点评:We spent three nights in Gisborne in late April (to watch the rocket launch at Mahia but that’s another story). I chose White Heron Motor Lodge after looking at the reviews here.
I phoned and the booking process was very simple. Very friendly and helpful service from Cheryl Lynn. We got a discount for booking directly by phone, thank you.
We arrived around 3pm and checked in. It’s very easy to find on the main road in from the Waioeka Gorge/SH2 road.
It’s a very nice motel. Good parking right outside the room, and all rooms are ground floor.
We were in Unit 23, a studio. It was spacious and had a King sized bed (we sleep in a King at home and don’t like anything smaller as we’re used to having the space). The unit was very clean and modern. A spacious bathroom as well.
On our first night there wasn’t a lot of wind but early evening it was gusty enough to somehow blow down some of the wooden and corrugated iron fence outside our bathroom window. It was making quite a noise flopping around in the wind so we rang the office, and in very short order Huey/Hughie was out there with his tools and took the damaged part of the fence away so that it was nice and quiet again. Many thanks for sorting this out for us so quickly and efficiently.
Any gripes? None of any note. There is, as others have noted, no towel rail in the bathroom. However the towels are in the cupboard under the handbasin, and who of us reuses their towels? To be honest, I never do, I like to have a nice clean fluffy towel each day so it’s not a biggie to not have a towel rail.
There is no phone in the room but to be honest, how many people use a phone? I do occasionally but I can just as easily use my mobile. I guess if you don’t have a mobile it might be an issue but the offer is there in the room compendium to contact the office if you need a phone. I imagine it’s quite expensive to have phones and landlines in each room, so I’m quite happy to lower the cost for the motel owner/manager by using my mobile if/when needed.
We would definitely stay here next time we’re in Gisborne. Thank you for a lovely stay.
翻译:4 月下旬,我们在吉斯伯恩度过了三个晚上(观看马希亚的火箭发射,但这是另一回事)。看了这里的评论,我选择了White Heron Motor Lodge。
我打电话,预订过程非常简单。 Cheryl Lynn 提供的非常友好和乐于助人的服务。我们直接通过电话预订有折扣,谢谢。
我们在下午 3 点左右到达并登记入住。在主干道上从 Waioeka Gorge/SH2 路很容易找到。
这是一个非常好的汽车旅馆。很好的停车位就在房间外面,所有房间都在一楼。
我们在 Unit 23,一个工作室。它很宽敞,有一张特大号床(我们在家里睡一张特大号床,不喜欢任何更小的东西,因为我们已经习惯了这个空间)。该单元非常干净和现代。还有宽敞的浴室。
在我们入住的第一个晚上,风不大,但傍晚的时候风很大,以某种方式吹倒了我们浴室窗外的一些木制波纹铁栅栏。它在风中飘来飘去发出很大的噪音,所以我们给办公室打了电话,很快 Huey/Hughie 就带着他的工具到了那里,把围栏损坏的部分拿走了,这样它就又安静了。非常感谢您如此快速有效地为我们解决这个问题。
有任何抱怨吗?没有任何注意事项。正如其他人所说,浴室里没有毛巾架。但是毛巾在洗手盆下面的橱柜里,我们谁会重复使用毛巾?老实说,我从不这样做,我喜欢每天都有一条干净、蓬松的毛巾,所以没有毛巾架也没什么大不了的。
房间里没有电话,但老实说,有多少人使用电话?我偶尔会这样做,但我可以轻松地使用我的手机。我想如果您没有手机,这可能是个问题,但如果您需要电话,房间简编中会提供联系办公室的提议。我想每个房间都有电话和固定电话是相当昂贵的,所以我很乐意在需要时使用我的手机来降低汽车旅馆老板/经理的成本。
下次我们在吉斯伯恩时,我们肯定会留在这里。感谢您的愉快住宿。
