The studio apartments were compact but surprisingly could comfortably accommodate four adults. Unfortunately, the room was not properly cleaned during our stay, and the worn, extremely stained carpet was a major drawback. However, the friendly service staff went out of their way to address any issues promptly.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and warm with excellent amenities like Sky Sports channel for watching rugby World Cup games, a heated pool, and a nice breakfast, offering great value for money. However, the rooms were too hot, especially at night, lacking heat pumps as an alternative. The overall decor of the hotel is dated and complex, needing refurbishment.

Service

The service was a mixed bag. While some staff members were friendly and understanding, others weren't super helpful, making me feel slightly unwelcomed during my interactions. However, the majority of the staff were nice and accommodating.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location was handy to Rotorua central, neat, and tidy, and close to the city centre. However, it wasn't as close to eateries as I expected, which was a bit disappointing for my dining options.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience left much to be desired. The availability of hot meals like eggs was not clear, and amenities like a kettle for hot water were lacking, leading to queues at the coffee machine. Overall, the dining was average, suitable if you aim to save money, but the lack of proper facilities like a good WiFi connection, working heater, TV channels, and parking service was disappointing.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities at the hotel need improvement. Despite offering a heated pool and nice breakfast, the overall experience was affected by poor maintenance and outdated amenities needing refurbishment.
