I booked 3 nights for this Hotel, but I could not check in on the first day due to cancellation of flight. I knew the term of Hotel did not allow rebate for the first night, but even though the lady Attendant at Concierge of Hotel knew my unpleasant event, she was not sympathized and concerned my unpleasant event as well as she also was inpolite. Besides, my room was not completely made up and the services of staff at restaurant was very poor during my breakfast. The overall CP was very low. I will not choice this Hotel in future.

Free parking is available on the street right outside the hotel, if you can find a spot. The front desk kindly gave us two cans of M&Ms at check-in, which was a nice touch. It's very close to the food street next door, just a 5-minute walk downstairs, and also very close to Lake Rotorua. On a clear day, you can see it easily. The park in front has ducks, pigeons, and geese. The only downside to our stay was that the sink was clogged.

The hotel is located by the lake, offering great views. There's a street full of restaurants right downstairs, making dining incredibly convenient. However, because the hotel frequently hosts tour groups, getting assistance from the front desk often involves a long wait. There are plenty of free parking spots on the street outside the hotel, so purchasing the hotel's parking isn't necessarily needed. Overall, it's a very good hotel and highly recommended.

The room was clean and comfortable, though it does feel a bit old-fashioned. While the furnishings are slightly dated, everything was well maintained and functional. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, making for a good night’s rest. Overall, it was a decent stay, especially for the price.

The Pro's: *The location. In front of the lake and park. *Next to Eat street (restaurants and bars) Cons: *Outdated rooms. Bathroom had limescale on all the metal. Slight smell. *Broken TV, Half the screen was black *Housekeeping didn't make up room, even when sign was put on door handle. *Upon check-in, was given someone else room. *Parking on street in front of hotel, else $15 at paid parking

The Korean female staff at the front desk were very friendly. Thanks to them, I had a really pleasant stay.

Loved staying here. Close to all the restaurants so just a walk away from the central side. Highly recommend this place

Cons: I was surprised to find no free parking or available parking spaces. Secondly, the facilities are very old; I felt a strange smell as soon as I entered the room… Each room had a bottle of milk, but it was in a glass jar… which honestly scared me off from drinking it… The bathroom facilities were truly disappointing… Pros: The location is quite good… but the city is also very small, so everything is pretty much the same anyway. Summary: I won't be staying here again.
