Excellent service when contacted Gateway to say I would be late night check in, they arranged my room to be easily accessible and the room was clean and comfortable. AAAA
A very average motel. Needs some maintenance but handy location. Sofa bed Couch smelt and had marks on it.
Friendly helpful staff
Close to the waterfront and Mt Maunganui.
Great hosts, tha ks for a great stay
.
Everything is ok
Clean tidy and quiet 🙂
Super basic place if you need a place to crash. Unfortunately the spa bath didn’t work for our visit. It is close to the train line and highway so there is a bit of noise. Lovely people and clean place.
offroad parking, spacious unit, easliy accesable
Great host 👏
Great space for family, rooms are big. Friendly staff. Easy booking. Will stay again
Great spacious family rooms. Warm and enjoyed our stay. We will be back
Great stay, the room was perfect. We walked to our restaurant for tea which I probably should have done more research it was a little rough but certainly not the motels fault.
Shower was cold in the morning and the bed was hard as a rock. Lots of road noise and can hear people walking around upstairs
.
Nice motel just situated off the busy road but no biggie. Also close to Bayfair Mall and other surrounding shops. Staff very friendly and accommodating and the room also spacious and having the luxury of a smart TV was a bonus as you can use your own device to stream your programs. Highly recommended and would stay again
Lady at check in was really nice and friendly. Room seemed quite clean, shower was good. We did not like the rodents running around in the ceiling which kept us up all night. If we didn’t have to be somewhere in the morning we would have packed up at 3am and left. We didn’t get any sleep. Reported it to the office and lady said she would let the owners know, I hope they sort it.
Was close to motorway and freight train line so a bit noisy.
Excellent for our needs. Very spacious room. Kids loved the spa bath.
Basic, clean and comfortable
I liked everything about the property the room was big and spacious
Nice motel
Fantastic stay with 3 young chicken in two bedroom unit. Very spacious, spa bath great with kids, no noise even at peak summer season. Air con would have been beneficial but was particularly muggy and fans available. Also some smoking areas on deck would be great if non smoking given we had to leave windows open at times. Will definitely return...well set up and comfortable stay!
Good
Clean and tidy but needs a bit of deco to look a bit more attractive. Spa was good. A lot of dead baby cockroaches in front of our two bedroom unit and a few live ones inside the bathroom. Not a gud experience with kids who do not like insects. Cigarette ashes on the corridor Infront of bedroom beside ours. Near by shopping mall which is handy.
Excellent
Liked the spa bath in the unit. Didn’t like the smoking neighbour as his smoke entered our unit.
Not good value for money. Very basic
The property was central for our needs and as comfortable as it could be given the furnishings... we would have liked a comfy chair or two but we sat on the bed to watch the news and that was fine - we made do....The service from the owners was amazing and we appreciated that and we had clean towels every day...
Good sized clean room with very good bed and lots of hot water. Good storage for clothes 5mins drive to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff Parking on site also Thanks very much
Emergency housing. People drinking outside their rooms at 3.30 in the afternoon. No thanks.
Lovely stay especially with kids.
We booked the 2 bedroom apartment for 4 people and was very affordable for such a big room with such big and comfortable beds. Very quiet area too.
Just a little tired but very clean
Stay was fine, just a stopover really.
Great budget hotel. Dishes were a bit dirty and tea towel was grubby and smelled. Beds could be more inviting with more pillows and cushions and nicer bed linin. Wouldnt cost much to get a interior girl in to fancy it up a bit. Overall worth the price though.
Comfy room,
Asked for laundry service would be nice if we can pay extra and do it.Overall is ok , close to venue. Thanks
Everything was nice and quiet .
Close to the arena, good parking and local to the mall Bayfield
A little noisey but nice and clean and close to the mount
Had to change my room when i arruved very considerate. And help full
Friendly helpful staff
Friendly operator & convenience of location
Friendly staff who kept the place clean and tidy. Would recommend
Nice clean motel very noisy but If you like planes trains and automobiles this one is for you
This is a great rest stop along the way for anyone traveling in the area.
John and staff were so very welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much hassle. Beds were comfortable; shower had incredible water pressure and instant heat; and kids loved the Wi-Fi. Looks to be an older building, but had been cared for and renovated. Would absolutely stay again.
Too easy. Thank you
Very nice unit and clean. Would stay again.
Great stay for a quick getaway
Was a great stay
Clean tidy & comfortable. Friendly staff
Property was fine, wasn't perfect condition but no issues
It was very convenient for us who were there solely for the weekend and a competition being held at Trustpower Arena - 2.5 kms away. The added convenience was 1 km away in Bayfair Mall. Will be back next year.
there were a number of items such as the toilet and door lock that didn't work properly and needed servicing. It let the place down.
Noisy - not great
Very loud train and car noises in unit 10 not double glazed as stated: aircon took ages to warm up . Got disturbed by staff twice in the morningOkay for a night in desperation wouldn’t stay again
Good: very clean, friendly staff, location handy for Tauranga CBD and Mount Maunganui beaches, comfortable beds, Sky TV. Bad: noisy water pipes (other guests decided to use their shower between 1.40am and 2.00am and the noise in my room was horrific... but if people use their showers at normal times, probably won't be an issue). Also a fair bit of traffic noise. Rooms were dated, but clean and functional. Neutral: ceiling fans and heaters instead of a heat-pump / air-con, might not suit everyone in the middle of summer/winter.
