Perfect location for our needs. Friendly staff, very accommodating. Premises were clean and comfortable. Located on a busy road but found traffic noise was not an issue. Few minutes walk to shops. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend

Disappointed

Reviewed By R99999000000000

I originally booked because it was centrally located and this is a plus. The decor is nice modern with sky television. There's a swimming pool which looked great. However the person who was on the desk is the first point of impression for the premises. And it wasn't good. He was unfriendly. actually off putting. Other issues were about the cleaning. The introduction folder had food residue on it. The spa bath was dirty. Black long hairs in the bath and on the floor. I specifically requested a room with a spa but didn't use it because of the hygiene standards. The cleaners are not doing a proper job and there shouldn't be hairs and I mean multiple hairs in the shower or bath. Actually after that experience I wondered how clean the rest of my room was. I think the hosts should check the standard d of the rooms after the cleaners have done their job. Second be friendly on the desk because honestly if you can't be welcoming to your guests why are you doing that job. In the times of covid motels are struggling, and guests are paying a premium to stay there and motels are not cheap. One more thing, this is a recommendation for all motels who purchase those crappy cheap hot chocolate sachets and coffee. For 195 a night or more. how about investing in quality brands. The way to attract customers and stand out from other motels is exceptional presentation, nice friendly person on the desk, and better tea, coffee and hot chocolate brands. Would I book again no.

There were 9 of us in our 10pin bowling group and none of us had any issues with Elmore Lodge. We were in walking distance to the bowling centre, it’s a lovely short walk. There are shops which we used often, dairy, hell’s pizza, Chinese and fish shop, the food is great. If you keep walking past these shops there is the Coffee club and the luckiest lotto shop in NZ. I would recommend the Elmore Lodge to anyone, you get free laundry and able to hang your clothes on the line or in the dryer, not many places I’ve stayed at have that. The rooms are serviced every day, we stayed 7 days. Elmore is very clean the beds are excellent so comfortable, perfect. There is no air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan that is so much better, keep us cool at night. All the management and staff are very friendly giving us lots of information, thankyou, we will definitely stay there again.

Average inn

Our check in was easy. The room is neat And overall tidy. There are toiletries provided. Room has mini fridge, microwave and utensils. However since it was summer, the weather becomes to humid in the evening and electric fan is only available upon request which we dont know on the 1st day. It wasn’t a good sleep for me. The blankets were itchy and my daughter got flee bites on 3rd day. The pool is not maintained. Check out was fast.

Not a great experience

All the inadequate aspects would have been overlooked if the host had interacted with me more positively. I did not feel safe in terms of external door security system; the bathroom was smelly; the heat pump remote needed new batteries so it could be activated.

On 1 July 2016 we changed our name to Fairmont Motor Lodge (from Comfort Inn Fairmont). Same great place, same great owners, just a name change. Located less than 2km to city centre. All units have kitchenettes, ensuite bathrooms with large corner spa baths or walk-in shower (wonderful for elderly or disabled people). An out door (summer only) swimming pool and ample free car parking. Cooked or continental breakfast delivered to each unit.

Not healthy

Frimley Lodge was a great place for our one night stay in Hastings. The location is a great access point for the town centre and for visiting the wineries - we were able to hire bicycles nearby. The owner was very friendly and so helpful, even going out of his way to help us remove a bike rack from our car and putting our spare wheel on when we got a flat tyre. The rooms were very clean, modern and well-equipped.

Stayed here for a second time, as I was doing the Hawkes Bay Marathon again. They put us in the same room and our stay was great. My only suggestion is that you leave the door open after cleaning as the smell was over powering
