Location was great
Location was excellent for our needs being close to the Māori village and redwood forest. There is a strong sulphur smell though throughout the hotel.
Plenty of parking.

Arousing aroma
Get the real smell of Rotorua. This accommodation is very close to Thermal sites. Within walking distance of major sightseeing venue. Roomy, good breakout area to have a quiet drink. Buffet dining available which was good value. Easy parking onsite. Overall good experience.

Nice and clean larger hotel on the outskirts of town. A pleasant stay but a little farther from the Centre than we would have preferred.
