Clean and Convenient

Just outside downtown Rotorua, Bella Vista was a convenient starting point for travel to area attractions. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was comfortable, but the furnishings were dated. It was very clean, but the sulphur smells of nearby pools of hot springs and vented steam got to us after a while.

The motel is in an older area and is showing it's age in some areas. Our room door was difficult to open and a few of the interior fixtures were pretty old and low end. It's on a busy road and can be noisy when traffic is heavy.

Comfortable

Motel was easy to find with parking. Checkin was easy and quick. Room was very clean but not updated, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Personally as long as it's clean I am good, and it was. The only thing less than comfortable was how quick we ran out of hot water in the shower. My husband and I couldn't shower back to back without the second person quickly running out of hot water - even trying to take quick ones.

We ended up staying here last minute due to a bad experience at the Marsden Hotel down the road. It was a pleasant stay. The rooms are a bit small if you have a few suitcases, and the WiFi isn't great, but it has all the facilities for a one-night stop off, and I have no major complaints. Would stay here again for the price we paid.
