Stayed one night at the Admirals Motor Lodge. Found the rooms quite dated and the bathroom fairly cramped. Also there was no way to adjust the room temperature. Overall though the rooms were fairly clean and in good condition. Worth considering if you are looking for somewhere a bit cheaper.

Hosts very welcoming and pleasant. Water pressure poor and you had to spin around to get wet in the shower. Small ensuite, not good if youre a tall person. Dated in decor, but comfortable. Appeared clean.

We stayed on the ground floor with 2 bedrooms upstairs. The room was old but sitll comfortable. Water pressure of the shower was low so it made it difficult to have an enjoyable shower after a long day on the road. Floorboards were creaking so you need to be nimble when taking the stairs.

Have stayed here frequently since this complex opened and never had a problem. Last week however, things have changed. The unit was very tired looking with bits of wooden board on the wall in the stairway, carpets thread bear etc. The worst aspect though is that it was very dirty. The fridge had mould inside it, the microwave had food... More

On the down-side: - Our ground-floor room had large windows facing the parking area - ie no privacy from people outside unless all the curtains are pulled. - Not a great night's sleep due to the appliances: The heater was really very noisy and slow to warm the room up. Because it was so noisy I had to switch it... More

Walked in off the street as the outside looked great, price was great, room was spacious but simply things were over looked such as in the bathroom there was thick dust caked on around the light.. The oven needed a good clean.. Excellent customer service from the hostesses, such a shame about the cleanliness!

We stayed at Admirals motor lodge for one night in mid August and found our stay to be extremely pleasant, thought the rooms are a little on the "dated" side, the apartments were EXTREMELY spacious and the host was soooooooooooo friendly and helpful... we underestimated how long it would take to drive to Blenheim from Franz Josef so i called...
