    Housekeeping was a bit slack. Dishes outside room doors for a day and sheets piled in the hallway instead of being removed immediately.

    The king suite was as big as an apartment but was only basically equipped. Breakfast was a reasonable buffet.

    A wait at check in for room to be serviced . Tried to phone reception re the spa bath that did not go-no response, pillows uncomfortable, basic TV channels or log into your own apps.

    Close to all amenities. Balcony, air con, semi-blackout curtains, gym , quiet when closed up..spacious rooms-too big , water pressure in shower was the best. A bubble bath in th huge bath (spa did not go) kettle& coffee

    Although room was big and had almost every thing (tv, ac, fridge etc) some of the things were bit outdated. Like bedside lights had no covers, chairs seats were bit worn, overall room was missing that flashy look.

    Hotel location was good, near to everything. Hotel had lot of parking. Our room was big and the view from balcony was great.

    Room was actually too big, surprisingly.

    Location was a little too far outside the main town. Rotorua is generally a little smelly.

    Not much in the kitchenette. Only had mugs and 2 teaspoons. No dish washing liquid or plates but there is a restaurant. Rust on the faucets in bathroom but still tidy and clean. Would be helpful to be given essential information at check in like WiFi password location or what stores are conveniently nearby etc.

    Location was ideal and parking is great! Nice beds, good size room for our family and venue looks decent overall. Good to have air-conditioning and appreciate the access to our room.

    The staff should be more welcoming and attempt more conversation. The TV remote was difficult to use as the markings were rubbing off and no longer visible.

    The location was close to a lot of well known tourist destinations and easy to get around. The level of comfort was good along with the beds and facilities provided. The hotel was clean and well presented to guests

    Breakfast was a bit hit and miss, we went for breakfast at 8am each day and even though it was in the middle of the time range for breakfast, there was food that were not available , used up for the day. The plates were cold to put your warm food on. And the pastries by the last day of our stay had run out and the hotel didnt have any. We were very disappointed with breakfast.

    Nice position, Nice rooms.
