“I wouldn't expect much beyond basic lodging here. From what I gathered, some rooms are to be avoided, as they can be dark and feel basement-like; a complete refurbishing seems overdue, and street-facing rooms suffer from Rotorua's busy traffic, with spotty WiFi and advertised amenities that don't always deliver. Honestly, I suspect it's a place for a quick overnight if you're not fussy.”
