Reviews for Gateway Motor Lodge - Wanganui
Review 1：Compared to the many other 4star premises at which we have stayed this motel seemed not only to be poorly designed but also very basic.
Review 2：Peacefulness & privacy and it was certainly very clean
Review 3：Road Noise. Quite close with NO road noise barrier like fence, hedge or even trees.
Review 4：comfortable well fitted out Units. Very clean and tidy property inside and out.
Review 5：Another electric wall socket would have been helpful and a tap that you could actually get the electric jug under. Just minor niggles though.
Review 6：Very comfortable bed and clean and pleasant room. Loved the lazy boy chairs!
Review 7：More power points. Not enough power points for breakfast! Had to pull out toaster to boil jug, and to work microwave, would have liked all 3 on at the same time and not have to pull out the fridge plug.
Review 8：grassed area to walk dogs on.
Review 9：Not a bad experience but the taps in the bathroom were leaking which could be wasting water.
Review 10：The feeling of privacy and comfort! Those chairs were wonderful
Review 11：The location is easy to find, but the noise of the traffic outside was loud. But that is due to it being near the main highway and round about lots of trucks.
Review 12：The room was clean and warm.
Review 13：Worst night's sleep of my life which is odd because the bed looks fine and I usually sleep really easily. Rubbish bin needs to be lined and the bin in the bathroom is uselessly small and in the wrong place. Needs more poeer sockets. Only 3 star, not 4, especially the bathroom.
Review 14：Heater, artwork, tea and coffee making facilities, location, parking.
Review 15：Getting to the toilet was cramped, shower floor was leaning and neighbours were very loud and disrespectful.They needed to think about other customers and stay in their own area.
Review 16：At night the place was blacked out so no disturbing lights to keep you awake. The place was very clean, beds were awesome. Everything i wanted and expected.
Review 17：reception needs a facelift and car parking right on frontage did not feel secure (had no issues)
Review 18：Location, size of room and shower had fantastic pressure and plenty of hot water
Review 19：Unit was quite tired with chipped furniture etc.Small vanity did not allow room for filling kitchen jug.
Review 20：Bed was comfortable and unit was small but clean. Good shower.
Review 21：The outside bench seats make the units look tacky which is so what the interior do not look like.
Review 22：Comfort of bed, proximity to the amenities we wanted.
Review 23：Noisy even though some double glazing was in evidence. Bad TV reception. Maybe we expect too much but rate this as a lesser motel.
Review 24：A McDonald's within easy walk.
Review 25：No neon sign to highlight its presence, so had a challenge finding it. The motel across the road was much more noticeable. Unable to locate a tea towel, so had to leave dishes :-( Not my style.
Review 26：High ceiling gave a spacious atmosphere. Shower had really good water pressure. Bed comfy.
Review 27：Too much road noise - heavy trucks right through the night. Being a hot summer night we opted to have the windows open as we slept - bad choice!
