The resort is a bit run down. The floors squeak when you walk but the worse thing was the bartender. He was making "jokes" about gullible Americans. He knew we were from America and the jokes weren't funny. We found him to be very rude. Otherwise, the staff we encountered were okay.

The hotel is old and dated. The carpet was torn in multiple places. The shower curtain was tiny and barely made it to half the shower tub and was stained. Once we complained, they changed it. The bed was hard

Despite the age of the facility Accor Wairakei Resort is still one of my favourite hotels in NZ. Always a pleasant greeting from professional staff. Location is perfect for travelling as is 12 minutes drive north of Taupō so you are ahead of other traffic first thing in the morning. BP is across the road for fuel etc.

While the staff was great the property is tired. The carpet in our room was thread bare and ripped. The A/C in one of our rooms was non functional and the water shut down for a period of a few hours one afternoon.
