Okay experience, no big complaints but nothing stood out. We had a nice view which included the geyser at night. The room came across slightly dirty due to stains on the carpet and marks on the wall. Parking was free and easy. This came across as a better family hotel experience than couple getaway.

Good room in a big hotel which includes pool and guest laundry. Room was sizeable with a balcony with outlook on a Māori village. Bit too far to walk to Eat Street but clean, quiet. Recommend if you have a car to get around.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We liked the hotel's location, convenience of parking and friendly front desk staff. My family and I have been regularly staying in the hotel ever since it was Holiday Inn till now Rydges. Our most recent stay has been marked with few unpleasant things. To start off, we stayed in two Deluxe double rooms, both the bathrooms had cleanliness issues: hair in bath and vanities, dirty toilet bowl, hand soap and other amenities containers not clean. I understand we are adhering to an environmental friendly approach, however it would be nice to have a note for where to get toothbrush etc. Overall the bathroom looked downgraded compared to the rest of the room. The most put off aspect was receiving a morning at 8:30 in our room 807 when we did not request, which woke us up and mess with our rest. To top up housekeeping knocked on our other room asking about our check out time at 10:15am when the hotel policy says clearly 11am check out. It shows a lack of proper training of staff. The breakfast was not at all reflecting the price. Lack of variety and quality. Bread station was messy and uncleaned for about 30 mins. Staff would not top up food items. No condiments or sauces (like Holiday Inn used to provide), coffee was horribly bitter. Serveware were dirty, staff would not put them away. Overall the value for money is not at all good. Being one of the best hotels in Rotorua, like it used to be with Holiday Inn, we would expect better service and quality, however it’s disappointing.
