We booked a superior queen room, but got a poor quality room with the only superior part being the new carpet. With both the restaurant and pools out of action and the smell from rotorua in the rooms, it was not a comfortable stay. The only positive I could give was the staff at reception being helpful with taking our luggage up the stairs to the first floor for us.

Property is under renovation, and they are trying hard to make it better. However new carpet etc can only do so much on a old rundown motel complex. Its value for money, but not perfect.

The location is great. Convenient to Rotorua dining, shopping and activities. However, the property is horrible. The facility is poorly maintained and the renovations being done are low-grade craftsmanship. For example, the paint has dried drips throughout the trimwork. The walls are paper thin, the shower is way too small and the water pressure and temperature regulation is horrible. The property should be razed and rebuilt.

Two night stay

The room was very comfy, the fire alarm did go off three times during our two night stay between 11pm and 7am. The recpetionist was very nice and was greatful we were understanding, a complimentary breakfast would have been nice for the inconvenience, but aside from that beautiful cozy room. The pools were not in use due to maintenance which was a shame, I can imagine when they are they are enjoyable.

Only redeeming factor of this place was the staff, the building and associated areas of this facility need to be ripped down.

As some of the reviews say is in under renovation, luckily our room was one of the renovated ones. It was clean and spacious. The only thing was the the outside of the Motel and the common areas were ran down.
