The room and grounds were not in the greatest condition- more old and outdated than anything else. The bathroom door did not shut. The room was really big and the bed was comfortable. There was also plenty of parking in the front and out back. This is a fine place to stay if you just plan on sleeping there- it definitely isn’t luxury.

An older type motel. It is not a "hotel" - there is no restaurant. It's rather shabby but you get what you pay for. Our unit was clean. The motel manager is very friendly and helpful. He kindly moved us to another room when we discovered that we had been allocated a unit adjacent to the extremely busy main road. It is worth noting that if you book a Twin Studio, they are all located on the noisy side of the motel. There is a pool, which appeared to be in good condition and was being used. On the whole, reasonably good value for money.
When I arrived there was no one at the reception just like when I went to come there was no one to check out, the room had a tear in the ceiling covered with paper, the carpet smelled really bad and felt very dirty.

Washroom mould should be clean. Rest of things all okay
Nothing worked - tv, ac, no phone. Very rundown - walls needed patching and painting. Carpets werent vacuumed. Only 1 face cloth and hand towel for 2 people.
Room was not in good condition, very old amenities, simple things like dishwashing liquid were not provided.

Room was terrible.
Water damage all through bathroom woodwork.
No ceiling fans or air-conditioning upstairs and the only portable fan in the kids room had to be plugged in behind the bed so couldnt get both kids!
Springs poking you through the couch, furniture dirty and worn.
The pool gate was locked, and the room was not very clean. We requested fresh towels after the first night, but nothing was done until 6:00 pm, and only after I followed up with reception again. Overall, it was not a good experience.
I travel often for work and like to support different businesses however I do not recommend Lake Rotorua my experience was terrible. I had booked in for two nights.
I overlooked the first terrible event of being checked into a room that wasn’t clean, it looked like someone was still staying in there. Empty pizza boxes, unmade bed, dirty towels in the bathroom. They said there was a miscommunication,
When I was given my new room there were holes in the bathroom, and a strand of long black hair in the fridge.
The next morning I had bought my pre-made breakfast with me and there was no cutlery but of course this was before 9am and no one I could ask.
I then was unaware that you had to request housekeeping so I came back later that night to no fresh linen. The unmade bed was annoying but ok. By then I couldn’t be bothered trying to find another accommodation as it was already 7pm.
Just to add to this the two lights kept flickering needing a lightbulb and The TV crapped out to finish the night.
An unpleasant experience and I do not recommend.
Dirty, disgusting actually, id say its been used to home the homeless or something, couch was shredded and out on the porch all floors had stains everywhere
Room needs ao.w maintenance big time.
Staff struggled to accept cash, their dog jumped all over us.
The toilet seat fell off, mould on the shower and basin.
The shower drain was blocked. The bathroom fan was completely blocked and did not spin.
The milk pottles in the fridge were god knows how old. Thick, chunky milk.
We had to ram the door just to get it to open.
Avoid this place!
Great vibe, pool was warm enough for a winter swim, room had a great layout, and staff were friendly and helpful.
Only negative was an ugly chewing gum stain on the sofa (room 007) and there were ants in the kitchenette
