This was one of the best hotel experiences I ever had. The lady at the front desk was extremely pleasant. The fresh milk bottle was very nice touch. The room was extremely clean with attention to all the small details. The area is very quiet and walkable. I would totally stay there again if I end up planning another trip in the future with highly recommended to my fellow travelers.

The room at the Senator Motor Inn was just what we needed after many days of travelling. We walked in and all you could see was the river and the marina. It was beautiful. The room was spotless and the staff were so pleasant.

The Senator is a nice hotel on the Waterfront in Gisborne. It is walkable to the central business district. We enjoyed our stay there, and found the people who own it to be very hospitable and willing to assist.

6/10 Good

Bathroom looked like it had been recently refurbished other fixtures fittings and furniture worn, wallpaper in need of sticking down in places very drab and unappealing colours for bedspreads. Bedding clean comfy bed. Can't understand why a one bedroom apartment for 2 people came with 2 single beds in the living room wasn't comfortable sitting watching TV also why 3 cups etc when the unit could sleep 4
