8/10 Very good

Clean, comfortable, nice location, a little tired

Decent sized room with a comfortable king size bed, one easy chair, one office type swivel chair and a couple of dining chairs and a small table. Our second floor room looked out onto Lake Rotoiti - very nice view (Lake Rotorua is in the opposite direction and can't be seen from the hotel). Strange folding wooden shutters between the room and en suite bathroom (with separate shower cubicle) - would let in natural light I suppose? Fridge, desk, small wardrobe containing iron and board. Some of the fittings are a bit worn and tarnished, giving the room a well used feel - but it was clean and everything worked. Friendly staff. Parking on site. No lift - but the receptionist offered to help carry luggage. Good breakfast available: fruit, cereal, yoghurt cheese, cold meats, croissants juice, plus scrambled eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, hash browns and bacon (potato wedges one morning). Toast, butter and spreads. Only disappointment was the water in the flask for tea wasn't hot - we had tea in our room. At times the breakfast area had food dropped by guests on the chairs and carpet. We dined in the restaurant one evening - nice meal. The hotel is an easy 20-30 minute drive to the centre of Rotorua (you definitely need your own transport) but only 5 minutes from Okere and Tutela falls. We had a comfortable stay and the buffet breakfast was a treat.

Hotel is quite tired, staff friendly, phone in room was not working correctly. On checkout at 7.00am no one on Reception able to use computer to charge for Room service the night before. Rooms very well appointed and comfortable just showing their age, staff friendliness made up for a lot of the short comings.

The property is in a nice spot and the staff are nice, but it is a little dated. Also, the only accessible outlet by the desk was far from the desk and under the aircon, which was dripping over the outlet. I ended up using an extension cord to reach the outlet by the bed across the room, but it was a stretch.

Poor 3night stay

It started with a dirty carpet at reception, for a supposedly ( wedding and conference centre) there was cobwebs around the windows, hallways and stairs were very tired. Window frames and wooden blinds were stained and scorched with the sun. Also in the rooms our sink and toilet was stained. Very limited staff, had to ring a bell in the bar if you wanted a drink, never saw anyone at reception over our three night stay other than check in/out. Overall just very untidy around the building, I’m never one to complain but I would seriously never stay there again and wouldn’t wish anyone else to do so either ( you have been warned).

Nice location, 15 minutes away from down town Rotorua. View front of the lake, friendly staff. It requires some upgrades, but room was very comfy and clean.

Rooms are really old. Bathroom/toilet have a huge opening which can be seen from the bedroom/room. I would not recommend this place to anyone, picture on the websites are highly misleading.

They say they staff the front desk until 10:30pm, but they don’t. They never answered the phone even once when we called during the time the desk was supposed to be staffed. Forget it if there is something wrong with your room - ours was missing a remote for the HVAC, and the other room we booked the water came out of both taps HOT HOT HOT. There was no help to be found. It was like accidentally stumbling into a ghost hotel with no staff. Uber does not want to come there, because it’s a 20-25 minute drive to get there. So we wound up waiting 30 minutes for an Uber the first time, then we wised up and ordered the Uber at a specific time so that we knew we could get a ride. The pool is not heated. Breakfast was a typical hotel buffet breakfast - which might be the best thing we can say about the place. We wouldn’t stay there, again. The staff we did manage to find and interact with were polite. I felt sorry for them, because every single person who checked out while we were sitting in the lobby had something wrong with their room.

Relaxing stay in Rotorua

The location of the hotel is very beautiful, just by the lake. We got a lake view unit and we enjoyed that in our stay. The hotel also offered kayaking, which we did in the lake and enjoyed.

Wall paint chipped and coming off. What appeared and smelled like mold was around our shower heads and ceiling of the bathroom. No greeting or acknowledgment at the door from staff or help with bags (we were on the second floor and there is no elevator). When we arrived to check in there were no other cars in the parking lot or people to be seen but they told us we had to wait for our room be cleaned.

Not great

The reception desk was not occupied, but friendly staff once we could locate yhem. Rooms were not ready and in need of a deep clean, no milk or soap in our room. Water is undrinkable. The facility is really very tired.
