    Musty smell in room, cleanness of room needs improvement, needs painting and needs more heating. At least one heater needed per room.

    Good location, 2 rooms, low price, comfy beds, and a nice hot shower.

    Suitable stay for couple of nights to explore the area, away from the "big" city areas.

    The appartment was a little outdated and someone had damaged some furniture and so, which is a shame. The ligthing was a bit poor, perhaps replacing some broken lightbulbs will help (minor fix).

    The appartment is located near the main street, however the traffic noise will die down during the night. It has a kitchen, which I didn't use, and a table with chairs to sit at. The manager is a friendly young man, who will help you when needed. The restaurants are within walking distance and sightseeing locations are around, use car. It is not the most luxurious but it will suit your stay for a couple of days with the experience of a small NZL town.

    The kitchen was so dated and in many places in dismal repair. I wouldn't have wanted to have created a meal in it. No plug for the vanity. A refresh definitely needed throughout.

    Crisp clean and comfortable beds. Shower pressure was great.

    Accommodation is run down and in need of a facelift. Holes in the walls, floorboarding coming up and a general lack of cleanliness / care. Photos of the accommodation were misleading

    Staff were helpful and friendly, smooth check in process.

    But it was very shabby - holes in the walls, several lights that didn’t go, ripped wall paper, a fridge that was difficult to open, because on carpet, no bowls to eat cereal from, an insecure , in-stuck piece of vinyl in the entrance doorway that could cause a trip., burn mark on floor vinyl. It was pretty horrible to be honest. I realise the motels may be used for emergency housing - and good on you for doing that.

    Bed was comfortable and clean. Shower was good. It had almost everything we needed.

    On the main road which was very noisy. Kitchen facilities were very disappointing. Cutlery, plates missing. No dishwashing liquid or towels. A very basic motel in need of a makeover.

    We had the room closest to the front - maybe 10 metres from the main road - every truck that went by caused the room to shake - earthquake level. Also having the heaters on caused a short-circuit and no lights - very nice guy in the front office sorted it out eventually

    Good shower - pressure and no temperature fluctuations like in our last motel

    The main house that is on the property accommodates interesting people. There was a couple singing horrendous karaoke about 6 metres from my unit between the hours of 7.30pm - 10.30pm and cleaning staff who also resided in the house were verbally and physically violent towards young relatives on the premise within 6 metres of my unit. Also there was no extraction fan above the stove top so smoke alarm went off during the first 2 minutes of cooking steak.

    Receptionist was accommodating and lovely to speak to also the room was exceptional clean.

    I stayed at Broadway lodge over the Easter weekend and would highly recommend this place. There is an old New Zealand aesthetic to Stratford which makes the atmosphere really enjoyable. The apartment was clean, staff were respectful, facilities were well equipped (tv, cleaning liquid, towels), close to local shops in Stratford and the Egmont National park. Everything was available to make my stay enjoyable, and having a base to adventure in Taranaki was fantastic.

    Unit was very run-down with poor kitchen equipment, to the extent I hesitated to use it, looked like old stove replacement - so who did that electric work ?? holes smashed in doors, barely a light-bulb anywhere in the fittings, wallpaper ripped off the walls, dirty carpet. Obviously not repaired after emergency housing.

    Anil the manager did all he could to make my stay more comfortable including extra bedding - but he had to launder extra duvet to do so - shld have extra stores available - (not his fault). Anil the manager very helpful with local information.
