Plussat: The Manager was amazing, she was so friendly and helpful, we had a last minute change and she swapped rooms for us at no extra cost. The room was beautiful and so clean!

Plussat: I loved the little chocolate snacks in the fridge, the room was also very spacious. The mist fan was interesting.

Miinukset: The units do not seem to be very soundproofed from each other, as I could hear laughing and conversation from the adjoining unit through the wall, even though they were not were not speaking raucously. Fortunately they went to bed the same time as me.

Plussat: The shower was great. The location and room was just where we needed to be and the staff super helpful and nice.

The ensuite bathroom was bigger than most hotel ensuites. . The large communal kitchen was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The children adored the very spacious interesting grounds.

Miinukset: Shared Laundry/kitchen not being readily accessible. (Need to request key). Facilities had advertised hot tub, it wasn't operational. No notice to advise. (Should be removed from advertising). We book and pay for use of all advertised facilities, we expect them to be available.

Miinukset: Only downside was no iron in room, had to go to another room to iron.

Plussat: The pool was lovely for the children, room reasonable size

Miinukset: I thought it was over priced for the facilities and the extra $10 for using Mastercard was a bit of a cheek to be honest as it was actually much more expensive than other motels with similar facilities in Wanganui. Noisy near the railway track too.

Plussat: Owner and staff brilliant and knowledgeable. She looked after us amazingly with a huge smile. We will go back for sure.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There wasn't anything I didnt like

Plussat: Yup comfy bed

Miinukset: Gym.... what gym

Plussat: Liked the clean bathroom and fluffy towels ×2. Shower wash and shampoo was provided. Liked the coffee pot and filter coffee. I missed having more than 2 pillows, or more than 2 cups , two knives 2 spoons etc. I expected a lower level disability unit. Pictures were of it... but they said I didnt ask specifically for it. No lift but they helped us get suitcases up to second level.

Miinukset: I expected spotless bedding. The sheets were clean but duvet had dark hair thru it.(not mine) The bedspread hadn't been washed recently either I suspect.

Plussat: Highly recommended the chalets they have set up! Better value than a hotel, I will definitely be back.

Plussat: Loved the room, so fresh, clean, and being so close to the awa was beautiful. Enjoyed the games room and the facilities on offer. We will definitely be returning with our whanau in future.

Great amenities on site. Great games room. Lots of vending machines. Warm pool. Great place to stay. Pleasant happy staff . Good restaurant only 5 mins drive away. Use of bikes .

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: The manager was amazing at addressing the people in the caravan who broke into my car. She handled it discreetly & kept any disruption to a minimum. Gained my trust & confidence. Thank you! Apart from that, the facilities are great. Very clean & nothing broken!!! Swimming pool is great for kids. BBQ is available. Communal kitchen is very clean. So are toilets! The place is very safe because the manager keeps an eye on everything & is quick to respond to incidents. My 10 year old son & I were in good hands. We stayed in the tiny chalet, as in tiny house on a chassis. Fantastic room! Highly recommend. They have glamping options so our next visit will be to stay in one of the glamping tents!

Miinukset: The people in the caravan next door were exceptionally untrustworthy - they got into my car without my permission & moved it!!! Then left the engine on!!!

Miinukset: Property was very "tired". Table sat four but the unit only had crockery and cutlery for two so if wanted to have guests over for a meal they would have had to bring own plates and utensils.

Miinukset: Awesome facilities for kids of varying ages

Plussat: Maybe a back unit next time.

Miinukset: A bit to much road noise. And street lights as live in a rural neighborhood.

Plussat: Facilities and room size great. Outdoor area quiet and relaxing

Miinukset: Lack of river view from room.

Plussat: Great views of river

Miinukset: Just had no so comfortable double bed

Plussat: Location to river and beautiful downtown area.

Plussat: Location ,easy access to cbd and river

Miinukset: Layout of the kitchenette but why it was laid out that way

Plussat: Rooms were modern, clean, plenty of room & friendly hardworking staff!!! We’re coming back for sure!!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Clean, comfortable and within walking distance to town centre

Miinukset: Fridge in kitchen was difficult to open without things falling out

Miinukset: Doubled booked our room so we had to sub a one bedroom for a studio but no compensation.

Plussat: Great location Good size rooms Friendly housekeeping staff Free car parking (although you can't always get one later on)

Miinukset: They are called Econo Lodge, yet they don't recycle! I figured with a name like that, that they would be eco friendly. Bedding configuration wasn't right when we arrived, but was no biggie, we rearranged to make it work

Plussat: The beds were perfectly superb.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very tired.

Plussat: Good buffet meal

Miinukset: Shabby Unit

Plussat: Location was good, the unit was very clean and fresh

Plussat: Dinner & breakfast. Bedroom olde world-type decor & furnishing. Comfortable too. The fact that the "Rut" is still standing as a monument to Wanganui's early settlement days.

