Masterton Motor Lodge

Reception locked and no one in sight when I arrived at 3pm. Rang bell twice, no response, rang cell number on window and finally someone arrived. Room clean but very dated. Over powerful air freshner smell as room closed up. Room spacious, bed comfortable, bathroom small and would not be suitable for an older person who needed some space. Grounds spacious but shabby. Main light in bedroom flickered all the time while on, luckily plenty of wall lights. No folder with info of local surroundings, restaurants or how to contact reception. Water turned itself off while I was in shower at 0810 on Sunday. No water from bathroom basin or kitchen sink either. I left at 0840hrs and still no water??? No one at reception when I left to report this or the light issue to. Not overly impressed for 2 nights totalling $334 for No 5 Suite Friday and Saturday nights. Would not stay there again or recommend.

Worst bed I have ever stayed in. All you can feel is springs and no support left. In urgent need of replacement. All I ask for is a bed to sleep in and this place can’t even provide that. Woke up with sore shoulder and was forced to sleep on couch. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Stayed here in October 2022 - paid by credit card, then charged for same stay in December, despite numerous calls to resolve and emails, still waiting for money to be paid back. Don’t recommend staying here, or giving credit card details.
