Unfortunate and Uncomfortable Stay
👍 Like my review! We had a 2 night stay at Midway Motel in Oamaru, New Zealand as part of our trek across the country. We chose the place due to its value including a 5 minute drive to downtown, free onsite parking, and walking distance to several eateries. The studio was clean and spacious with fast internet. The bedroom had a comfortable queen sized bed and twin sized bed with pillows and several outlets nearby along a television. The bathroom had an effective toilet, a sink with plenty of counter space, a standing shower, and amenities (shampoo, body wash, women's toiletry bag). The kitchen had a dining table and chairs, utensils, plates, bowls, pots, pans, cups, glassware, microwave, stovetop, toaster, kettle for drinks (coffee, tea, chocolate), refrigerator, dish soap, and drying rack. However, our stay was made uncomfortable when a female owner confronted us about photos and videos we uploaded onto Google Maps about the room, our request for an additional key, our feedback to Expedia about her comment that we were not an older couple when requesting a bottom room floor, and our feedback about the lack of cleanliness of the kitchenette items that should've been thoroughly washed. Although we explained our side of the story, we did not feel welcomed by them and had to raise the issue to Expedia. Given this, we would not recommend this place and don't plan to return.
