Very good

A great room rate next to the lake. Location 10/10. Laid back relaxed feel about the place. Although the Motel was old our room was clean and had all that we needed for a night away. We arrived late in the afternoon and our unit was beautifully warm, a thoughtful touch. The staff were friendly.
Reception was not very welcoming. Was strict on 3pm checkin. Then at 3pm multiple people at same time tried checking in. Excuse was rooms not ready . Many rooms are ready so as regular traveler and hotels.com gold member traveler, i would ask the management to be like 99.9% of motels that checkin from 2pm but also very often are polite and welcome people who are a bit earlier. Otherwise the room was ok, but again i was meant to be in a room with pool view but suddenly got changed , was not impressed . So i hope management see this and take appropriate steps to fix and be more welcome to paying guests if they want return visits as ive stayed in taupo over 100 times and never had such an experience.

It was a lovely setting being right in the lakefront but the room did not look like the pictures on the website and there was a weird smell to the room upon entering. A little bit old and outdated, the queen bed was on wheels so moved alot and the harmonies did not work - which is essential in taupo winter with -3 degree mornings! Outdoor spa and pool was lovely though - such a good temperature for winter!

Stayed three nights in a two bedroom lakefront apartment. The unit was clean and tidy with great views but a little dated and probably due for renovation but great value for money and the extra bonus of being able to go next door to the Millennium Hotel for breafast and use of their facilities as well. The swimming pool was excellent and a great temperature for winter. All the staff we came in contact with were lovely and helpful.
The only down for me was i booked a 2 bedroom as i recently had knee surgery and needed my own bed. Unfortunately the single beds in the 2nd bedroom were quite small and not really suitable for adults, they would be perfect for children though.
Location is perfect, right on the water front and est access to walkway. This was our third stay at this motel and previously had stayed in the 1 bedroom apartments next to the pool.
Beautiful view of the lake which was right on our front door. We loved the grotto pool also. Older style units, but nice bedding, great water pressure in the shower and we could cook which all made for a comfortable family stay with a million dollar view.
Old but charming. Perfect for a night stay with beautiful views.

Millennium staff at checkin were great ans assissted kindly when no wifi information was available in room.
Room however lacked any warm bedding in main bedroom- kids room had approproate bedding. No spares available.
Room full of dust, no surfaces had been wiped down.
Poorly maintained room cosmetically.
Beds comfortable
Couch comfortable
Heating in lounge good however arrived to an oil heater on high wedged between 2 material chairs!
Good views from lakeview room.
Great affordable place for families. Right on the boardwalk for a bike to town or feed the ducks outside. Great pool facilities! Comfortable place would stay again
It was a great layout with two bedrooms and a living room. Little bit dated in decor but clean and family friendly. Although we didn’t get a chance to use them (we arrived later) the pool and spa looked great and really warm. Being able to check in with the millennium hotel next door is really helpful when arriving late.
Clean and tidy. Heated pool. Room was serviced daily with clean towels daily. All cooking utensils were provided.
Full size and good quality soap, shampoo and moisturizer was provided which was nice.

Excellent stay perfect for my hubby and I with our two young children aged two and under. Nice and safe place to stay and clean and tidy. We loved the outdoor heated pool outside of our bedroom, would definitely stay again. Thanks for having. Ud .

We had a lake front unit which had a lovely view and I loved the sound of the water at night. Easy access/parking, staff lovely, love the use of the millennium pools. My only issue was that noise travels between units and a family across from us with a baby crying constantly during the night kept waking us up.
