Coachmans Inn

環境不好啊！

We stayed here for 3 nights in room 6. Older style hotel in desperate need of a revamp, carpet and curtains both had holes in them, however the room was clean and the shower hot. Staff/Manager was nice to deal with, but would not stay here again. We only stayed as everything was booked out as it was the Burt Munro weekend.

At first glance you hope not to be reading the book by it's cover. But it's way worse. At the back of the property appears to be permanent tenants living in sloppy, messy conditions and loitering about. The room itself was incredibly dated and dirty. There was leftover food in the fridge. Dried noodles stuck to the kitchen bench. Hair in the shower. I could hear the man in the next room farting. Not a pleasant stay in the least - would have left but no other accommodation available in Invercargill according to my travel arranger after flight chaos caused by weather conditions.

"I stayed at this motel for 4 days and was pleasantly surprised by the affordable price. The room cleaning was impeccable, and the staff provided awesome service. The location is convenient for all your needs. Highly recommended!"

Everything about this place was below average. We turned up at check in time and the reception was locked. Called the number and was told they were getting milk and would be back in 5 mins. Which seemed strange as there was a 4 Square directly across the road and why would you go out right when check in time starts.. 10 minutes later they opened the doors for us. The rooms were pretty clean but everything was so outdated and average. The rooms smelt like toilet cleaner, the curtain in our room was ripped and there was an old milkshake bottle under the bed. In my aunties room, they had no light bulb in the lamp and when they tried to close the window the latch came off! Lots of permanent residents there and felt very dreary and not safe for young families. When we were unpacking our car, one of the residents who was clearly on something kept staring at my son and it was incredible unnerving and uncomfortable. There was a conference on that day in Invercargill so had no choice but to stay as everywhere else was completely booked out, even the air bnbs. We were with a group, and had booked a few rooms so felt somewhat safe being around people we knew. But morale of the story, always read the reviews and never let anyone else book your accommodation!!

Booked and paid for a one bedroom unit. Arrived to book in and told that the one bedroom unit not available but we could have a studio room. Asked for assurance that we would have the one bed unit the following night. Returned the following afternoon to a different receptionist to be told he knew nothing about changing rooms. We went to the studio room. Wet towels still in the bottom of the shower, no housekeeping done. We left and and checked into another motel. When we returned home I emailed asking for a credit. Not eve the decency to reply to my email. Not recommended
