Liked: Cleanliness, amenities

The hotel is a good 15 - 20 mins drive from Rotorua, the building is in desperate need of repair, everything is literally falling apart, the staff is okay but overwhelmed by the quantity of tourist. Otherwise, location quite nice, right on the lake shore and the sunrises are great.

It’s not as close to Rotorua as you might think. No lift so that was a bit of problem. Breakfast was pretty good.

Relaxing stay in Rotorua
The location of the hotel is very beautiful, just by the lake. We got a lake view unit and we enjoyed that in our stay. The hotel also offered kayaking, which we did in the lake and enjoyed.

David

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was pretty clean and the bed was comfortable. Sadly that’s the only good part. The whole place seemed neglected and run down. Paint was peeling on the bathroom walls, dead dragonflies in the hallway windowsills. It was probably a lovely property 20 years ago but it has not been maintained. Even the patio furniture by the lake is in need of replacement. We weren’t expecting top luxury, but we didn’t feel it was worth the money we paid.
