Friendly staff who let us check in early. The rooms were spacious and we had everything we needed. The pillows were a bit too firm and thick for my taste. Good value for money.

We spent three nights there and absolutely loved it. Our experience was fantastic, and we appreciated everything about the place. Although it isn't new, they have done a great job maintaining it. The service was excellent. We originally booked for five people but changed our reservation at the last minute. We informed the staff, so I only paid for the four of us and kept the same family room I booked. It is very convenient and closer to the Splash Planet. I recommend this hotel to anyone planning to go for a holiday in Hasting.

Okay, good sized unit but worn out

A good sized unit for a large group, but is getting worn. Needs refurbishing. Still tidy and relatively clean but elements of worn carpet, lifting bathroom fixtures. Certainty not a 4 star quality

Finding the individual unit not a problem. A little unusual how I was rather left to my own devices rather than ushered to unit. But I had no problem. Person on front desk polite and well mannered.

This motel was really below my expectations for what we paid. Everything was old and worn, with multiple things broken. The receptionist was also never at the desk. It appeared that it hadn’t been vacuumed in a while and huge stains on the carpet, also ants everywhere. No aircon was upstairs, only a tiny fan so it was really hot.

A bit of a horror show, especially around the bathroom: 1. Shower head’s pipe leaking=no pressure 2. Shower head mounting broken 3. Shower curtain full of holes(quite gross) Overall cleanliness also lacking and bed is uncomfortable also. Has been my second time here, and would prefer not to go back until they fix these basics.
