Accomodation was average cleaned. Shower was blocked and room service was not done until we mentioned to office staff and everything was done and was in order. The only one thing is less utensils to cook. However, it is pretty good accommodation considering it is motel.

We stayed at Lake Taupo Motor inn for 2 nights as a family of 4. We got lucky with the end room which had big windows and a nice view. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms nice and dark with curtains drawn. It was a nice quiet location although still super close and handy to shops, cafes and restaurants. The pool was too cold for my 4 year old however there was also a spa to warm up in. Great stay

Excellent accommodation - highly recommended
Excellent accommodation at a great price. Very clean and spacious well appointed unit. Very close to all amenities in Taupo. Great view of the lake from the balcony. Were fortunate to be upgraded to a superior room. This was our first stay here but will certainly stay here again when staying in Taupo.

The room was fantastic with plenty of parking. The only downside, which really wasnt too bad at all was that the bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were very uncomfortable and hard. Otherwise it was a fantastic stay.
