Energy Motor Lodge
Great location...BUT that's all that's good about this motel! Dirty overall! Mismatched+chipped crockery! Used bedsheets! Stained carpets! Unwashed floors! Battered furniture! Unmanned office! Definitely will NEVER stay again!

Hotel on Devonport
Don't use expedia and pay for protection with a weather event you can't forecast, money down the drain. Rang the hotel they couldn't change due to expedia, just deal with the hotel in the future

City Suites Tauranga
Great central location with clean nice rooms, loved the balcony. Underground carpark was a bit tight.

Oceanside Resort & Twin Towers
It was the honeymoon suite with a spa bath ... which pumped out lumps of black algae; a mood killer I'd say.
