We had a wonderful two-night stay here and were impressed by how convenient and welcoming everything was. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Rotorua, close to shops, attractions, and dining, yet quiet and peaceful at night. The room was spotless, spacious, and had all the essentials we needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette which made it easy to prepare small meals or enjoy a hot drink. A thoughtful touch was receiving a bottle of milk at check-in for a cuppa after a long drive. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Parking was easy, and check-in was smooth and efficient. This is a great base for exploring Rotorua and relaxing in between adventures. We would definitely stay here again if we're back in Rotorua in the future.

It's very unassuming from the outside but inside is lovely. It was absolutely spotless. All the beds were comfortable and there's lots of space. Location is great. Raj was great to deal with and even posted my mum's glasses that she left ther.

Friendly staff. Great location, parking on site, although there isn't a guaranteed space. Very clean. The top floor room facing carpark was good for a couple of nights. Budget motel. Small room, but it is equipped for a short stay.
