The rooms are spacious, and a short walk to downtown Queenstown. Would definitely stay again. If you get a room with a view of the lake and city, it is well worth it.

Overall OK for tourist stay when visiting Rotorua area. Some small things could be improved. E.g. too long faucet let water easily go out in bathroom sink. The toaster can accommodate 4 pieces of breads. That is exceptionally nice. But two of them didn't work.

Nicola the manager at the place very friendly & nice ! The place over all very clean, tidy & comfortable, little noise due to next to road, the carpet looks new, just the kitchen & bathroom floor needs some touch up. They have a kitchen with range if decide to cook something simple, you have everything you need to eat in . Only suggestion is have a bigger pot . there only 2 small pots & medium size frying pan. In the future they might be better because while we check in was told as of July 1st under new management!

Average, wouldn't stay here again.

Quite run down, fridge and pantry cupboard needed a good clean. Fridge didn't cool down, bedroom light didn't work. Man on reception didn't know if night market was on in town that night, should be more informed.

Welcoming owner on Arrival. Spacious room. Like many hotels in nz, outdated in some areas . Large shower but have to take shower hose off and wash your body as it couldnt be adjusted and would get over your head and face. Jetted tub was awesome. Toaster doesnt pop up so have to manually pop it b4 bread burns. Door was hard to open and close and window latches need fixing. Room has everything you need for a nice stay. Convenient location. As a gold member of hotels.com for several years and staying in hundreds of places , it was a nice stay overall but would be nice to see some reinvestment into simple fixes. Would stay again but if maintenance was done id be happy to pay a bit more. Thanks again

This is a value property, it is clean and as well kept as Oman older property can be. I felt completely safe as a single woman I international traveler. For the price it was great and as I understand it is undergoing some renovation and reinvigoration. For the price I paid this was a reasonable accommodation and the spa in my spa room, though tired and didn't have working jets was a wonderful place to soak in the Rotorua waters. Keep in mind this spa is not like a bath tub where you bathe, but a hot tub where you soak. The shower is for getting clean and finishing off the high mineral content and high sulfur water the area is known for. The ONE thing they can do immediately to make this a property I would have rated excellent. GOOD mattresses! No lie that was the huge disappointment. I sat in the bed and knew that I was going to wake up in the morning on pain. I guess it is a good thing Rotorua Thai Massage takes walk ins and the money I saved I spent on that massage.

Older motel offering great value

This is an older property and needs a bit more maintenance. Nevertheless, it was very clean and the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. And the in-room geothermal spa pool was very beneficial. I would certainly stay here again!

Property Booked states Business Studio. 1 King bed and 1 Single. However at checking it was given 1 Queen only. When we approached staff they respond it is Expedia mistake. It was extremely disappointing and not know whom to blame. It was weeked and public holiday therefore cant find other options. At the End we were given Standard room and bedding on the floor. Bathroom door has no stopper. Keeps open itself. Thanks it was only for 1 night.We seek partial refund from Expedia for there misinformation on there website about the property. .
