Property in desperate need of upgrading. Walls are paper thin we can hear whatever everyone else was doing. Random opening where the toilet was into the main bedroom so you could hear what everyone was doing on the toilet. Furniture dated and marked. carpet, kettle and chairs had paint splatters Had to ring for service at check-in and check out. Breakfast was okay, although the beverages was not really at hotel standard and was tepid. Overall, bedding clean and comfy, staff friendly hard to see how this is a 4 star resort.

Clean, comfortable, nice location, a little tired

Decent sized room with a comfortable king size bed, one easy chair, one office type swivel chair and a couple of dining chairs and a small table. Our second floor room looked out onto Lake Rotoiti - very nice view (Lake Rotorua is in the opposite direction and can't be seen from the hotel). Strange folding wooden shutters between the room and en suite bathroom (with separate shower cubicle) - would let in natural light I suppose? Fridge, desk, small wardrobe containing iron and board. Some of the fittings are a bit worn and tarnished, giving the room a well used feel - but it was clean and everything worked. Friendly staff. Parking on site. No lift - but the receptionist offered to help carry luggage. Good breakfast available: fruit, cereal, yoghurt cheese, cold meats, croissants juice, plus scrambled eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, hash browns and bacon (potato wedges one morning). Toast, butter and spreads. Only disappointment was the water in the flask for tea wasn't hot - we had tea in our room. At times the breakfast area had food dropped by guests on the chairs and carpet. We dined in the restaurant one evening - nice meal. The hotel is an easy 20-30 minute drive to the centre of Rotorua (you definitely need your own transport) but only 5 minutes from Okere and Tutela falls. We had a comfortable stay and the buffet breakfast was a treat.

There were many maintenance items needed for our room, which I noted for the Reception staff. However, none of these was attended to until I gave a reminder 24 hours later. The door to the balcony would not lock, hence my unsafe rating. We were unimpressed with the breakfast and dinner, largely on account of the unpleasant "concierge" on duty. The choice of food available was rather limited. We got the impression that we would have fared better had we been members of a non-English speaking tourist coach party.

The room was pretty clean and the bed was comfortable. Sadly that’s the only good part. The whole place seemed neglected and run down. Paint was peeling on the bathroom walls, dead dragonflies in the hallway windowsills. It was probably a lovely property 20 years ago but it has not been maintained. Even the patio furniture by the lake is in need of replacement. We weren’t expecting top luxury, but we didn’t feel it was worth the money we paid.
