18th Avenue Thermal Motel

Would be better more wall hangers in bathroom

Un motel conforme à la description. Un bassin d’eau thermal agréable après une journée de route . Une laverie pratique pour laver ses affaires .

This place is vastly over-priced. The rooms are standard and, in fact, made of poor construction. The chipped paint on the thin and poorly made squeaky doors complemented the burnt hole from a cigarette in a couch that showed its age. The cheap toilette tells it all, but I can add: the two sets of faucets (kitchen and bathroom) are separate, and thus it proved difficult for two of us when we wanted tepid or, in fact, warm running water. A good example: when one shaves. There is no difference between what you get here than in any other 'standard' motel that I have stayed in at Tauranga — just the inflated price — and I have been doing so for ca 2X/year since 2011. I have taken photos. NB: roughly around 6 pm the reception appeared closed. The norm in Auckland, which can be used as a base model for comparison to this place, is roughly from ca 7 am till 9 pm, every day. I can provide empirical data.

We liked the chairs outside for people to sit on at the end of the day. The location was very handy. TV on the was quite small. There was no AC unit, and no flyscreens on the windows. mosquitos came into the room.

We only stayed one night at this motel in order to break an otherwise longer journey. The motel was reasonably priced, but had no air conditioner. At the time the weather was very hot and had been for a couple of weeks so at night we had to open the windows. They did provide a fan which helped.

We Stayed at 18th Ave Thermal Motel for 2 nights. Room was spacious with everything we needed. Room was clean and serviced daily which is rare these days. Large fan available, good shower water pressure and free Wi Fi. Enjoyed large indoor mineral pool that closed 8pm. would have preferred open later maybe 10pm. Handy location close to Fraser Cove Shopping Centre. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Will stay again

Last minute holiday and this was available so we booked. Took a studio unit and it was really lovely for us - two adults and a teenager. Had everything we needed - fantastic fan supplied to help us keep cool too. Comfy beds and great tv with ALL the Sky channels. Nicely maintained room with lovely gardens as well :). Location was fine - not noisy and not out of the way. Thanks for having us.

Stayed with my two kids (under 5yrs old). Was good being across from the trampoline and swings to keep them entertained. We had a one bedroom unit and it had everything we needed. Nothing fancy but did the job and reasonably priced. Hot pool was nice to relax in.

On the whole very quite and clean but needed updating the room service bad I put a request to service room one day they did not make up the bed or take the rubbish or change the towels only washed the dishes .
