Liked: Staff & service
The property is in a nice spot and the staff are nice, but it is a little dated. Also, the only accessible outlet by the desk was far from the desk and under the aircon, which was dripping over the outlet. I ended up using an extension cord to reach the outlet by the bed across the room, but it was a stretch.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The hotel is a little jaded now but you can still see its former splendour. I thought it was wonderful inspite of its tired facilities. The staff were super helpful and the breakfast is good. I would stay here again.

Reasonably priced place to stay
A good place to stay at a very reasonable price. Room was comfortable but a little dated. Screen between bathroom and bedroom was faulty and difficult to close or open. Limited menu options and food was average, but having a restaurant on site was handy as it saved a 10min drive into Rotorua
Great views from hotel

Great value for money, staff were friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable. Food was good. The only faults we found were the screen between the bathroom and bedroom was in poor condition and didn’t operate properly and the washing machines in the laundry hadn’t been cleaned properly.

This was an expensively appointed hotel when built but it is starting to tire. Still lovely. But please please clean the windows, inside and out; a simple thing that will just lift the whole experience. Breakfast was excellent and evening dining is good.
