Harbour City Motor Inn

My family had a great stay here. Booked a family suite for the night last minute on our way home to auckland. Our room was clean, beds were comfortable and clean. Reception was very helpful and friendly also. Great location, close to the supermarkets and bakery. Will be coming to stay again in future.

We had a fantastic stay. The reception were super friendly, housekeeping also. The room was spacious and clean. Loved that there was kitchen facilities in the room and a microwave. I enjoyed a beautiful bath again the bathroom was spacious. Heard nothing from any neighbouring rooms and had free car parking. 2 minute walk from where we needed to be. Will definitely stay again.

Service provided was very very poor, $300.00 per night is what would be paid to stay at Hilton. Lol. Don't recommend this place at all and the price they ask for is disgusting. Was not able to request for more sugar as there was only 4 packets provided in room. 5 of us staying.

Don't ever come to this place if you have kids. Especially an autistic child. Was about to check in, everything was going alright. Then she asked if my kids were noisey and I told her my child is autistic so sometimes she can be very loud. She told me that was unacceptable. As if I had to keep my child quiet all day while being in the room we paid for? Kids will be kids. Made me really mad!

The room was easy to access and the spa was a nice touch. However, cleanliness could be improved. We noticed small groups of ants in every room—including the bedroom, main room, and bathroom. There were also a few strands of unidentified hair on the beds, which was a bit off-putting.

We booked our room at the last minute and ended up liking it, and the location on Wharf Street, just a block up from Tauranga’s eat street. Our room was on the ground floor of the two level Motel, and was fairly clean. We did feel the necessity to wash glasses and dishes in the kitchenette before use. It seems previous visitors have been sloppy and inspections are being missed. We were delighted with the size of the room(s). One large bed in the main room, and a second bed room with two singles! The bathroom was also very large. The owner/host Tui is the real superstar of this location. Every question or request was seen too immediately, as well as being very kind and good to talk to. I noticed some nefarious behavior of non-residents parked in the lot after hours, and she showed me the almost completed installation of an electric gate that will stop entry. We stayed in November 2024, so the gate is likely activated by now. This is a very walkable location, and Tauranga is a pretty town to explore.

Roomy, Comfy and nice jet spa|Friendly and Kind staffs. |Good location for a walk through Downtown and Nice and child friendly park , Waterfront playground that has Hairy Maclary sculptures to discover, this accessible waterfront spot is a must-visit for families. with nice seaview and local view. |Highly recommended

We were so lucky when we found this place. Impeccably clean, great size room for 2 with 2 large suitcases and location was perfect for restaurants and bars within a very short walk down the street. Tui the manager was very helpful. We have no issue in highly recommending this motor inn.

I sent my family to stay and they were very happy. It's very clean, great location in the city center and cheap for all they offer
