“The Place I Call Home in Suva”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Suva Motor Inn is a great, middle-of-the-road hotel in the capital Suva.

Suva is not a place to go for the beach on Fiji. Suva has mud-flats and a fairly average polluted port. But . . . it is beautiful otherwise. And the Suva Motor Inn is where I stay on business in Fiji.

It is clean, safe, and the staff are among the most friendly and helpful that I have found in the islands. It is right off the edge of the main city park, a bit away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

If you want 5-star, beach resort, this is not it.

If you want basic comfort, with reliable service and safety, along with a smaller swimming pool, then this is your place.

If you want an affordable place for small business conferences (under 25), with a restaurant, then this is the place as well.

Some of the things that could be better . . .
Double beds could be replaced by queen or king size.
More lights in the center of the room ceilings. The rooms can feel dark.
Incandescent lights instead of those new, ugly, "energy-saving" ones.
In-room safes would be nice. (presently there are none)
If they changed the lights at the head of the bed, that would be great. Presently, one
cannot sit up in bed and read because the light-sill above the bed prevents this.
An elevator would be nice. Presently there is none.

The Suva Motor Inn has just become a part of the Best Western chain. As a result of this, there should be some major upgrades within the next three years.

Room Tip: Rooms facing the park have balconies and seem to us to be the best ones in the hotel.

“Value for money if in Suva for a couple of days.”

The only thing I hated about this place was the marine system toilets that they have. Made me very uncomfortable going to the toilet. Plus when it rains the corridor gets all wet so can't sit outside.

We stayed in a self contained room ,the first room given to us had faulty electrics and the hotel promptly changed the rooom for us .The room had all the basic amenities and in this room the electrics worked . It is an older style motel and this is more than made up by the friendly staff who do their best to make your stay comfortable as possible.

“Better than 3-star; unpretentious, good value; helpful front desk”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2011

This is something of a 'hidden gem': just out of the centre, but only 5-10 minutes' walk. And they have a quick and cheap taxi service. Large, air-conditioned and fan-cooled rooms, with basic kitchenette. Lots of stairs, so less good if you're handicapped. Quiet.
The poolside restaurant/bar is basic but good: worthwhile breakfasts, and a good set meal each evening.
This is a particularly good place to stay if you are in a family group [the pool and wataerslide are plusses], or if you're on a longer stay.
Solid value.

Room Tip: About a quarter have private balconys.

“No Fills - Just a place to rest your head at the end of the day.”

The Suva Motor Inn was clean and well kept considering the age of the building. The Poolside Restaurant was not the best, many of the items on the menu were out of stock and the food was very greasy. Our room had some issues with the bathroom flooding due to a leaking tub and the pillows were stained but the pillowcases, and bed sheets were clean. Joe was amazing and really made our stay at the Inn enjoyable. The Inn is located in an excellent spot - close to the downtown area and the waterfront, but still in a quiet area. A little pricey for what you get but its clean which is more than we can say for some of the other places we checked into and out of in Suva before coming to the Inn.
