Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was lovely and big. Comfy beds, hot shower, heaps of towels, coffee pod machine. Pool was great, spa was lovely. Laundry handy. Good little gift shop. Didn’t eat at Rydges as too expensive - $65pp. Hard to find somewhere reasonable to eat in Rotorua, everything overpriced and very touristy.

The hotel was fine and staff very welcoming. Unfortunately our room was very dirty. Toilet not cleaned, floors and surfaces still very dirty and rubbish on the floor. The housekeeper who came to fix was lovely though. On closer look after she left, it was obvious some things hadn’t been cleaned for quite a while.

Massive hotel. Staff excellent. Tidy n clean . I was most surprised it did not have wider range of cable/ sky like CNN, fox, BBC news for such a major quality brand hotel. At check out they were insisting my accom had not been paid which created some anxiety ( happens a lot when I book via wotif) Eventually they discovered it had been paid.

We booked our first room which we moved from one the second night due to it not being cleaned properly the new room Shannon gave us was incredible thanks so much first day here cleaning service was great today wasn’t as great. My mum also checked in today to also come across her room had not been cleaned went to use mugs to make a cup of tea and it still had the previous persons drink in it the other cup had hot chocolate on it. Dining staff I found I had to ask for a high chair third time asking I gave up and just fed my daughter on my lap. Overall I think the cleanliness of the rooms is where attention is most needed

A fun getaway for a family with children. The playroom and the heated pool during winter kept the children and adults happy and occupied. Other activities were offered by the hotel like bikes for bike riding. Rooms were good. The bathroom had a bit of wear and tear. Shower is also a bath, so it was a bit tricky to step in for the children. There were non slip mats for the shower provided to reduce slips in the bath tub. Laundry facility was good but busy in the evenings. Will definitely return back when we’re back in Aotearoa.
