Full service hotel away from the tourist center of Rotorua but close to the natural and cultural gems. We loved the pool but hot tubs were closed. Restaurant is pricey but convenient. Room was not sparkling clean fine- must be hard to maintain crisp white porcelain in a sulphur springs location.

Fantastic location at the entrance to the Whakarewarewa thermal village. Our room had a superb view of the hot springs and village. Slight smell of sulphur but you quickly get used to it. Breakfast buffet was great, lots of choice. Wanted to try thermal pool but it was too busy.

we stayed here for two nights. Whilst check-in was quick, we were simply given a piece of paper and told to scan a QR code to find out more about the facilities andquickly ushered on. The hotel itself is a little tired looking, and that comes through in the older model room and bathroom. That being said the bed was extremely comfortable and it was quiet in the room. It is very family friendly (we are a couple) and whilst we could’ve used the pool and hot tub, the many running around kids kind of put us off. The location was good - we went to a local spa on one day and also went to the Māori experience as well. The breakfast seemed to be fresh and tasty, although not much variety over the couple of days that we were there.

Good location, quiet and plenty of rooms available. Deluxe double queen room spacious and renovated. Smart TV with Chromecast super convenient. Cleanliness needing attention. Dusty bathrooms and smelly bathroom curtains. Did not feel welcome by check in staff, no smile at all. Request have been arranged. Overall still one of the best in Rotorua.

The bar snack menu finished a 5:30 pm with the exception of pizza which was not available the evening of our stay. As we did not want a full buffet meal we had no choice but to go into the city. I thought that for a significant chain hotel to have no room service or bar snack options was extremely poor and will not stay with them again.

For the price, we were expecting a bit more. We switched rooms because the first room was extremely dated and bathroom was dirty. It may have been black mold, but we were told that it was sulphur. 2nd room was fine. Buffet was not great and expensive for what it was. Location was next to sulphur springs, so it was stinky. Not right downtown, so we had to drive everywhere.

Room was well equipped and clean, slightly on the worn side and outdated. Got the view we paid for of the steaming geysers however was expecting a more modern room with newer amenities eg. glass shower instead of bath shower with curtain. Buffet breakfast was the highlight, everything was incredible and staff were lovely.
