    There was a plumbing issue. Could hear water running all night in the roof like a tank was continually trying to refill. Beds were very hard.

    Close to the venue I was needing to be at. Could get two rooms for all the family. Affordable. Warm.

    The units need to be renovated. The bathroom in particular had seen better days. The "couch" in the lounge very hard and uncomfortable

    The location is great and it was quiet. The units are spacious.

    Incredibly dated and clearly seen better times, although clean and had everything you needed. Shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot, so not useable really.

    Great electric blanket, bed very comfortable. Handy having a decent kitchenette although never used it. Cheap!

    Very dated, not the cleanest - avoided using the shower/kitchen/bathroom as we only needed somewhere to sleep for the night after a function, so had the luxury of having alternatives the next morning. Weird dirt and seeds on bedside table, didn't seem very maintained aside from making beds/changing sheets.

    Comfortable bed, sheets seemed clean, helpful staff member who was available to meet at requested check in time. Little complimentary chocolate bars were a nice touch.

    the lounge sitter was like a school bus seat, very hard and no comfort. electric blanket controls were facing the wall and had to remake bed so the control cords were easily excess able beside bed. Queen size beds electric blanket only one side was working. the other sides 3 pins in the plug, one was bend and so we fixed that. On arrival the room was not aired out, every thing was damp and musty and could smell smoke. we noticed the condensation on windows in morning and if you had catches on window which were burglar proof could have left the window open. with no room service, toilet paper ran out. no tea towels, no vacuum cleaning done in the five days we were there. one light socket was broken in the lounge.

    The general level of cleanliness was disappointing - light switches had old fingerprint marks on them, mirrors had previous marks on them, we had to keep evicting spiders we found (several dead so wasn't like they had just come in!), clear up crumbs of previous food (not ours), bowls in cupboard had old food items crusted on (looked like cereal). Sadly the free tea was undrinkable - tasted like lemon dishwater (Porter teabags), the drawers had dirt marks in the bottom and the stovetop had old foil under each pan hob area which looked quite old and the scrubbing brush to do washing up needed a good clean itself! The sofa was like a hard airport seat and was unbearable and not comfy - so we often sat on the dining chairs or the floor. We went out to see family and when we came back a bedroom light was on and a door closed which we had not done yet none of the rooms had been serviced (no beds made, no more teabags etc) we could not work out why our room had been accessed as it wasn't cleaned. and bins not emptied. No clothes airer and it was a wet few days so had to improvise with an ironing board. Towels provided were very stiff and scratchy so showered at our families house and only one coat hanger provided in the wardrobes for 3 people so just ended up living out of our suitcases. In the bathroom there were several soap dispensers but not clear what was in each one, very confused!

    Well located for Rangiora town centre Parking space was covered and clearly allocated for the room in the shared parking area. Kids small playground available (but it rained so did not use). Room was large, two bedrooms good size, separate toilet to shower was useful off the kitchen. Heat pump worked well on evening when it was colder. Other rooms I saw as we walked past looked recently decorated (wallpaper) etc so looked nice and fresh
