BK's Rotorua Motor Lodge
"Althought the price reflected the state of the place I was disappointed by the cleanliness. The toilet had TP in it, there were other people's hairs around the room, and the wifi was not as good as advertised. 13MBPS was the best I saw but it was more like 3-4 most of the time."
