Coachmans Inn

The floors weren't vacuumed, light switches had brown finger marks on them, toilet wasn't even flushed let alone cleaned and the floors/ skirting boards were dirty. The mini oven provided was covered in dust and old baked food. Scuff marks all over the wall. We refused to stay and canceled booking immediately.

We stayed here for 3 nights in room 6. Older style hotel in desperate need of a revamp, carpet and curtains both had holes in them, however the room was clean and the shower hot. Staff/Manager was nice to deal with, but would not stay here again. We only stayed as everything was booked out as it was the Burt Munro weekend.

"I stayed at this motel for 4 days and was pleasantly surprised by the affordable price. The room cleaning was impeccable, and the staff provided awesome service. The location is convenient for all your needs. Highly recommended!"

Everything about this place was below average. We turned up at check in time and the reception was locked. Called the number and was told they were getting milk and would be back in 5 mins. Which seemed strange as there was a 4 Square directly across the road and why would you go out right when check in time starts.. 10 minutes later they opened the doors for us. The rooms were pretty clean but everything was so outdated and average. The rooms smelt like toilet cleaner, the curtain in our room was ripped and there was an old milkshake bottle under the bed. In my aunties room, they had no light bulb in the lamp and when they tried to close the window the latch came off! Lots of permanent residents there and felt very dreary and not safe for young families. When we were unpacking our car, one of the residents who was clearly on something kept staring at my son and it was incredible unnerving and uncomfortable. There was a conference on that day in Invercargill so had no choice but to stay as everywhere else was completely booked out, even the air bnbs. We were with a group, and had booked a few rooms so felt somewhat safe being around people we knew. But morale of the story, always read the reviews and never let anyone else book your accommodation!!
