We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit at the Apple Motor Inn. Positive things - it was in a good location, and the pool was great, the kids really enjoyed that. There were some swings too, but they were so old and squeaky that I didn't let the kids play on them for long, too noisy! Check in and out... More

Not a bad place. This is one of the few places that hasn't felt the need to have a big flash tv and everything modern in the rooms. Instead, you're greeted by a comfortable useable room at a low price - great for the budget. I didn't try the pool but it looked nice. More

Booked this place for a business trip op hastings, found that the place is acceptable for afffordable accommodation, and the owner/reception people are helpful and friendly. I do not agree with some of the reviewers that say that "avoid at all costs", you get what you pay for. and the motel does not claim to be a 5-star accommodation in... More

We've stayed in quite a few Kiwi motels and this was our worst ever experience. Basic we can live with but our suite was dilapidated, dirty and squalid. The toilet had clearly leaked at some point and absolutely stank and the bathroom was grimy. The kitchen was grubby and the ancient fridge had also leaked and there was a grisly... More

We initially booked for one night but stayed an extra 2 and drove into Napier instead of staying there. This hotel is definitely budget, very clean, very quiet, has all the facilities you need and very helpful people on the front desk. It is situated close to town and the I Sight which is the information centre who by the... More

Apple Motor Inn is to be AVOIDED at all costs. The Studio room was dingy, dirty and smelly. Our toilet was leaking around the base and having only one sink we needed to use the bathroom for our dishes. The fire alarm went off at 5am which apparently is very common but the noise coming from the dormitory, which is... More

The first room we had allocated wasn't made up and we were moved. The second room wasn't clean e.g floor not vacuumed properly, windows had children's figure prints all over them, filter in bathroom ceiling dirty, fridge freezer iced up, tripadvisor review pamphlet dirty, skywatch magazine ripped,wall damaged behind bed, dirty marks on wall behind luggage shelf, pictures on wall...

Late on Boxing Day we decided to take a random road trip to the Hawkes Bay. We frequently do this! We had no accom booking, and as we approached Hastings we started to worry about finding somewhere for all 5 of us. We spotted the Motel signage & pulled in. Carole greeted us warmly and we were pretty much sold... More

We booked a two bedroom unit for two couples for a one night stay to attend a food festival. On arrival we found good off street parking and a small, sunny unit that was obviously very old but with some attempts to modernise and make it presentable. The bedroom with the queen size bed had no wardrobe or space to... More
