Staff were extremely friend and helpful. Great TV channel selection, with smart TV options. Well stocked kitchen and the whole room was very clean.

Not much I didn't like, just a few small things let it down. Stayed 4 nights and would have liked some milk each day. Great selection of teas and coffees, but only received tiny bottle only lasted 1 day. So bring your own milk for the coffee machine. A rather small TV for such a large room. Small complimentary shampoo and conditioner wouldn't go a miss, rather than 3 lots of soap. And maybe 2 ply toilet paper would be nice.

We liked the location. we could walk to lots of restaurants, the shops and the beach. The sheets were beautiful - crisp, fresh, white. The unit was well equipped and clean. There was matching china and glassware. There were several little touches that we liked - shower gel, hand cream, tissues, a hairdryer. We liked that guests were asked not to cook strong smelling food in the unit, so the unit smelled fresh.

There was a beautiful blanket on the bed but it smelled like chemical air freshener which we really didn't like.

Leo at reception was fantastic The room was pristine bedding very clean Location very good Although on the main road the double glazing meant it was quiet

I wanted to swim for exercise -be aware that the photos of the pool are somewhat misleading Its tiny and more of a plunge pool off the carpark

Location was good, close to beach, walking distance to eateries & Four Square. Room was spacious & had everything we needed for a short stay. Kitchenette was handy, dining table, couch, coffee table. Clean & had reserved car park space. Comfy bed. Some Sky channels. Free wifi. Ceiling fan in room & heat pump in lounge.

Sofa bed was uncomfortable. Need a thick mattress cover as you can feel the springs.

Very clean rooms. Location was great, easy walking to shops, cafes and beach. Friendly reception staff. The suit was larger than I expected. Good facilities for cooking and laundry. Swimming pool was private. Easy access to outdoor seating and places to sit and relax.

Late checkout option.

Baywatch Motor Inn is super central, has lovely sized rooms, great staff and offers on-site parking. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay, and we are happy to say that we will be back. The "jet bath" was my personal favorite! They also have a lovely little pool to cool off in, and a smokers area for those who need it.

The room was clean and comfy. Staff were welcoming and respectful. It was close to sports facilities, town, the beach & the Mount. Was easy to find somewhere to eat closely following long days of sport. Lovely hot shower.

Wifi was a little 'hit and miss' at times. There was traffic noise on first night but didn't notice it after busy days.

Very close to Mt Maunganui centre. Very spacious room. The man at reception was wonderful, cheerful & helpful.

Couldn't work the AC when we got back to the room after a family function & early hours of the morning there were a group of people gathering outside on the pathway & we could hear every word, not noise proof windows.

Lee & Barry are really lovely, the room was great it had everything we needed, good wifi & smart tv for netflix etc. Awesome location, towels provided for us when we went to the hot pools down the road - we will be back next time we are in The Mount.

That we had to leave after 1 night due to floodings in Auckland (our home town), Lee was very helpful in trying to help re-sell the room so we didn't loose all our money.

Check in was quick and uncomplicated. Manager "Barry" was courteous and very helpful during the process. The room is well laid out with ample space for two people. Located within short walking distance to shops, bars and cafe's.

Car park spaces need to be managed by motel staff to ensure inconsiderate customers park their vehicle between the white lines. On my last night I was not able to park my SUV in the allotted space and had to park on the street outside the Motel. Would rather not have done that as an unknown night walker kindly placed a cone on the roof of my vehicle. Thankfully it wasn't broken into.
