This is definitely a 2 star motel. Parking very tight and room quite dated. On the plus side…. nice and quiet and very close to town. 30 sec walk to four square and a great early morning bakery. So that was a major plus for us.

The staff is nice and friendly. The room was very clean, and it had everything we needed, including a small fridge, cups, dishes, and cutlery, a pot, a pan, and cleaning equipment. The room is a bit small for one adult and two teens, but we didn't mind at all. It's only for a short stay, and we are happy with what we paid. The Motel is pretty quiet; it's centrally located in the heart of Paihia.
