Pros +
- Nothing. Need a refund
- Relaxed atmosphere. Close to town. The staff member, Vishu, was helpful and nice to us
- Location was good - we were able to walk into town
Cons -
- We were told that hot tub is included. Upon check in we were asked to pay extra for hot water in the empty tub. Both windows and Blinds were broken and dangling, bugs in the kitchen. Holes in the wall on kitchen counter was covered with printer paper.
- Photos are not what you get.. Pools were dirty
- Rooms were very 'tired' and in desperate need of refurbishment. I had been there approx 10 years ago and it seems nothing has changed. The room was hot and without air conditioning. We only had 2 fans, one we had to clean as it was full of dust. Water for shower was cold, extra bedding if it got cold were duvet inners, without covers. The fridge was leaking a little and we were not left with milk. Dining room chair was broken and a few knobs for kitchen cupboards were missing

Centrally located. Its a good stay if you are out all day and just need a space to sleep and rest - Our 3yr old loved the pool and was out there every morning and every night. Staff was accommodating
Won’t be back
Very run down Linen was dirty Bed was as old as the hills with bed springs sticking in your back very uncomfortable sleep if maintenance was kept up it could be a nice place to stay
Close to town
The amount of cockroaches was insane and the bathroom smelt of bleach
Good location , 200m from town centre .A similar distance to Kuiau Park , which has numerous thermal pools and ponds .Good , friendly owner and staff who were all very helpful and obliging.
The property and rooms are dated , but don’t be deceived, they are clean and tidy , well kept .
The location was perfect for my trip. It’s an easy to walk to many cafes, restaurants and the lake front.
The unit I stayed in badly needs some *serious* maintenance, especially the bathroom.
Was spacious
Beds were uncomfortable, and the "outdoor area" was just a set of plastic chairs and table sitting on the lawn
Location
Really run down looked like it has been used for emergency housing. Needs an upgrade for the price good location. Water took 10 mins to warm upStaff are member was polite.
Location
Road noise , shower pressure, felt grubby, in need of renovation
Not much! The motel was only a short walk from the town centre, and close to amenities.
The motel didn't feel terribly safe. The property was old and poorly maintained. The windows were single-glazed and did nothing to keep out the noise - and there was significant traffic noise. The blind in our room was broken and couldn't be raised or lowered. There were hardly any electrical sockets in the room - we had to unplug the microwave to get somewhere to charge our phones. The carpets were thin and hard - more like carpet found in an office building. The kitchen was poorly stocked. There are plenty of motels and hotels in Rotorua, and I've stayed in much better on previous trips.
Only the location was handy to everything
Everything the oversized outside bathtub leaked waterwater marks from the shower tapsHoles in the bathroom and main room by the tabletable felt like it had not been wiped down it was stickymarks on the towelsLaundry facilities disgustingour son found a bong in the cupboardhis table still had food stuck to itroom was hot no aircoditioning we booked 5 rooms all rooms had something wrong with it it's outdatedthen I found out it was an emergency housing hotellocal kids swimming in the pool and using the thermal pool coming and going as they pleased
The location was great, the staff friendly & helpful. The outside hot tub was good fun too! So easy with a kitchenette. Pillows are comfortable. Indoor thermal pools onsite but we didnt get a chance to use them.
Probably cant be changed but the water pressure in shower was poor but then the water pressure in hot tub was higher... The mattress is getting on a bit - you get up and the springs chase you out of bed!! Shame there isnt a seating area apart from dining set inside & out.
Location, staff were friendly, bed was comfortable.
Walls, windows, bit run down. Couple of lights didnt work.
Welcoming and friendly staff. Close to city centre.
Out of date, but stay able. Water pressure in shower was very weak. Noisy at night with thin windows.
Don’t be fooled by first impressions, the property is dated and old fashioned , but, clean . The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is approx 200 m from the town and approximately the same distance to Kuirau park which has a number of thermal pools .
Nothing that affected our stay .
Big and heaps of room
No aircon and microwave, but still good.
Location is near to everyyhing
That hotel is good if you will stay there on winter time. But not on summer its to hot no aircon the electric fan is not helping to ease durring summer. The room is alright not dirty but not clean too. They should update the photo on the advertise so the guest will not expext the same as on the pjoto. But the staff is good very helpfull. Just need some improvement on the property.
Great location
Not very quiet. Internet was terrible
