Fitzherbert Court Motel

👍 Like my review! We had an overnight night stay at Fitzherbert Court Motel in Hokitika, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place as a stopover due to the vibrant downtown, nearby beach (including its gorgeous sunset), Hokitika gorge, glow worms, and free parking. The checkin process was very smooth with our assigned room #9 and allocated parking space. The room was clean and spacious, bed and pillows were comfortable, jacuzzi bathtub had a shower, separate toilet room was convenient, the bathroom ventilation fan and towel warmer were nice, internet was optimal, outlets throughout and near the end of the bed were useful for charging, and several amenities (e.g. instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, provided fresh milk, kettle, toaster, cutlery, utensils, cookware, microwave, stovetop, fridge, iron and ironing board) were helpful. The toiletries were simple with a soap bar and hair shampoo conditioner. They also provided an on-site laundromat and continental breakfast for a fee but the luggage hold after checkout was complimentary! There were a few things that could be improved in the room (e.g. loose cabinet screws, missing painting, tears on the curtain) but it did not bother us much because we needed a comfortable place to sleep. For example, the room was far away from the main street allowing some peace and quiet after a long day. Overall, we would be open to staying here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

Staff put notes on all the bed which tell how to sleep on there bed with messing their beddings. And the manager didn’t seems very frnds. Although was not not rude but a smile on the face matters .

Booked this hotel months in advance for a room with a spa bath. When we checked in there was no spa bath, and the receptionist said all the rooms with spa baths were currently occupied. There was no additional refund or any sort of apology. There was no fan or aircon in the room. The water pressure in the shower was abysmal. The wifi was shocking and kept dropping out on us. Very frustrating stay at this motel.
