Overall Ratings & Reviews The Village Inn Hotel

No plates or knife, so not sure about why they bothered to supply a toaster. Shower slide was broken and shower leaked across the floor

Close to shopping area.

Property is run down and room seems old. Parking is OK with some huge buses parked at the property. Bathroom has been reformed so it did have decent bathroom. Kitchen utensils were really beat up and I did not want to use it. Bed, kitchen and Carpet all look and feel out dated.

After reading some poor reviews we had some trepidation, however, we could not have been happier with our room, it far exceeded our typical standards for accommodations in this price point. We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The motel is in a great location just minutes walk from downtown Te Anau and the lake. The staff were welcoming and check in/out was easy. The wi-fi was excellent with individual dedicated routers in each room. Highly recommend this stay, it was excellent value, we would have liked to have stayed longer.

Good for the money

Filthy hotel with urine stains and hair in bed. Carpet covered with stains and room reeked of mold. After showing clerk photos of urine on sheets he offered to cancel reservation. I left property and called Expedia to confirm refund - when Expedia called property owner refused to honor cancellation and Expedia would not acting despite seeing my photos of the urine and hair in the bed. Shame on clerk for lying and shame on Expedia for not backing me and still showing this property on their site. The rooms are not sanitary and this property should be shut down by health inspectors. Under no circumstances should you stay here.

Clean - minimal amenities. Coffee impractical to attempt to make. No hand towels. Lighting on the outside walkway SO BRIGHT all night in our room - tried to block w the closet door. They need a black out curtain for the window on the door!

The place is clean enough for a 1 night stay but the room smelt stale and the drains smelled in the bathroom...very tired place

A little disappointed - for the price, the room looked a little rundown and need of attention - shower door did not close, insufficient towels, curtains falling off rails, limited channels on tv, bed sheets not right size, cleaning staff walking into room without knocking first.

Had a pleasant 2 night stay here. Room is a bit dated, but pretty big. I wished the glass slider door had a screen slider. We had the door open to get some air and a cat came in the room! A screen would allow air to circulate, but keep out critters. Great location!

Although there was a kettle and toaster there was extremely limited space to even prepare tea or coffee. We had to ask reception for some plates and cutlery.

Stayed for one night new yrs eve, check in was the fastest I've ever been thru very impressed, room nice and big comfy beds very clean no problems at all highly recommend to all

The room was very nice. Bed were comfortable and it was quiet.

For a quick stay the motel was fine. Room walls are paper thin so if you have noisy neighbours you’ll be hearing everything. But the hotel location is good and the rooms are very large

Would have liked a toaster. & some cutlery for convenience.

Very ordinary Hotel and room. Started with a delayed check in followed by cigarette butts at the entrance to our room. I doubt the room has been updated since the 70ies. Dim lighting, paper thin walls, we could hear everything going on next door. Appliances old and some rusty. Altogether a poor choice on our part.

Straight forward and happy that I was very late

Have stayed at a lot of places in my time and im not a fussy person what so ever but this is hands down the worst place i have ever stayed. Filthy. Piss stained sheets. Other peoples hair through the bed. Shower drain was so blocked that after 2 minutes over being in there youre ankle deep in water not to mention pink mould growing in there. Not worth the price not worth staying here at all.

Suited our purposes as a place to stop for the night.

This is a very odd motel that seems to work mostly with the coach trade. Bus loads of tourist arrived each night and were rushed out after eating a horrible, mostly cold breakfast (that includes the hot items) in the morning. I can’t recommend it. The sofa was located underneath the tv facing the beds! The beds faced the tv. There was a kettle and toaster, but no plates or cutlery. You get the idea.
