Average, a bit noisy and unusable Wifi
Our room was close to the 'entertainment' area, where the pool, mini golf, etc. are located. So it was quite noisy outside of our room, some days until past 9pm. We were normally at our room past 5-6pm. We were quite tired from hikes and this was not ideal for us as we needed quiet to rest and sleep.
Air conditioning was pretty decent.
We weren't able to turn on the washroom lights without triggering the fan which in turn was bringing in the sulphur smell from the outside (common in Rotorua). We ended up not using the lights in the washrooms to prevent that.
The WIFI was pretty much unusable! We told them; nothing they could do about it at the time. So be warned it's very bad.
The room cleanness of the room was average I'd say. Things in the room look pretty old/used.
Overall, very average motel. Nothing special or fancy.
We didn't think this place was worth the money we paid for.

Check-in and staff were nice, room was fine, the bathroom was weird but not gross (had a jet bathtub -hot tub?) in it. I wouldn’t use it, but others may find it fine.
Seemed to be things for kids to do, close to the tree walk.
Good: quiet, full on stuff to make meals, you could park right by room (like a motel).
Not as good: just a bit old.
But it was fine
