Senator Motor Inn

Stayed Saturday & Sunday nights. Location has a fresh 'downtown' feel and a great outlook over the harbour. No restaurant but easy access to town centre and nearby cafes - e.g., the very busy 'PBC', which has a quaint grungy/retro vibe, and good food. Room was generously large, and clean. Road is directly outside, but surprisingly quiet. Friendly, helpful staff.

Handy location near to Harbour and a short walk to beach. Big rooms and huge bathroom. Rating 3.5

Would stay again

Good location. Good room. Good value

Wonderful location, a short walk to a number of restaurants. Large rooms, enjoyed our visit although only stayed the one night

Rating: 4.5

The Senator Motor Inn was a very comfortable and enjoyable place to spend my time.

The location was great, an easy walk into the town centre but in a quiet enough location not to suffer any traffic noise.

There was also beautiful views of the river and river side parks.

I would recommend the motel.

as above

An very nice place to stay, walk to CBD in minutes, good views across to inner harbour, quiet, very little noise, friendly service, rooms with all amenities. Only downside was the sofa was terrible to sit on and room would be enhanced by the addition of a couple of arm chairs. But a very good place to stay.I would rate it 4+.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Good facilities and friendly hosts. Good value for money and very handy to town.

Clean, tidy, very nice people....would definately stay again.

good price, clean and good size room, plus friendly staff

excellent all round; nice clean room, really nice people. highly recommended

The location is excellent and the studio apartment we had was exceptionally spacious. The outlook, towards the river and marina, is great.

We had no problem but parking on the property might be short if the motel was fully booked.

Very nicely furnished, though two set backs, no cooking facilities and no lift.

I would recommend this property - it was lovely and the hosts were really friendly and helpful.

Very good standard of room, with excellent outlook over harbour. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

We stayed three nights, should have stayed longer, it was so enjoyable.

Lovely unit with great views of inner harbour. Will be back next year, for longer this time.

A very enjoyable place to stay; nice room with a great outlook.

Good value for the the room price

A good location with walking distance to town, restraurants and to Waikane Beach with walkways close by

My friends and I came to stay at the Senator Motor Inn for our trip to Gisborne Wine and Food festival. The accomodation was close to bus pick up and drop off point which meant it was the perfect location. The room was tidy and clean with all necessities provided.

We were really happy with the room and bathroom.

Also really friendly service when checked in and out.

Would recommend.

The unit was the largest and roomiest we have found anywhere. The location is also fairly quiet during the night with little traffic noise. There is an excellent licensed restaurant within one block. Excellent!

Wonderful , lovely ,clean and cozy room with great views!

My staying in Senator MI was so comfortable that I will recommend it to all my friends.

Modern, nice and clean and tidy. Beautiful views and centrally located.

Good accommodation, tidy, roomy and clean. Friendly staff. Great location.

Sadly, an oversight meant my booking could not be honoured but Senator owners were great and arranged an alternate booking for me locally which was everyhting I expected.

It's all about the service I reckon. Senator deliver that by the ton....it's how businesses handle hassles that defines them.

Good quality room with excellent outlook from upper floor. Very well priced. Great customer service following up on over payment mistake by customer.

fantastic place to stay so handy to town restaurants and awesome views of the boats in the harbour

Friendly reception, hassle free booking in. Room area more than adequate, bathroom excellent. Great view and balcony. Plenty of room and well specified. Was a wee bit noisy with my room being right on corner almost but didn't cause me to lose any sleeep really. Most CBD locations will have some noise on a Fridfay night sataurday morning with the odd reveller heading home. I highly recommend the Senator and would have no hesitation staying there again.

Really enjoyed my time at the senator, the rooms were awesome. Service was also excellent, cleaners did a good job while we were out of our rooms. The only complaint i have was the cleaners leaving the door to the deck and the windows open after they finished cleaning the rooms. Rating 4/5

Great location - walking distance to town centre

Very clean and well presented, management were very helpful to individual needs

Was just for one night but suited us admirably and was close to town and the picturesque wharf activities. Would have liked to have had the time to enjoy the morning sun on the balcony but had other commitments

The Senator was great, lovely spacious unit, very clean, gorgeous view and the staff were extremely helpful.

Unfortunately they did not receive my booking through this site (Jasons) and were not expecting me.

Fortunately, they were amazing and found me a unit without any fuss (the 2nd to last available) and charged me less than this site quoted!

I would definitely stay at the Senator again. 5*

Im on the road offten with my job. this was my frist time staying at the Senator Motor Inn. was so impressed. That im now makeing this my frist choice when staying in Gisborne. Going to make a monthly standed booking! Top service

Great accom, clean, tidy, well laid out with a great view

thxs v much

The Senator is adequate without being in any way outstanding. Its position on the inner harbour is probably its best feature and there is minimal traffic noise. The furniture is somewhat "dated" and would benefit from a refit. I consider $165/night to be too high for what was provided.

Senator Motor Inn is a fine motel in the town Gisborne. The welcome was very nice. The room we had was on the groundfloor and there was a veranda to sit with chairs and a table. The bathroom was fine and clean. We stayed here only one night but is was for us a perfect stay.

We found the Senator Motor Inn to be clean, and in a good location. Rooms were furnished to a high standard, and the unit overlooks the marina adjacent to the port.

Price was competitive, and we would stay there again.

While nightlife in Gisborne on a Tuesday was almost nonexistent, the beach and hill scenery was perfect for an evening jog, and the Senator was a brilliant place to base ourselves. Modern, clean, well-equipped, spacious, friendly staff, harbour views, off-street parking, and a reasonable price. As restaurants seemed to require getting in before 8, we ended up eating takeaway on the balcony, and the kitchenette had everything we needed to serve up a feast.

I would recommend the Senator Motor Inn. Room overlooking river and harbour was a delight, so relaxing after a long journey. Staff were so helpful and met all our requirements. If you are looking for a place to enjoy then I would suggest you make a booking at the Senator Motor Inn.

Excellent rating.

The facilities are very good and modern. Excellent layout and space. The location is probably the best in Gisborne overlooking the marina with lots of activity to keep you occupied. The owners provide an excellent service and make the effort to ensure your stay is memorable.
