Good price and clean
It was ok for our 1 night. The room is dated but clean and functional. The mattress is old and not very comfortable. However everyone has different sleeping preferences when it comes to a mattress. No air conditioning. I would recommend for a short stay.

Room is fine. Spacious, two sinks, class, etc 15 minute walk to get to Victorian precinct. Fine if you are able to walk comfortably.
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

At this price point not much to complain about. It’s tidy a little dated but has all the things you need for an overnight stay. It’s near the main road so a bit of traffic noise but so are many of the motels in oamaru.
