My sons and I had a great stay. The room was so comfortable, clean and quiet. Great place for kids. My sons had a bball tournament so the pool and spas were great for their recovery in between games and at the end of the days. The staff were friendly and welcoming and food was great

The room isn't up to the usual Rydges standard. Air con was too loud so became unusable. Stains all over the carpet, toilet wouldn't flush properly. Comfy beds though and lovely breakfast

The bed sheets were not changed when room service was done. Had stains on them
Great location with mant local attractions and restaurants close by. The hotel was very nice eith many anenities. The front desk staff were very helpful with recommendations for Maori cultural options and other excursions.
The staff were friendly and the parking was free. Those were the best parts of our stay. The room was more outdated and dingy than I was expecting. I think some of the rooms here have been updated and others have not. Ours was definitely not. We were in a superior room with multiple beds. I would not recommend selecting this room. I could have dealt With it being outdated but it felt musty. Anytime we turned on the AC the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. I do understand Rotorua has a smell in general but in the room with the AC on it was unbearable. I had a headache and my eyes were burning. My husband was coughing. We did notify staff and they said some rooms have a worse smell than others. They offered to change our rooms for a fee, which I guess is a good aspect. I will probably never stay in Rotorua again but if you do I would recommend a different room at this hotel or just a different hotel.
The hotel was easy to find, and the staff were very friendly. Checking in and out were hassle free. Our room had everything we needed and the toiletries were very nice. We also enjoyed our time in the pool. The dinner buffet had a good range as did the breakfast.
Checking in and out was simple and quick with friendly, courteous staff. The pool was smaller than expected so we left that to families with smaller kids. Room was nice and cool which was appreciated as it was a hot day when we checked in.
