What Sarah handles

Everything a motel guest needs
after hours — resolved instantly

From late arrivals to noise complaints, Sarah handles the most common after-hours calls a motel gets, without pulling a manager out of bed for every one.

Late Arrival & Check-In

Confirms the booking, assigns the room, and talks the guest through after-hours check-in — no one needs to wait up at reception.

Room Access & Door Codes

Reads keypad codes clearly, twice, or sends them straight to the guest's phone by SMS — whichever they prefer.

Parking & Noise Enquiries

Answers where to park, points out quiet hours, and logs noise complaints for the morning team — or escalates if it's getting out of hand.

Heat Pump & Heating

Step-by-step operating instructions and fault-finding, tailored to the unit in each room.

WiFi Details

Sends the network name and password straight to the guest's mobile. No spelling it out, no repeating.

TV & Streaming

Input switching, streaming app help, and remote troubleshooting matched to the exact TV in each room.

Kitchenette Appliances

Microwave, cooktop, and fridge/freezer guidance for self-contained units — brand-specific where you've set it up.

Emergency Triage

Two-tier system: fire and medical go straight to 111. Security, gas, or flooding issues escalate your on-call team for human assessment.

01

Escalates if needed

Unresolved issues alert your on-call team. Response times logged automatically via one-tap link.

Proven platform

Built and tested on 183 real NZ properties

Sarah's core platform — call handling, property matching, SMS delivery, and on-call escalation — is built and in final testing across 183 holiday properties with a local holiday home property manager in Hanmer Springs. The motel version runs on that same proven engine, reconfigured around how motels actually operate: one location, many rooms, and guests who show up at the door rather than letting themselves in.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes — that's the core use case for motels. Sarah confirms the booking, assigns the room, and gives (or texts) the door code, so a guest arriving at midnight doesn't need anyone physically there to let them in.

Sarah re-sends the room's access code by SMS or reads it out over the phone, the same way she would for a first-time check-in. If it's a genuine lock malfunction rather than a forgotten code, she escalates straight to your on-call contact.

She works from the booking and room information you give her during setup. If you connect a property management system, that information stays current automatically — otherwise it's as current as your last update.

She logs the complaint and the room it concerns for your morning team, and asks the guest to try quiet hours first. If it sounds urgent or ongoing, she escalates to your on-call contact immediately rather than waiting until morning.

Same underlying platform, reconfigured around how motels work — one location with multiple rooms and guests who typically arrive at a front door rather than letting themselves into a standalone property. Setup and features are tailored accordingly.

Yes. Sarah is designed to resolve most calls herself, but she's never a dead end. Any guest who asks to speak to someone, or whose issue she can't resolve, gets an immediate escalation SMS to your on-call team. For genuine emergencies — fire, medical — she directs guests to call 111 first, then alerts your team at the same time.
