Nice place to stay. Very clean room and in a pretty convenient location. Restaurants are within walking distance, and parking was convenient and off-street. Overall a good place to stay in Rotorua.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. The hotel was comfy and the pool was a great relief after the day sightseeing. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a family room too. Perfect spot to explore Rotorua.
