The room and beds had stains, the whole place really needs an update, fresh paint, some actual decor. Staff was super nice, very friendly and helpful. Something was off overall but couldn't figure out what

It was lovely here, felt like a short stay for us. The ovens did not work in every rooms us and family members had and when they did come to turn my one on I could smell something burning an it was because they left the top stove on. Any of my kids could have touched that stove and to make it worst I could not see any smoke alarms, everyone needs these for emergency.

The best part of this property is the location. We were lucky to have a unit on the lake side so had a beautiful view. The property is very tired, but was really warm and was pretty well equipped with aircon (needed to cool it down as thermal heating a bit much), decent TV, good linen and adequate kitchen equipment. Staff were pretty helpful. One thing I didn’t notice till the day we arrived is that checkin ends at 8, we didn’t make it in time but they were still able to accommodate us. Parking is first come first served (and very narrow) but we were always able to park even on holiday weekend. There is no lift or ramp so accessibility may be an issue for second or third floor rooms.

Enjoyed our stay, unit was clean and appeared to be updated throughout. Didn't get time to use the pools or spa even though looking at the spa was a temptation. I liked that even though we were close to shops, restaurants and event centre the motel was in a quieter area without traffic noises.

Firstly the associate who checked us in was courteous and professional. He was able to arrange for an early check in which we really appreciated. However we could not over look the dirty room,outdoor areas and the pools. As we had chosen this hotel to experience the thermal pool, we just couldn't use it as it was not clean. I would like to caution other guests that the photos are not accurate and if you want to experience thermal pools you may want to consider going elsewhere. In closing the motel is in a great location and easy walking distance to restaurants and attractions in Rotorua.

The staff were lovely and upgraded our room. The motel is obviously undergoing maintenance which is needed. But we enjoyed the location (walking distance to the lake front and eat street) and the spacious 2 bedroom unit with plenty of space to store bikes.

WE arrived at 8 pm and the pool, hot tubs and washing machine all closed at 9 pm. The washing machine did not spin our laundry so we ended up having to go to a laundromat. The room was fairly clean but the area near the laundry was not and the hot tubs did not look very clean. There was a guest drying rack and I would not have put cleans clothes there ti dry. There was scaffolding up so it looks like they may be making some improvements.

A somewhat old property but comfortable and met our needs. Staff very helpful. Good location. We weren't worried about the usual Rotorua smell as we expected that and it cant be avoided in any case. Good value.

Property itself is a good option, was great value for money on Expedia price. It has good pool options (outdoor heated pool, spa and indoor mineral pool), a tad tired but nothing major Staff attitude was terrible when I called two days later to enquire about toys my little one left on the bed, was told it went in the rubbish due to not being high value items, when I said that was not professional as I’ve stayed in many hotels and they’ve always kept belongings he said “if you lose things often I would say you’re not professional” Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry with any customer service and I’ve hardly ever left a negative review in my life but this was just plain rude I would say pay a little more money and go to a place that actually knows how to run an accommodation business.. would never stay there again

All windows were facing street level corridor, so my privacy was very limited. I also felt some security risk. The equipment was also aged.