Miinukset: No lift - we both have mobility problems and having to take steep stairs to our room & carry luggage upstairs unassisted was frankly very painful & totally unpleasant & unexpected. When we asked about a lift we were very curtly told "you can't have a lift in a 200 year old building". The truth would have been a more acceptable answer ie my ancestors were some of the very early pioneer settlers around the Wanganui area & it was ignorant of the staff member to state the Rutland Hotel was in Wanganui in 1820. The other matter we found not up to expectations was that all the beautiful collection of horse brasses in the dining area had were not clean - instead of being a well-cared for gleaming, shiny brass collection, they are dull & dirty, along with the significant collection of dirty leather horse tackle crying out for saddle soap & elbow grease! Equally uncared for in the dining room are the collection of dirty old bottles - such a shame as instead of achieving an old world pub atmosphere as intended, it looks shabby & neglected. Also having a shower over the bath was unexpected - nor was there a non-slip mat for in the bath - again not considerate for those with mobility issues.

Plussat: The place is amazing, the room was huge and very comfortable and the hotel is super well located! We loved the food at the restaurant and the staff was super nice!

Plussat: The location was excellent. Room was clean and comfy bed. Staff were friendly and had a great breakfast.

Miinukset: Shower pressure was a bit low

Plussat: Historic Hotel in centre of town, nice to be able to walk out the door and wander down to the River walk. The staff are friendly, the room was clean and airy. No air conditioning but there is a nice big fan in the room to cool the room down on a summer evening.

Miinukset: The room is large there was room for a bigger bed. The bed was quite small and quite hard and probably a cheap mattress as we had problems with roll together. The cereals and fruit were nice in the breakfast but the toast was soggy and unapetising.

Plussat: Big Room, big bed, good pub downstairs. Basic breakfast but good, included in room rate. Great value for miney

Miinukset: Room not totally private as a walkway to additional accomadation ran past the windows one could not be closed.

Plussat: Fantastic heritage hotel in wonderful location in heart of Whanganui.

Miinukset: There was nothing I disliked about this hotel

Plussat: Central position in Whanganui

Plussat: A very good motel in a great location, the staff and owners are genuine and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The quietness and hospitality given to us. Great place for our small dog. Everything needed for tea coffee and milk and we had microwave. Very comfortable bed and setting arrangements

Miinukset: To have Sky

Plussat: Very hospitable and the staff was nice. Checking in in here was easy and we felt very welcomed. Person at front desk shook our hands and gave us the tour of the hostel. 5/5. The breakfast was a nice bonus.

Miinukset: Nothing, every thing was better than expected

Plussat: Realy good hostel Perfect place to relax

Plussat: I really like how they had a bambi called Bella and the fact I got breakfast and a shower for all up 55 -60 $ for 2 nights was great.

Miinukset: 2nd night the bed was so hard. But I still got sleep.

Plussat: Great location, easy parking. Well appointed chalet-style room and sparkling clean. Great laundry and washing lines available. Staff very friendly and efficient. Quiet for a good nights sleep. Best shower ever!

Miinukset: Nothing not to like

Plussat: Friendly staff Very clean and tidy Pet friendly

Plussat: I liked the location. Parking was easy. Bed comfortable.

Miinukset: No sink provided but a plastic bowl for dish washing. This was O.K. in summer when not much hot food is needed but not so good at cooler times of the year perhaps. Bowl didn't fit easily into the bathroom hand basin.

Plussat: Very clean and tidy rooms

Miinukset: Nothing was worth disliking

Plussat: Good service and great location. Close drive to town and very quiet area.

Plussat: Well priced older motel that had been renovated. Room was stuffy on arrival but once I found the fan in closet and opened windows it cooled down enough to sleep on a very warm evening, Free wifi was good too. Nice to have a bedside lamp. Reasonably comfortable bed. Liked the biscuit and mint extras.

Miinukset: No shampoo to use in the bathroom.

Plussat: Very basic clean on entry.

Miinukset: I stayed 3 nights the second in 2 weeks, and housekeeping comes into your room, but only to empty rubbish and replace towels. Dishes were done, but still had food all over it. The daily clean ups seriously let the stay down. This 2nd stay in 2 weeks, I was placed in unit 1 - I DO NOT recommend unit 1, wall points hanging out the wall, unusual smell, and right by the reception so horrendously noisy .

Plussat: No breakfast but handy location.

Miinukset: Cant remember now.

Plussat: Position of the motel is good, close to town and has afternoon sun

Miinukset: The bathroom, particularly the shower was dirty and had a lot of black mold, I left messages for the staff about the shower, but it was not cleaned during our stay

Plussat: Close to event venue we were attending. Basic but to be expected for price range.

Miinukset: Lack of security latches on rear windows meant we were unable/reluctant to leave ajar for ventilation and cooling.

Plussat: It was relaxed, location was easy to find and room nice , clean and comfortable.
