Ascot Oamaru Motel

excellent shower, where the carpet met tiles the sharp pins caught in my feet, an excellent way to catch Hep C, the road in front is very noisy it’s earplugs to get to sleep

Very roomy and nicely decorated room. Walked into the bathroom and wow, what a surprise. Was just beautiful.

Very close to the road and parking virtually on the road

The room was good and well set out but there was not much parking.

Nice and clean. And the friendly staf. We live it.

Much better than our expectations. My kids called it heaven.

We stayed in room 12a by the main road. We paid about 160 per night for 3 weeks. Positives: We were given an air fryer to use. Cleaning staff are friendly Convenient location Negatives: Carpet nails sticking in main walkways Dishwasher was broken No smoke alarm No ventilation for cooking Lack of security and location of the room makes room vulnerable to potential theft. The noise of the traffic and the neighbours. Virtually no noise cancelling Reception is not regularly staffed and not easy to contact quickly. Electrician who came to fix dishwasher in our room relied on us because they had no one at reception and don't pick up the phone. No hair dryer provided with room, until requested. Requested hair dryer was covered in gunk. Ironing board provided is unusable as it has no cover Shower head is guaranteed to poor water outside Room was missed for servicing on one day so we missed out on replacement towels. Price. We have stayed at cheaper places that were significantly better than this. Overall, would not stay here again unless we were looking for something short term and we were desparate. With a lot of small changes the room could be a pretty solid one. The worst aspects for us were the carpet nails in our feet, the lack of smoke alarm and the irregular staffing of reception.

We had a spa bath and heated towel rail. Wonderful. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Do not let rhe outside deter you. Super clean. They have to replace their shower heads but other than that, very comfortable. Inside newly refurbished.

A friendly receptionist. A comfortable bed. Plenty of options on TV. The best shower we have experienced in our travels.

It looks way better on the inside. We showed up after hours and it looked sketchy from the outside, but it was quite a nice place to stay for the night. Close to penguin colony

Staff were not available at stated 2pm check-in time, 25 minute wait while they returned from lunch, then just handed the keys. No further information for room service, but eventually found a business card with Wi-Fi and password. Wi-Fi speed reasonable and capable of streaming to a laptop or tablet. Parking is OK. Room was functional with microwave and enough dinnerware and cutlery for 2-3 people, iron and ironing board The fridge was too cold and froze fruit, this could spoil medications, for e.g if you were diabetic and needed to store insulin. A positive was the bathroom was recently renovated and shower was nice and clean. Comfy lounge and large table and chairs

Tired worn

Travelled for a Sports Trip with son - had everything we needed and was spacious and comfortable

Very clean and tidy except our room was right at the back with no view at all

Property very clean but some facilities damaged including window catches. Toilet roll holder and hook for hanging towels in bathroom. Couldn’t check in at expected time as room not ready

We had a lovely tidy big room with separate bedroom. It warm and quiet. Had beds for 5 but only 2 chairs at the table and a 2 seater sofa. Would havd needed more plates if there'd bern more of us. A good place to stay with the restaurant and phoenix entertainment centre next door. Would stay again.

Very substandard equipment in room, not acceptable wouldnt recommend this motel

Rooms were relatively average, clean however strong musty odour present & draft blowing in from underneath front door. Very sticky tiles in bathroom & cigarette burns on one of the duvet covers. Fine for 1 night stay, however unlikely to return.

Good price, wifi good, clean, friendly
