Beetham Park Motel

"Hamilton was completely booked out, and over 30 phone calls later I was about to give up hope. 8.30pm and needing accomodation after a family member had been helicoptered to the Hospital there. The lovely man at Beetham Park said he had a room available with 3 beds that would fit us. He was very honest and said that currently the motel was being used as WINZ emergency accomodation. He said that the current tenants were respectful and would pose no problem. And if they did, he would be onsite overnight, and we could ring anytime. Didnt fill me with much hope, but I was very grateful for his honesty. Check In was next store at the Hygate Motor Lodge. The lovely gentleman had kept reception open until 10pm for us to check in. Lots of parking, including directly outside the unit. There were a few kids running around screaming outside, among the beaten up, unregistered unwarranted cars. However once inside, we didn't hear anything, including any road noise from the busy main arterial. Room was dated, and probably not as clean as it could have been, with cobwebs and hair. But the beds were comfortable, and the linen spotless. Good water pressure in the shower. Had a Sky Decoder, but could not get the TV to work at all. There seemed to be a cable missing. At $220 for the night, we found it to be SEVERELY overpriced, and probably taking advantage of a booked out city. I mean really, it was a dated room, in a emergency accomodation motel. Far to expensive for the product received. Probably would only give 2 stars, but have decided on 3 stars purely based on the Gentleman at Reception and his honesty and friendliness."

"Clean and bright. Comfy bed for the night. Kitchen and utensils available in your room for preparing your own meals. Easy access to local grocery and simple to get to local shops."

"No heating facility was working. Was irresponsible to check everythings working before they allow someone to move in.Had to spend a whole night in cold. No wifi was available and yet charged us for the wifi. No tables provided to have the food, we had to sit on ground to have our food. No clarity between employers. One said we can check out lately, and then other guy came and asked us to check put immediately. We have been forcefully checked out and was wandering around the city. Very poor hospitality."

"It was a very very homely atmosphere, the t.v and sky box on top of the bed was a hazard for me, it gave me shock when i woke up. I really enjoyed my stay, and would definitely come back again. Thank you."
