Bed was comfortable. Bath and shower. Quiet extractor fan in bathroom. Ample loo paper and towels. Blackout curtain with net curtain. Tea and coffee makings. Desk and chair. Smart TV. Aircon. Bathroom clean. Check in friendly and helpful. No foot mat in bathroom. Aircon on/off switch lights up the dark room. No bag in trash bin. When TV in smart mode on netflix kept buffering? Had to turn TV off, wait for 40 to 60 secs then restart TV then resume netflix programme. Found an ant on the bathroom sink. Best thing is the bed. Loved it. I put a t-shirt over the light on the Aircon which blocked the light. I used an unused hand towel as a foot mat. I squished the ant. Didn't see any more and I looked all around the bathroom. Would recommend.

Our room was infested with ants. When we brought up the ants to the man at the front desk he brushed off our concerns like it was nothing and put ant drops around the room which made 100s more ants show up in the room. In the middle of the night we woke up and found ants in our beds. Nothing was done after the fact to rectify the problem. There was a different man at the front desk in the morning and he was much more understanding but still nothing was done.

Motel-style stay

I think this is a regular hotel for Blenheim; however, it was a bit like a motel park place. On the vintage side of things. The shower is no telephone-like and there were long hairs in the tub. The bed was very soft, but warm enough. There is no heating so it got a bit chilly overnight.
