The service and great and the bed comfy and warm. However I was told I was upgraded the room needed some love with loose cupboards and missing switches and a very dirty bathroom fan.
Overall was good experience but not quiet what I expected compared to the pictures
Excellent accommodation! Clean and tidy! The rooms are spacious and well equipped kitchen. Nice comfortable beds. The shower had amazing pressure! The staff were friendly, lovely greeting at the front desk! I would definitely recommend Summit Motor Lodge. 👌
I had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and thoughtfully designed featuring a fully equipped kitchen that made my stay feel like home. I especially enjoyed the private deck perfect for morning coffee and relaxing evening drinks. The property itself was warm and inviting the pool area was clean and well-maintained. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add lounge chairs to lay on and a few side tables by the pool for added comfort. Overall a wonderful experience and a place I would happily return to.
Room was perfect bed was so comfy. Loved that the pool and spa was right there. Great stay.

We had a large comfortable room with separate kitchen and bathroom. We were parked (free) next to the room and were able to open many windows to enjoy the fresh air.
The room was very clean and well-equipped but really could benefit from some refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and made up daily to a very high standard. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water The receptionist was pleasant and welcoming and the cleaning staff were helpful and responsive. Overall, this is a very good place to stay.
Clean comfortable quiet and kitchenette was equipped well for small meals.
Check in was easy and faultless.
Would definately stay again.
Good view of mountain and port.
Very good value for money.
Staff polite, Room clean but paint coming off walls. No curtains just vertical blinds. Air con good. Smoke alarm not working was disconnected and sitting in kitchen. Not shown to room but shown on map. Walkway outside units not well lit. Pool looks great but was end of autumn so a bit cold for that.
Stayed at Summit Motor Lodge in Tauranga and was really impressed! The place was clean, comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The location is super convenient — close to shops and easy access to the motorways. But the best part for us was that it’s pet friendly, which made our stay so much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tauranga!
Pool was easily accessible... had cooking facilities it was better than th place we had stayed the night before and reasonably priced certainly come bak here again
Nice play, family friendly, had all the essentials. The only downfall is the plumbing. We could hear some plumbing lines in the wall bag constantly when someone was using the shower. Besides that, receptions was super friendly!
We stayed 2 nights here. Easy location. Great accomodation. Its winter but the place was well insulated and has air-condition. Bed is super comfy. Lots of space for us to move. Everything we need was there. Thanks you Summit!
