They say they staff the front desk until 10:30pm, but they don’t. They never answered the phone even once when we called during the time the desk was supposed to be staffed. Forget it if there is something wrong with your room - ours was missing a remote for the HVAC, and the other room we booked the water came out of both taps HOT HOT HOT. There was no help to be found. It was like accidentally stumbling into a ghost hotel with no staff. Uber does not want to come there, because it’s a 20-25 minute drive to get there. So we wound up waiting 30 minutes for an Uber the first time, then we wised up and ordered the Uber at a specific time so that we knew we could get a ride. The pool is not heated. Breakfast was a typical hotel buffet breakfast - which might be the best thing we can say about the place. We wouldn’t stay there, again. The staff we did manage to find and interact with were polite. I felt sorry for them, because every single person who checked out while we were sitting in the lobby had something wrong with their room.

Wall paint chipped and coming off. What appeared and smelled like mold was around our shower heads and ceiling of the bathroom. No greeting or acknowledgment at the door from staff or help with bags (we were on the second floor and there is no elevator). When we arrived to check in there were no other cars in the parking lot or people to be seen but they told us we had to wait for our room be cleaned.

This resort is about 15 minutes from the Rotorua town centre. The resort is dated, our room & the common areas are in need of updating. Our room was a large suite overlooking the lake. Because the weather was so wet we did not use the outside area, but it must be nice when the sun is shining. The carpet in our suite looked new, but the furnishings are old, stained & worn. We didn’t eat in the dining room, so can’t comment. There is no safe in the room, but the staff did hold our passports when we went exploring in town.Cant say enough good things about the staff. They were very warm & helpful.

Please don’t book this property! I booked this resort through Expedia with a lake view for just one night as me and my wife were doing a road trip of North island from Auckland to Wellington and had a stop over at Rotorua. I checked in a little late around 10 pm and as soon as I entered the room and tried to connect the WiFi it was not working. I complained and the staff was also not able to fix the problem. Then I used the washroom and flushed the toilet, but it didn’t stop releasing the water as the flush was too old and got stuck. Then I called the front desk again to fix it but there was no one except the night guard who was unable to help at the moment. With all this fuss I was not able to sleep until 12:30 and the problems were not fixed either. Moreover, the room condition was not good at all, there was dust all over the place on the phone, table, bathroom, soap bottles, shower door and the condition of the hotel was really horrible and nowhere near a 5 star. I am going to file a complaint with Expedia and expect atleast a half refund from the hotel if not full. I do not recommend this property to anyone unless they renovate the building. It’s better to book a motel and save your money and time. Nick.
