“Good Pit stop.”
+Location wise it was good to check out the Blue Springs and a short drive to Matamata for Hobbiton. We drove from here to Waitomo and Hamilton and it has been good. The staff, possibly the owners, were accommodating and hospitable. We drove from Auckland and we arrived at the hotel late and we were quite worried but they let us in, no fuzz no bother. Stayed in Room 3 towards to back of the property so no traffic noise whatsoever. The beds were comfortable and the room is clean, couldn’t fault it,same with the bathroom.
−The room door lock needs an upgrade and a chain lock for the inside for added security. We mentioned to the owners about the door knob being rickety as they were trying to pull the key because it was jammed. The shower head could be a higher. We stand at 5ft2in and the shower head was still low. It was passable and comfortable and we stayed for 3 nights. They have long term stays in the hotel. Pass a couple of them on the hallway and they were friendly.

+It was clean and the bed was comfortable
−The sink was coming off the wall, bathroom window was open and wouldn’t close. Toilet would leak when flushed. Only 1 plug socket with an extension lead which blew the fuse so couldn’t keep fridge and phone charger plugged in. Shower was horrific and water wouldn’t go hot… kitchenette area has microwave that was filthy and didn’t even work. Room was small. Understand we booked budget room But was below standards expected.

+Bedroom clean and tidy
“A grand hotel once upon a time!”
+Classic old hotel that would have been grand in its day. Could be awesome again once renovated. Lovely staff. Food at the restaurant next door was delicious.
−Quite run down but hopefully the owners can bring it back to life. Interesting people living out the back…

“We wouldn’t stay here again, even if it was free.”
+It’s close to town. The room was clean as was the linen.
−One of the mattresses on the beds had such hard springs they were prominate and it was impossible to be comfortable on, purgatory to spend a night on. The manager was untidily dressed and not friendly on arrival. The hotel is situated by a large roundabout and frequent and noisy cattle trucks can be heard throughout the daylight hours. The sink in the bedroom had a continuously leaking tap and the sink was blocked so when you cleaned your teeth or washed your face the water stayed in the basin for ages. You won’t get a piping hot shower. My shower was warm enough but I didn’t use the cold water tap at all.

“Not recommended”
+Hard to think of anything I liked to be honest.
−The guy in reception wasn't friendly. The carpet going up the stairs was hideous. Original plumbing and electrical. Very hard to flush the toilet. Water in shower only just hot enough. Couldn't have the kettle and heater going at the same time! No complimentary milk either. Wouldn't recommend and won't stay there again.
