Room was terrible. Water damage all through bathroom woodwork. No ceiling fans or air-conditioning upstairs and the only portable fan in the kids room had to be plugged in behind the bed so couldnt get both kids! Springs poking you through the couch, furniture dirty and worn.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is advertised as a Hotel, but it clearly was originally a Motel that looked like it had been converted from 'emergency housing' or a 'men's lodge' into tourist accomodation. The rooms were spartan, neglected, the paint was chipped in places, it had the worlds smallest TV in the lounge area with a lone couch (no side tables) and had the vibe of a student flat. In the 'kitchenette' - what once had been a kitchenette had been uninstalled and a new bench top put in, but the extractor fan remained . The bed seemed new and was comfortable, but the whole room shook every few minutes and there was loud banging from a construction site next door installing piling. Would definitely NOT recommend to stay here.

The pool gate was locked, and the room was not very clean. We requested fresh towels after the first night, but nothing was done until 6:00 pm, and only after I followed up with reception again. Overall, it was not a good experience.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room and grounds were not in the greatest condition- more old and outdated than anything else. The bathroom door did not shut. The room was really big and the bed was comfortable. There was also plenty of parking in the front and out back. This is a fine place to stay if you just plan on sleeping there- it definitely isn’t luxury.

An older type motel. It is not a "hotel" - there is no restaurant. It's rather shabby but you get what you pay for. Our unit was clean. The motel manager is very friendly and helpful. He kindly moved us to another room when we discovered that we had been allocated a unit adjacent to the extremely busy main road. It is worth noting that if you book a Twin Studio, they are all located on the noisy side of the motel. There is a pool, which appeared to be in good condition and was being used. On the whole, reasonably good value for money.

I travel often for work and like to support different businesses however I do not recommend Lake Rotorua my experience was terrible. I had booked in for two nights. I overlooked the first terrible event of being checked into a room that wasn’t clean, it looked like someone was still staying in there. Empty pizza boxes, unmade bed, dirty towels in the bathroom. They said there was a miscommunication, When I was given my new room there were holes in the bathroom, and a strand of long black hair in the fridge. The next morning I had bought my pre-made breakfast with me and there was no cutlery but of course this was before 9am and no one I could ask. I then was unaware that you had to request housekeeping so I came back later that night to no fresh linen. The unmade bed was annoying but ok. By then I couldn’t be bothered trying to find another accommodation as it was already 7pm. Just to add to this the two lights kept flickering needing a lightbulb and The TV crapped out to finish the night. An unpleasant experience and I do not recommend.
