Portmans Motor Lodge

Nice lodge, very good location easy walk to cafes. On the negative side the spa bath did not go.We were able to charge our EV with a lead through to window.This was done with the permission of the manager, who provided a traffc cone to warn of a possible trip Hazzard.I told him of my guesstimate of the power usage for which he charged me.

Very clean, new carpet, friendly staff and perfect water shower temperature. Was just said that I could not use my Chromecast to the TV as the only HDMI input is for the Sky TV, but still a very good stay

On arrival we were pleasantly surprised at the look of the motel and the room that we were allocated. There is plenty of parking outside and the room was well appointed and quite room for a motel in New Zealand. Our unit happen to have a spa bath which is a nice addition and it worked fine allowing I relaxed experience. Breakfast was available in the room and was a reasonable price according to the menu although we didn't have it because we moved on quite early. Location is right in town and basically not much more than a walk to Hastings Central. There was no car charging facility there but the city council one was available in the car park in the middle of town and that was a 50 kilowatt charger and work time at that time being early 2023.

Booked direct, called with query about booking and got straight, easy to understand answer. Had an extra person and owners were accommodating (paid extra obviously). First impression, motel clean and tidy, we were worried about it being right on main road/ busy road. Room clean and tidy and well sized. Beds comfortable and bedding very clean and plush. Towels lovely and plush. Shower works well, water pressure in our room was pretty good. Kitchen really well equiped! Loved that it had EVERYTHING we needed from a plunger (including really good coffee) as well as a small portable hot plate and pot for cooking. Owners very accommodating when we kept asking for towels for the pool for us and our tamariki. Rooms cleaned, serviced and replenished well (3 night stay). Surprisingly the noise from road was almost unnoticeable for us. 5 minute walk from town which is awesome. Enjoyed the pool. Motel seems to be run by a whanau which is great for visitors with kids, family friendly. Good laundry with powder supplied (for a $5 fee washing machine and dryer). Would stay again, enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Great place with the frendleyest staff nice rooms

Even my bus delayed, the receptionists still waited for me to arrive after opening hours. Very heart warming in that cold night.

Highly recommended if staying in the area. The room was clean and well presented. The room was also modern and the bed was comfortable.

Bloody brilliant a good place to stay nice and comfortable and super nice rooms
