Our short one night stay was comfortable, clean and the room well appointed even though slightly dated. Bedding was good. And staff had turned on the heating for our arrival on a cold wet windy afternoon which was a nice touch. The checkin staff were friendly and helpful.
Motel haa been somewhat updated and is very clean. Beds are comfortable and have a heated mattress pad-a real luxury! Nice kitchenette arrangement and very friendly staff. I’d stay there again if I’m in the area.

Alexander the Great motel
Comfortable, clean, awesome wifi speed, real milk, good mattress, quiet and most of all,
FABULOUS CHECK IN!
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to do laundry and the kitchenette was well supplied. It was a short walk to groceries and restaurants.
2 night stay to do a Forgotten World adventures rail trip. Old school motel but clean & comfortable. Easy walking distance to main st for eating & shops. Close to Forgotten World adventures to access excursions. No aircon so we kept the bathroom windows propped well open for some fresh air. Convenient motel for all our needs & popular stop for tourists accessing local excursions.

First time staying in Taumarunui. Staff were great, unit was clean just a little dated
Alexander Motel is not a 5* hotel but everything works as advertised. Room, kitchen and bathroom are all clean. Bed is comfortable. For a small kitchen it is well equipped including an air fryer! It is easy to find and situated <100 yards away from the main road. There is an rsa restaurant beside the hotel for good value straightforward food. On the Main Street there are many cafes for breakfast options
Comfortable beds. Property was clean. But I would have expected air con. Our room was 26 degrees at night with only the option of opening windows to cool the room, which I didn’t feel comfortable with doing on the ground floor given there were no security locks.
