Excellent place to stay in Rotorua, run by a very down-to earth gentleman. The room I stayed in was spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and well-presented. Good quality tea and coffee (even decaf), good size fridge with a small freezer compartment. Heaps of TV channels, and a good pressure shower with eco-friendly shampoo and body soap supply. Even a small recycling bin so you don't have to throw everything in the rubbish or leave bottles and cans etc standing around - fabulous! Although located on a major road, I could barely hear any traffic noise that Saturday night. There is a bakery (nice pies!) and a dairy just across the road, and Kuirau Park with its hot springs is literally around the corner.

Nothing here.

Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and spacious room, excellent hot water and pressure, comfortable beds, decent value.

Beds were a bit too soft for our preference, the entrance to the room was a single-glazed sliding door which can disturb light sleepers but it was fine for us and couldn't hear the main road. The only natural light was the bathroom window and the sliding door but need to have the curtains pulled for privacy so it was a bit dark but can be solved with having the lights on. But something for other travellers to take note if they really prefer natural light.

It was a very clean, modern studio which I managed to get at a bargain rate as part of a special deal on Bookings.com

I'd paid less for very similar rooms at other motels in Rotorua the previous two nights without them being on this special low rate. So I felt that the room was a little small when looking at its regular price. This motel's prices are generally double many other motels in the area so I thought the room would be larger, but it wasn't. But apart from that still very pleasant and comfortable.

Good location. Clothes Washing facilities. Comfortable rooms- typical motel room but spacious and clean. Heater in bathroom. Microwave . Fish and chip shop in same road ( closed Mondays!)

Lack of dishes to use in microwave / only one provided. Looks dated from outside but fine inside. Garden not very appealing .

I arrived early - 9:45am, well aware of the time but stopped to ask if I could drop my bag and use the toilet and I was pleasantly given my room key, no additional cost just moved stuff around to make it happen. The hospitality from the owner was a far reach of finding this service elsewhere, I was unwell and was ever so grateful as I slept most of the day away. Thank you so much for the manaki

The motel is older style but well-maintained and comfortable, and with a good central location within walking distance of the Eat Street cafes and restaurants and next to a large park with hot springs and other thermal features.

The motel is quite close to a busy road and we experienced a lot of traffic noise in our room late at night and early in the morning. The front rooms would benefit from double glazing!

Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Nice and close to the hospital and town center, easy walking distance. The room I stayed in had everything I needed for my stay. The bed is very comfy. Even thou close to the road, I hardly heard the traffic. I would most definitely book again, when next in Rotorua.

We found in the room everything we needed. Heater, AC, good water pressure

Late checkin might be complicated and you need to discuss this with the staff, as long as there is no key lockbox outside. Breakfast is not provided but it mentioned in the hotel guide book in the room