Lovely staff, easy check in/out, wasn’t expecting the train noise back drop throughout the night.
When I arrived the service was excellent. Could not fault! Room was well presented, clean and comfortable The only downside to my one night stay was both the street noise and train noise both late at night and very early morning (4am). Such a shame!
Great room, warm greeting at check in. Liked the TV in the room over the spa bath. Great cleanliness. Bed was a little on the firm side for me
Great place, great location & really great service
Great place, great location and really great service. Weather was unusually hot so an air conditioning system would have been nice.
Waiting refund
Hotel cancelled prior to my arrival and still awaiting my refund
We stayed in the 6 bed room and all the beds had been made up. Our bed was very comfortable.
Good value stay, friendly service
Stayed for a weekend with my partner - desk service was very welcoming and friendly and the room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Only thing that bothered us slightly was the number of small flying beetle-like bugs that were in our room, which may have been due to the summer season and the proximity to surrounding trees.
Hard to find at first. Could only enter one way and leave one way.
Wrong choice of motel as it was too far from the centre alongside a busy and noisy highway and train line
comfortable room. clean and tidy. nothing spectacular but ideal for a night out at the mount. $18 taxi ride to downtown
It’s very nice & clean. The big spa is great to relax and fun for kids. The staff is excellent and helpful. The only downside is noise from the railway, which was not aware of.
It was clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable. The shower leaked onto the floor. The towels were a bit shabby.
Good location near airport, friendly staff, loved the spa bath, quiet, large rooms.
Good location. Comfortable bed. Everything you need. Didnt like that there is no sink and its a bit loud from traffic.
My husband & l found the bed mattress very hard and to the point where we didn’t get much sleep. Mostly tossing & turning ..............
For a one night stay this property was excellent and very handy to Bayfair Mall
We had a wedding and wanted to get in 2 hrs earlier and that was not a problem.We found Gateway Inn easy to find, close to get to surrounding areas, Loved our room and how it was presented, wonderful staff.
Great location to where I was working. I found the owner very pleasant to deal with. All staff, incl cleaners were very polite. My only issue was the tv. Just was a tad outdated and the audio was rubbish, but they may just be me.
The room I was allocated was # 17. It was extremely noisy. Difficult to sleep.
The only thing that was a miss for me was lack of utensils, i.e. grater, scissirs, a working tin opener & perhaps a jug to mix juice.
It was great but the washing up of the dishes was a little strange
too noisy. I have to use ear plug to go to sleep. location is bad. beside motorway and railway.
location was great was very noisy ,no other comments
Perfectly good motel in an ideal location between The Mount and Papamoa. Comfortabel rooms, nice staff.
Enjoyed our stay. Lovely owners who dropped us off to Baypark to a concert when our taxi never turned up.
Nice comfortable tidy room. Good size. Layout a bit tricky.
Clean and spacious room. Busy road outside. Bathroom ok.
Great location , but no hanging rails or hooks to hang anything.
Noisy spot and single bed had springs prodruding .uncomfortable sleep.dog barking in morning on premises
The location is great - but also bad. Just a little noisy with the trains going past but not too bad really. Rooms are a good size, bathroom is a good size too. The bed was a little bit uncomfortable. The staff are very nice.
Handy
Great experience. Has everything u need. The one thing was that the bed wasn’t the most comfy. But the visit from the owners dog made up for it haha
A great place for touring Motorcyclists to stay!
Stayed there before and happy to stay there again when the opportunity arises, good location on the edge of town and close to Bay fair shopping center. Friendly and helpful staff, always leave room for improvement, but we had an enjoyable stay with them.
Very nice clean and comfortable, very close to shops
Nice cosy hotel
This hotel is nice, not perfect but its clean and tidy. The owners seem nice. We stayed in a one bedroom unit with the spa. There was a double bed in the lounge and 3 singles in the bedroom. The single beds were very comfy but yhe double bed was hard as rock. I would be comfortable here for a long stay if needed and will recommend to others.
Lovely host, and staff, friendly, and helpful.
Very clean, cosy n excellent condition of our unit. Plenty of warm blankets and pillows and staff were more then happy to accomodate my big family. Thank you for a lovely stay.
For the price of this motel I would have expected far more. The location was far from everything and very awkward to access because of the road system! This was not a hotel it was a very basic old fashioned motel!
Very convenient to Mt Maunganui business district
Have stayed here on several occasions, each time very well looked after. Absolutely fantastic, customer CARE focussed managers - most of the guests are visiting on business - they want your stay away from home to be as comfortable as it can be. Small, friendly things like a soft drink or candy make guests feel valued as people, not just resources. Located on a busy transit street and near the railway, transport noise can be a little disturbing if you're a light sleeper but the management take all practical steps to minimise disturbance on site and maximise guests peace and quiet.
Very clean and central
Everything was very good from check in. The only problem I had was the discomfort of the wiring of the electric blanket and firm bed. Everything else was very good and having soft towels really makes the difference
Choice
Quiet and private. Great spa bath, huge
Great Motel
Friendly hosts. Clean room. Everything you need. When you walk into the room you get the satisfied feeling.
Great Stay!
