    Nice hotel...shame about the smell

    Stayed here for a couple of days...the hotel is basic and comfortable. The lady at check in was very friendly. We were prepared for the smell that is associated with Rotorua and surroundings but not prepared for the smell which was overwhelming in our room....More

    Adequate

    Good sized room, clean and recently decorated. It’s is let down by the kitchenette area which is clean but not that modern. Pool area and thermal pool, we didn’t use either. Some on site parking. Front desk staff very helpful.

    Thank Lucyleak

    It means you get an initial byte of Wi-Fi then you purchase any extra you need once you've used up whatever you start with. It should indicate level of Wi-Fi (actually built into tariff) when stating how much is 'free'.
