Not Cleaned

Reviewed By MMMedits

Felt unsafe there as it had obviously not been cleaned. Though the documentation threatened $300 fine for smoking in the room, there was a half smoked roll your own in the bathroom. Cobwebs and other dirty areas, felt I had to wash my hands after touching anything there.

Fantastic hotel

Reviewed By Littlesaggy

We stayed over Christmas and what a fabulous place, spotless, the guy on the reception is lovely, dishwasher, cook top, Samsung washer and dryer, my hubby who is a builder was very impressed with everything. No vaccine pass required as no bar or restaurant so Copthorne missed out on $600, glad too because we loved Quest, few mins walk to the mall and close to supermarkets. Perfect!!

Reviewed By grater1

A delightfully warm hello and welcome when I arrived signalled the start of a very comfortable stay. The room had all the amenities expected and some, it was super clean, the bed was very comfortable with great pillow, the shower had excellent pressure and the room was warm. Close by were a range of great eateries. When I checked in restaurants were recommended and a booking was made on my behalf. Great choice. Highly recommend if you want genuine kiwi hospitality and a warm and comfortable accommodation close the city centre. A true super star experience.

Don't judge a book by the shops nearby it

Reviewed By Mitch H

I am currently staying at this Hotel for a night. When i first arrived i was put off by the look of the place and the area around it but the owner behind the bar was just so friendly that it immediately made me love this place, even without seeing the room which turned out quite modern and very clean. Would definitely recommend a night or 2 at this place.

Really nice suites

Reviewed By kokoko

Large, clean, well equipped and comfortable - great palace to stay if in PN for work. However I had an absolute nut-job next door who screamed and swore to himself all night - sung very badly and banged on walls. I was actually quite scared. And didn't think I could call reception as there was a language barrier when I had checked-in. The cleaning staff were lovely.

Perfect place for corporate stays, couples, large groups or families.

Very clean and quiet

Reviewed By MTGuest5

Great Motel in a quiet part of town. Very Spacious, well appointed with everything you might need including pots and pans etc. if you felt inclined to dine in. What really stood out for me was just how exceptionally clean and well maintained the room was - the quality and attention to detail far surpassed the room we recently stayed in at a well known 5 Star "Luxury Resort Style" Hotel in Taupo. I would definitely stay at Arena Lodge again next time I am heading to Palmerston North - are you opening a motel anytime soon in Taupo??

Pleasantly surprised

Reviewed By Gordonwhakatane

I must admit I was not sure what to expect when I booked this motel. I’ll happily admit I was pleasantly surprised. Easy to find and well located. Friendly host. Clean and tidy parking area. The room itself was spotless. Although I was only there for one night, it left me with a positive impression and I’ll very happily stay there again.
