Extremely disappointed with room

The unit we had was dark and stuck down a narrow alleyway at the back of the complex, against a boundary wall, with very little natural light. Basically felt like we were in a basement! I don't know what the other rooms were like, but room 6 was horrible. Lucky were really only there for a bed for the night!

THOMAS and JEAN on tour

Looks good from outside and in promotional literature but when you walk inside décor very poor no bedside lockers bad smell carpets need changing . Overall it needs a complete refurbishing . No heating, radiators filthy , rusty and not working . Rooms 1 2 3 and 4 face onto Fenton Street the busiest road in Rotorua non stop traffic . We were in Room 2 . WiFi virtually non existent and no SKY TV as advertised on sign outside . Check this Motel out before you continue to offer it to your customers . On checking out after 2 day stay receptionist never even asked how was our stay !

Motel is a bit tired and needs sprucing up. We were booked at another motel but they were overbooked and we were moved to this place. I paid more for the other place and I suspect hat this motel was a lot cheaper than what I paid for
