Beach Front Motel Napier
We had a room on ground floor. Looking through parked cars to get a view. No table and chairs to sit out. Awful dubious stains on carpet. Dining chair seats hanging off. Shower door broken. If we had another option of somewhere to stay we would have gone - so pleased it was only one night.

Harbour View Motel on Ahuriri Beach in Napier NZ with sea view suites
Internet was very good. Arrived late for check in, but they left key and a note, so that was really thoughtful. (and appreciated) Only weird thing is that there was a Fridge, Oven, Microwave, Jug etc, but no toaster? First motel I have stayed in that did not have a toaster, so that seemed very strange ...
