Breeze Motel — Hotel in South Island

This was a very average to lower experience. The price per night was on the lower range and was definitely reflected in the stay. We were warm enough during the night, but windows were slightly broken at the hinges which meant windows didn't seal properly and we had to run the fan heater the whole time to ensure the room was warm and cozy. We were also shocked at the mold in the shower corners and in the star patterns on the bathroom window.

When we opened the kettle it was lined with brown grease. We had to wash it before using. We didn't bother asking for a replacement as we asked for an extra blanket at arrival (myself being a person who gets cold very easily) and all we got from the male owner was a stern "no, no one else has complained before".

The husband and wife team looks to be the owner/managers. The husband is very rude and unfriendly, but the wife is the complete opposite, being so friendly and warm welcoming.

I would prefer to pay a bit less for the accommodation, but at least the cutlery and bedding was nice and clean. I will stay there again, only if there are no other places available. The bonus was that it is just around the corner of the Greymouh Harrier Squash club, which was what we were looking for.

So this motel is not a hell no, but definitely not an...

Where to start.|When we got here the wife spoke no English and the husband’s English was very limited.|When we got to our room(no 3) a real OMG moment. All the furniture, white good, bed linen and curtains looked like they had come from a charity shop.|There was no smoke alarm. None of the side lights worked and only 2 of the 4 ceiling lights worked. The fridge light didn’t work, the middle shelf in the fridge door was broken and there was only 1 fridge shelf. |The bathroom was an absolute disgrace. I don’t think the vanity unit had been cleaned from the last occupants. The shower was filthy. The toilet seat was broken. And again only 1 of the 2 lights worked. And lords knows how old the hair dryer was a complete health hazard.|The bed was uncomfortable.|We were so disgusted we booked out early |If it was possible I would give this place no stars. It should be closed down and given a complete overhaul.|DO...

This was about the only place left as I came through Greymouth y'day so I went in & did the deal as I was totally knackered & needed a shower as well. Inside the motel it was pretty tidy & the bed had clean sheets & gave me 10hrs of good sleep. I found that the toilet & shower were quite small areas to move about in but then again I'm rather big. I noticed a hair dryer attached to a wall in the bathroom that was taped up with clear plastic tape & it was dirty & looked totally out of place. Another thing I came across while trying to get the TV on to the news was a broken, dirty, sticky item that had what channels I had to push to see the news. I hit the scratcher early & enjoyed my sleep. I left a note re the stuff I thought ought to be sorted & went on my way. Would I stay there again? I'm not entirely sure but would if the hair dryer & the TV channels thing were sorted as the rest of the place was...
