Visit our Rotorua travel guideRoom was nice and big. Shelves under bathroom sink need a thorough clean and behind the radiator was quite dusty (I’m asthmatic) but other than that the room was great. The water gets really really hot in the shower but I imagine that the water in the hot springs heats the showers so just something to be aware of especially if you have a baby or young child with you.
The hot pool was just lovely and the room was very clean and tidy with some lovely curtains, linen and blankets. Unfortunately there are quite a few areas of disrepear in the room which could do with some fixing. Also perhpas looking into ensuring emergency meeting area informaiton is available in the room.
Wouldn’t stay there again because of the long term residents on the property which made our group feel unsafe. Wifi was advertised but it didn’t reach our area which was a problem for international travelers. Front desk were accommodating by giving us credit to top up data on the one NZ phone we had which was great. Would be a great cheap place to stay for 10+ people if it was a safer area.
We were late to check in and staff was very accommodative. Much appreciated. Price for the stay was cheap and we know it comes with the tag. We got a bigger house instead of two rooms we actually booked. The house was untidy, had cockroaches. There was no hot water in the night from the point we checked in and came next morning. Heaters did not work, so gave us coupe of portable heaters. Overall, we were disappointed.
Worst unexpected experience!!! The place was not clean at all, rubbish wasn’t cleared from the room, dirty bedspread, mouldy cupboard with cockroaches roaming, toilets closet really dirty with poo. I had to find another motel to stay as we couldn’t stand the uncleanliness. The lady at the site mentioned about refunding the amount which we haven’t received even after a week nor any further communication from their side.
