Okay, not great

The lobby looks nice, as does the Atrium dining room. The whole place is in bad need of a facelift. No bellman to assist with luggage, no concierge, which most 4 stars have. The room was capacious, but the furniture and beds were dingy and banged up; there are no thermostats, so be prepared to open the windows; the refrigerator was broken, the bathroom was clean but definitely not four star, old and scarred up. Lobby restrooms had leaky toilets and, while clean, were not 4 star. Staff were helpful and friendly, food was ok. Overall, it has the dim, seedy look of a place on the way down. Good location, near downtown Rotorua and activities. Don't miss all the geothermal places.

Tired hotel in need of make-over,

Tired hotel in need of make-over, made worse by atrocious staff conduct. We were there for our wedding anniversary and were having a nice lie-in when at 9am there were two knocks on the door followed by the door opening. I made a hasty dash to the door to prevent the male room service employee from entering the room. "What time is checkout?" 11am. Go figure. Back to bed then 10 minutes later another knock on the door from a different cleaner trying to enter the room. Lucky I had the security latch on this time. Unbelieveable! Complained to reception who were apologetic, but no apology from management to date.

Very pleasant stay, the room overlooked

Very pleasant stay, the room overlooked the racecourse and was within 20 mins walking distance of the town and Polynesian spa. There was no safe in the room, but these were provided at Reception with a personal key. Staff very pleasant.

Service was good. The accomodation

Service was good. The accomodation was very tired and access through the back door was a little ordinary, but other than that all was ok.

The Hotel looked old and not fully

The Hotel looked old and not fully refurbished. No Air Conditioning in the room (just a fan). Food in the restaurant was quite bad, I would try to avoid it next time.

We were very happy with the room

We were very happy with the room - it was very spacious and enjoyed the spa bath. Also enjoyed the heat pump as it was a very wet & cold weekend! It was a pity the treadmill in the gym was broken as I was looking forward to making use of it.
