Hotel on Devonport
Nice and clean room. Secure parking. Had what we needed for the night. Bit noisy as we could hear loud vehicles and people outside in the street. But it served the purpose for what we needed for an overnight stay.

City Suites Tauranga
A clean and spacious room which had a comfy bed and generous shower room. Well appointed kitchenette and a balcony. The host and staff were friendly and underground parking a real bonus! Air conditioning worked really well. Shops and cafes are a short walk away. I had a great stay. Thank you.
