Pullman Rotorua
Quick and easy check in. Modern hotel with a very large room (king with lake view). Only parking option is valet so be prepared to pay for valet upon arrival. Within easy walking distance to more restaurants than you can visit. Disappointed that there wasn't a pool. Didn't like that price for breakfast ...

Was at the hotel for a conference and stayed in house. The breakfast was really good and the staff were LOVELY. The location is fabulous, right next to Eat St and beside the lake. I really enjoyed my stay.

Ambassador Thermal Motel
I had a comfortable bed and a great shower. There was cooking facilities available and a microwave. It is a bit tired but right in town and a good location on a quiet street. Also well priced and spacious room.
