Kensington Motel — Hotel in North Island

I came up from Auckland to do a Tribute Show my venue had booked my room.. It was taking time to set up and organise things so I thought I had better call it was 5.pm I talk to Glenice and she was pleasent and said no worries if your not here by 8.pm I lll leave the key under the mat..

After I finished the show I arrived looked under the mat there was no key. Out of kindness I thought I won’t wake anyone .. There was a window open so I climbed through it ( feeling like a crim ) but nowhere to sleep .. eventually got in . No milk in the fridge. Off to the garage .. in the morning.. Shower .. No towels . Shower was weak pathetic.. Hate to complain.. But hugely disappointed.. And Sorry no five star.. It’s a 1...

I travel frequently for work regulary and i do often stay in motels both in nz and australia.

This motel is by far the most cleanest motel i have ever had the privlage of staying in.

As a bonus its not only super clean but the nice couple who manage this place have the most outstanding people skills Which after a long drive and 2 flights is a sight for sore eyes.

So so clean Thankyou kensington motel you are a standard that needs to be educated to other motels.

And just a quick add on.....i think i counted 35 steps to the best fish and chip shop in northland...

Kensington...

We have stayed here twice now and love the location. Walking distance to supermarkets, eateries in Kensington and town. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We have stayed in many hotels but I love this place as its quiet even though it's on the main road. It has comfy beds, very clean and the kitchenette in our large one bedroom unit had everything we need. One thing to note parking is limited to one space per room, but there was plenty out on the road. The second night there was vacant rooms so we were able to park our other car on site. Look forward to seeing the staff again at...
