Sea Spray Suites - Heritage Collection

入住星期日及星期一兩晚，酒店設施太舊了，玻璃門的門鎖建議考慮更新。被編入住房間面向修車房，打開窗簾看到一大堆癈鐵。這兩晚酒店費用不貴，所以落差不算太大。 位置佳，步行至碼頭只需10分鐘，開車去supermarket 只需數分鐘。

名字高大上，圖片精美，但其實就是汽車旅館，裝修風格是上世紀90年代風格，設施陳舊，衞生堪憂，床單有血跡。關鍵是價格奇高，2000人民幣住一個破舊汽車旅館，實在是難以接受。

We had one of the 'deluxe' rooms which are all on the 2nd floor. (No lift and Only 8 rooms face the sea and mostly family rooms.) We faced a garage, banging and workmen noise, and junk yard on one side, although we did have chairs and table outside the door to admire the view and a 'for sale' plot of land on the other-so no view there in the future either. Asked to be moved but none available, the lady was really nice but advised that the lower floors faced a concrete wall and small yard each. The apartment was basic but had what you could need to self cater. The furniture was very ikea style and seen better days. It was mostly clean (kitchen window blinds dirty) and the shower had good power. There was a small 'laundrette' which was grubby and untidy. $3 a wash and $3 dry I think. Parking is not allocated and not enough spaces. They are mostly in front of the downstairs apartments along the side of the building. They are really, really tight, everyone was complaining. Would not stay again, very disappointing. Small shop next door to the garage but not much else this end of town. It is a good 20 min walk along the sea front to town and food/shops. There are very many motels along the front which looked much more modernised and better quality. Have asked my tour operator to review and remove from their lists as it is not their usual standard at all.

Just a one night for a function in Paihia, but was very impressed with this motel. It was clean and well maintained, extremely comfortable large bed (possibly a king) with nice linen, a small private patio area. We parked right outside our unit. I was particularly pleased, as we had paid just $10 less to stay somewhere much less pleasant last time so we weren’t expecting a particularly high standard. We would definitely return. Also the location is fab, you can have a beach walk in one minute, and a coffee or breakfast at the cafe just next door (as is a convenience store and petrol station).

Our son, my wife & I stayed one night as we have before on a couple of occasions & loved the handy location with a beautiful view of beach & bay directly across the road , spacious , clean , cozy temperature controlled by remote if needed. Each time we’ve stayed here the staff have been amazing, helpful and friendly eg…phoned reception to ask if we could have a bit more milk for our coffee and cornflakes, to our amazement had a fresh milk at the door in minutes. I’d highly recommend to anyone to spend time here just relaxing or a stopover on the move . Happy to share our experience

Great location. Great service. Great rooms. Great value for money. Quiet. Summarised it all above, just padding it out now because trip advisor says you need to write a minimum of 200 characters. Totally recommend staying here if you are in Paihia.
