A 20 minutes à pied du centre. Motel vieillissant. Personnel sympathique. C’est pas cher mais quand même les salles de bain Sont à revoir. Pratiquement pas possible de se faire à manger. Vaisselle à faire dans le lavabo de la salle de bain.

Great to have the private pool but the pool area was devoid of plants and could have used a good sweep. Didn’t look anything like the very pretty promo pics. Bathroom handbasin badly cracked, place just looked very “unloved” Beds clean and comfy enough though

The 1 bdrm studio with spa was perfect for me and my partner. Next time I think I'd choose something with cooking facilities though. I liked how every place we needed to go was a 3-4 min drive away so was convenient. Workers were very friendly, helpful and always respected our privacy. Enjoyed relaxing in hot tub. Overall enjoyed my stay. One thing I didnt like was having a really small bin for rubbish and no tub for dirty dishes so they kind of sat all over the bench.

The best thing about our stay was the bed and bedding. We had a great sleep. Sadly tho toilet was dirty. Not much in the way of facilities. Spa didn't work. I think it's priced too high for such a basic motel. Manager was pleasant.

Swift check-in process and friendly staff. The room itself was spacious and clean and the beds were comfy! The hot tub was a nice feature and extremely welcome with the evenings getting a bit cooler! Parking space right in front of the room was super convenient. The lights in the room were quite harsh on the eye, especially the wall fitted ones which actually seemed more like outdoor lights. But overall a decent motel and a better standard than most!

We were really disappointed with the room we had. It was an upstairs family apartment with a spa bath, which was one of the reasons we booked it. We could not use the spa bath because it was extremely dirty and unhygienic, with dirty marks, and the water jets needed a good clean, as well as the taps which had dirty rings on their bases. Other than this, the apartment was spacious and the location was excellent.

Housekeeping was pretty poor, Stayed 4 nights for work, No clean towels, No fresh Linen, No rubbish removal and tea/coffee etc was not topped up, pretty poor considering it was advertised 'Housekeeping' on the website. Had to go to Kmart to purchase towels to use and dispose of rubbish at the worksite we were working on, After Working in Wellington where you get home from work and you have fresh linen, Towels etc it was a huge let down, I guess it is a Rotorua thing.

A nice little room that was clean and comfortable. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. The parking was easy and the drive into Rotorua was also straightforward. Only things were the lack of air con and the fact that there were no towels in my room. I had the fan on all night and the window open, but it was too hot. I had camping towels with me, but every other motel I stayed in provided towels.
