Poll: Do you think differently about motels once used for emergency housing?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton motels once used for emergency housing are still grappling with “significant wear and tear, tenant-related damage, and reputational issues”, according to newly released liquidation reports.

The Waikato Times has obtained documents from KPMG, detailing the downfall of Hamilton Accommodation Ltd and its network of 15 properties, including Abbey Motel Hamilton Ltd, Te Rapa Motor Inn Ltd, and Hamilton Motel Ltd.
