Rooms: Spacious, self-contained units with kitchen facilities
“The location is superb, an easy walk to Rotorua's waterfront, gardens, and dining; however, the building's age is apparent, especially in the tired decor and lack of bedside lighting. I appreciate the multiple heated pools for relaxation; it's a solid base for exploring if you value location over modern frills.”
