The hotel is right at the lake with beautiful views. The town centre is a short stroll away and very convenient. Stay here if u are looking for convenience, comfort and value for... More

This hotel is a pleasant place to stay in Rotorua being close to the lakefront and city. Staff are always pleasant and obliging and this time was no exception. There were 3 tour buses there at the time and even though staff were busy they still made time to attend to us.

Booked on line for a superior, one king bed, lake view. Arrived late (9pm) due to fog in Christchurch, staff had kept our room, and were very helpful with check in. Would have liked a slightly bigger room, but to be fair, I have stayed in smaller. Room was clean, décor was fine, and everything worked. Had room service for... More

Last minute booking so more expensive than an advance booking which was annoying. However, good location and parking and a cut above most Rotorua accomodation; friendly staff and good gym/spa/thermal pool complex. Quiet and a good night's sleep. Popular with tour groups.

Friendly and helpful staff and check-in/out was stress free. The room and bed extremely comfortable. Perfect location close to everything. Only downside is lack of parking. You can end up parking streets away. We will stay again.

Close to everything. Good service. Pool area a bit small. Rooms have good view and confortable. Restaurant and bar area good. Food pricing about average. Although it was nice to eat at the very good local restaurants and support them.

Good hotel in good location right by lake and restaurants with plenty of parking. Enjoyed the spa and swimming pool. The reason I scored the hotel average was that the breakfast was poor. We paid $30 each for a cooked breakfast. The chef did cook a poached egg for me which was good, but the bacon was tough and dry;... More

Dear Sharon W, I do apologise for your breakfast experience. I am concerned that you did not get fresh fruit on the buffet for your breakfast, as our expectation is a minimum of 3 cut fruit platters on the buffet at any one time, and a full selection of stewed and preserved fruits - as well as two yoghurt and...
