Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Decor was a little outdated but the room was very clean. Room amenities also very good and staff were most courteous and helpful. Only negative was some noise from the retaurant/bar next door but it was a Friday & Saturday night stay so to be expected, band stopped abruptly at 10pm and so relatively quiet after that.

Great Motel

A lovely place with a great view of the bay! Can feel a little bit exposed, the lacy blinds are a little bit too see through. Would also be really nice if there were hooks by the door to hang coats etc. Great location, walking distance to all the tourist things!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in an ocean view unit at the front of the property and for the price it was fantastic. Short walk to restaurants and shops. Our room was small, but clean. There are larger rooms, but we intentionally chose room 7, I think, for more privacy than the other units. The furnishings and room in general has “tired” decor so if you’re looking for modern and updated this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a great stay on a budget this should fit your needs and price point.

Little Gem in Paihia

So happy with our choice of the smaller Waterfront option at Ala Moana Motel. We didnt need loads of space as we were on tours both days and pur Unit 8 was superclean, well positioned and comfortable. Older style bathroom but all that we needed. John our host was welcoming and helpful. Glad to find a guest laundry when we are on longer road trips. 2 mins walk from the Isite and tour offices, Restaurants and the town. Totally recommend Ala Moana. Free parking too
