“Motel style accommodation - good for overnight stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Were meant to stay two nights here however reduced to one upon check in - as previous reviews have stated, this hotel mainly caters for tour groups. Rooms were ok, bathroom could have been cleaner. Short walk into the main part of Rotorua where restaurants are located. Rotorua itself wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be - we did everything we wanted (Zorb, Thermal park) in a day.

“decent place if you get a good rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

person found this review helpful

when i stayed here the place was filled with tour groups spending one night in rotorua, so busloads of people would overrun the place and checkout the next day.
the restaurant food was good. location is convenient to walks in town and along the thermal lakefront.
the room was fine but had dim lighting.
the indoor hotel pool was tiny and filled, but you can reseres a private sauna for 30 minutes.

“A bit of a sad looking place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

What a shame that a little more time and money can't be spent doing up this place as the 2 bedroom suite we had was spacious but just didn't feel that clean. Not a place I felt I wanted to spend a lot time at and the pool area was tired looking. Lovely view and a fantastic breakfast and for what we paid was a great deal but not somewhere I'd want to spend more that a couple of nights at. Get rid of those disgusting yellow nets/curtains in the hallways they look dirty.

“Filthy!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The room that we checked into was an absolute disgrace in terms of cleanliness, maintenance and quality of bedding.

- huge liquid mess on the back of the door which had not been cleaned up (I don't want to even think about what this substance was)
- filthy shabby bathroom with mouldy shower curtain and hair in bath/basin/toilet/floor
- pillowcase with big black stains
- filthy ancient pillows
- hair in the sheets
- blanket under bedspread had huge holes

I alerted reception to the problems and was moved to a room that was in better condition but even the common areas of this hotel are grimy and depressing. Would not recommend to anyone.

Not good enough Sudima - pick up your act.
