Reviews for Bay Palm Motel

Review 1：Parking not outside unit could not get air into upstairs room as window too high to open air freshner in toilet would be nice

Review 2：It was quiet clean and handy

Review 3：Not much we didn't like - walls are quite thin and we could hear conversations in the next room so I'm sure others heard our noisy children!

Review 4：Great facility for families having the two rooms and the heated pool was great.

Review 5：The staff were VERY friendly and understanding. I had a couple of issues with the electric fry pan. They replaced it immediately. Then when it slipped off the bench and broke, they did not ask for payment or anything. VERY UNDERSTANDING!!

Review 6：Rooms round courtyard parking gave little protection from outdoor party noise of group of guests. Upstairs bedroom poorly ventilated and too hot. Not suitable for folk with wobbly legs to access toilet (downstairs) at night-time.

Review 7：Well located to beach and shopping mall

Review 8：We Have stayed in this motel about 10 years ago and it is still lovely to stay there very close to our family who are just 1 street away and also very close to the shopping centre, we will always stay here on our trips to the Mount. The owners are lovely and friendly so we will always return. thanks Jill and Steve Martel Masterton

Review 9：bed was on wheels & kept sliding away from the wall. Also not very good customer service, just a paying customer, no friendliness

Review 10：Everything else except below

Review 11：Could hear all the very late comers coming in, due to the skylight. But too hot to close window.

Review 12：Quite comfortable. Sky sport. wi fi instructions clear. Golf courses Omanu and mt maunganui couple of the best we have played on.

Review 13：Parking was a little hard. I'm thinking some guests may have had more then one car that was aloud per room and we had to actually knock on someones door and ask them to move their car over as Couldn't quite fit in the only free space, maybe numbering rooms with allocated parks could help??

Review 14：Great location in between my two favorite places The Mall And The Beach! Lovely swimming pool nice and tidy look all round. Room was perfect.

Review 15：thought the payment was vague. Payment asked for on arrival which was fine but then a further amount was charged to my credit card the day i left without telling me.

Review 16：No A/C- the room was hot although the fan helped a bit. The bedroom upstairs was no better (Had to use the portable fan to cool down)

Review 17：Great staff/owners, close to beach and Bay Shopping mall and a lovely pool to cool down as the weather was great

Review 18：No control over four rooms of rowdy teens. We were doing it for two nights!. At one point a proprietor family member up ontheir deck looking down at teens not controlling them at all. Maybe when 5days and 4 rooms booked rules over others.

Review 19：Rooms (2 booked) were comfortable for purpose. Not really there during day, but a good base to go out from. location very good. easy parking. Good pool area. Very clean rooms and bathrooms.

Review 20：bed was like sleeping on plank of wood! Also very hot at night, could do with fan or something in bedroom as fan was downstairs

Review 21：Unit was well equipped and clean and modern, good room service.

Review 22：Arrival at 2pm, most of the day is gone. There was rubbish on the floor by the rubbish bin and counter. Coffee stains on the jug stand. Felt unclean. The amount of money we paid for this was not acceptable.

Review 23：Locality was great, tea and coffee available, heating and amount of towels all wonderful.

Review 24：floor board on mezzanine floor was creeky and noisy when walking around. Not pleasant for the person sleeping downstairs.

Review 25：Central - down the road from the mall just in case you need to get something last minute and 5 minutes to airport. Didn't get a chance to get there but looks like only 5 minutes down to the beach. And there's the Bayfair Leisure Centre just down the road as well

Review 26：Great location to everything shopping, supermarket, beach and gym. It was quiet and the room was safe, warm and incredibly clean. The décor was lovely.

Review 74：The lady at reception was very professional and welcoming, the location was ideal for the venue we had to travel to so the cab fare was good,and worth the cost..

Review 75：The bedroom is up steep stairs with the bathroom downstairs.

Cannot understand where the "Fabulous" rating came from

Review 76：Initial introduction to the accommodation was friendly and very good.

Review 81：- mould was inside lid of water jug that had been left in fridge for us - Sand was in bottom of spabath from the jets from whomever had been using it prior to us(we didnt go to the beach once!) - Very noisy from other guests & road traffic - should not be classed as 4star

Review 91：The cleaners refused to clean our rooms only on the assumption that they were too dirty, even though its their job to clean.

Review 92：Great location, the rooms were great and you get what you pay for.

Review 94：I liked Gail's efforts to help us, she went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable (as a group)

Review 95：We have stayed at the Bay Palm Several times over the last 6 -7 years. Even with change of ownership over this time the same high quality of room and service remains the same

The provision of a courtesy coach made our stay over even more enjoyable as we were able to go to my sons engagement and relax and enjoy our night with family. Top marks for Bay Palm.

Review 99：Very professional and efficient hosts. Organised, clean and happy to chat. It is what it is! all you would want from a high quality and friendly establishment.

Review 101：Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

Review 102：The only thing is the TVs are on a cabinet that is about 200mm below the height of the bed which makes it difficult to view.

Review 103：The friendly staff. The spotless rooms. The fully equipped kitchen. The cat. I would recommend the property and go there first when next visiting the Mount
