Excellent accommodation - highly recommended
Excellent accommodation at a great price. Very clean and spacious well appointed unit. Very close to all amenities in Taupo. Great view of the lake from the balcony. Were fortunate to be upgraded to a superior room. This was our first stay here but will certainly stay here again when staying in Taupo.

Lake Taupo Motor Inn for the Win!
Last minute decision to stay in Taupo for the night instead of carrying on, have stayed here before quite a few times so knew it was a great place anyways, and was a good deal for the night! Friendly staff, easy parking, clean comfortable rooms, walkable to town for a meal etc. Would recommend and will be back!

I arrived booked for two nights and on check in was allocated to a room which smelled strongly when I entered. It was a bit like burning but off. I opened both doors to create a through breeze and unpacked. It was too bad to handle so I went to reception. They had the no vacancy sign on. She gave me an air freshener spray which I used in large volume and then returned as requested. I spent the night in that room but it smelt badly all night and I was awake at 5am. I was at reception a few minutes after it opened at 8am and said it was not ok and could I have a different ground floor room please. I was allocated a new one without difficulty. The woman said that she suspected people had burned something in their previously. I was both validated and frustrated at once. That means you put someone into an access room knowing it smelled bad. I have multiple conditions triggered by things like this. I was so frustrated by that. I do feel bad for them, they were done wrong by their prior guest, but they passed that on to me. Not acceptable and I will not be returning. I also noted she didn’t actually apologise for the inconvenience at all.
