" Clean and comfortable "

"Very calm and welcoming environment."

"Bathroom was not clean, toilet or shower. Heat pump was only blowing cold air. Reception was very unhappy when we arrived and when I complained before check out she looked under pressure and upset as there were other people staying wanting to complain. Her welfare I was concerned about and could very well be an investigation by the council. The lifts had mixed messages on how many people can be in lift and also the weight on 3 stickers were all different. There was no certification ticket any where. The stairs were out of commission so what does one do in a fire???? The Hamilton City council have a lot to explain as does the hotel. No one was available to take our complaints after hours. The VR in the name must stand for Very Rundown. Shocking stay!!!"

"Arrival & Atmosphere We arrived around 3 PM and check-in was smooth - there was one staff member at the front desk who was expecting us. However, the resort felt unusually quiet, almost empty. During our stay, most facilities appeared closed, including dining and the spa. It’s unclear whether these are only available in peak season. We did notice a couple of staff cars later in the day, but overall the property felt very inactive. Facilities & Amenities Some amenities were either unavailable or underwhelming. The sauna and steam room are located in a small unisex space and are not kept running - you have to turn them on yourself and switch them off after use. The pool area was also closed, and we were not provided access. In the chalet, amenities were quite basic for a wellness resort. There were no slippers or bathrobes, no paper towels in the kitchen, and only one box of tissues in the bathroom. The tub/jacuzzi did not come with bath salts or proper toiletries, so it wasn’t very usable. There is also no in-room safe. Basic items like bottled water, cups, and dining sets for two were provided. Room Layout & Design We paid about NZ$405 (~$238) for a one-bedroom chalet (65 sqm). The space itself is generous, but the layout is not very functional. The bathroom connects to the closet, which is convenient, and having an ironing board is a plus. However, the shower is quite small, the sink is shallow, and the toilet is tightly placed between fixtures, making it awkward to use. "
