Te Puia Springs Hotels with Parking

When i first entered the lobby, I thought ”OMG what is this place ?” It seemed like a hotel version of the Bates motel. The owner who is less than fluent in English seemed incredibly enthusiastic to please but his ideas about running a ”hotel” need some mentoring.. The hotel is past its best and is probably more suited to be classed as hostel style accommodation. Certainly not in the $100 a night (solo) that is was listed. $70 would be tops. I arrived wet from a motorbike ride so having a clean bathroom, a hot shower and a/c in the room that I could use to get warm was great. The room was clean, the bed comfy but as other reviewers have said, it needs crisp white sheets.. It is a big, largely empty building and doesn't seem very inviting and has that smell of a million fat fried meals having been cooked there. In summary, it was convenient for me to use but nothing like the picture i had of the place after going to the au.trip.com/hotels to book.
