The hotel is situated in the heart of Rotorua, across from Government Gardens, making it a fabulous location for exploring the city. The rooms, although spacious, felt like they were last updated in the 1970s. The service was satisfactory, with engaging and humorous staff members. While the dining was inconsistent, ranging from poor to satisfactory, the facilities offered a relaxing experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, but there was a sense that the place cared more about profits than customer satisfaction. The service was top-notch, with accommodating and enthusiastic staff going the extra mile. The location was amazing, right across from the Government Gardens, although the surroundings out the back were less appealing. The dining experience was fantastic, hinting at promising changes in the future.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were initially noisy, but the staff was quick to address the issue and my stay was fabulous after the room change. The room felt a bit narrow, but the view to the courtyard below was lovely. The genuine kauri wardrobes added a nice touch to the room.

I was excited to stay at this hotel, but unfortunately, the experience had its ups and downs. The rooms were very comfortable and cozy, just what I wanted. On the downside, cleanliness was an issue with leftover rubbish from previous guests and some wear and tear visible. The service was a mixed bag, ranging from friendly and helpful to some waiting and grumpy attitudes. The location was quite good, within walking distance to various restaurants and attractions. The dining experience had its moments, with some fantastic options but also some disappointments. Overall, it was an okay stay with some room for improvement.
