Heritage Highway Motel

Gosh, how does this motel have a 4 star rating???? We stayed there as it was the only motel we could find with a Vacancy that had Sky Sport. That's about all it had. We would give it a 2 star rating at best!

Overall beds comfortable room tidy and warm enough. Disappointment was bathroom floor got very wet having a shower and even though says units were serviced daily they aren't. After being out all day getting back late to see unit hadn't been serviced and had to hang our very wet towels and soaking bath mat over back of dining chairs and suitcase stand to dry by heater overnight, one of which had a crack right through middle of it (was a wall panel type heater). Reading in info later it said units serviced Monday Wednesday and Friday. For the price we paid (which now seems cheaper on their website) was a bit disappointing. First time I have stayed in a motel with no service or change of towels. Was told when paying and leaving I was welcome to come and ask for fresh towels I didn't think I would have to. Office always had no one there was always locked and had to ring bell if wanted to checkout. Didn't see any motel people around during weekend stay. I have now seen room rates are different price than what I paid I paid a 1 bedroom rate but was in a studio unit. I wouldn't probably stay again sadly.

Spacious room, very clean. Great location as within walking distance of shops, supermarket, beach, restaurants and bars. Right next to a train track but only 2 trains each 24 hours while we were there so hardly a major deal. Bathroom sink could use a plug and if you like a harder pillow like me, best take your own. Overall though, great motel and when we're back in Hokitika, we'll stay here again without hesitation.
