Lake Taupo Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"We like to stay here as it’s close to town and the spa bath is excellent. Have stayed quite a few times. Unfortunately there were a few disappointing things this visit. The only two wine glasses were completely different sizes, only one spoon, only tiny milk on first day. It seems they don’t service each day now so no extra milk or replacement towels."

"Not much positive things to say apart from pool, parking, and lake view. Room decir disappointing certainly requires overall upgrade internal and external"
