchen had everything we could need

Whilst dated, we had a Large motel room with everything you need. Very clean. Service was great. Good for the price.

Shocking cold reception as we were wanting to check in 2 hours early on CHRISTMAS DAY. There was literally one other car so they were not busy at all but the grumpy old man at reception told me off.Then!...one of my children vomited and got some on the sheets. We cleaned up a little off the floor and had it all tidy and sheets *****ped off ready for cleaning. We even left a sorry note under the door...he said he did not see this...then went on to charge me $350 for cleaning!!!!!! Outrageous . I'm very sad and extremely gutted they charged me that much, and also said they had to block the room off for 2 days, which is total rubbish. Doesn't take2 days to clean sheets. Horrible person, and made us all very sad as its money also that I definitely don't have.
