We stayed at the Acapulco for 1 night, great location quiet, good room layout and comfy beds. Free Wifi. Kitchen was well stocked and clean. Very good price for the holiday season, weather was pretty bad so spent most of the evening in the room . The whole family enjoyed our stay. Our unit had heat pump and a heater... More

I stayed at the Acapulco for 1 night on business in Nov 2011. The motel was close to the town centre and well priced for a large 1 bedroom. Free wifi and nice cooked breakfast. Leaky shower door which was fixed by the manager. No other issues. More

I booked this hotel because the website boasts " Our spacious Studio units . ." but there was nothing spacious about it! Definitly nothing like the website. Heater in room didnt work so had to use the aircon which was noisy too, would not stay here again. One positive was room was clean. More

Without a name we can't identify which unit you booked. All our units are spacious as in the website except for two units which are very popular with our guest's who want clean comfortable accommodation for a night at a reasonable tariff. The problem with the heater would have been the thermostat tripped and needed to be re-set if you... More

We stayed in a 'deluxe studio' ....and think that other rooms here must have been upgraded and ours just hadn't as we had a very different experience to others reviewing this motel. We were quite hopeful as it said 4 star on the board outside and hot air heating...oh yes brilliant we thought...we walked in and walked out again asap!... More

The agent booked a studio unit with kitchen facilities air/conditioning and queen size bed which you had. The agent called the unit delux not us, on our website there is no mention of delux... More

I stayed here for three weeks in one of my business trips in New Zealand. The motel is spacious and rooms are being cleaned everyday. Towels and coffee/tea box are being replenished everyday. The place is just walking distance from the Taupo Lake, I remember I used to walk from the motel to see the beautiful scenery of the Taupo... More
