Location
When we first arrived we knew it was bad. The room was disgusting, so dirty, stove was rusty and dirty benches all chipped water damage falling apart, holes in walls rotten, water dripping marks down walls you could see these had been used in covid. Should not be able to be advertised so miss leading the photos on add. Lights hanging out of roof curtains held on by cable ties. No smoke alarms just where one was. Letting them advertise on your site is bad. Osh should be notified rails up 3rd floor rusty disgusting. Owners did not care. I have many photos but do not know how to attach. We were there two hours just sitting on beds in shock really while partner went to try find other accommodation. They agreed to refund one night. As they could not fill the night we left. Went past an hour later they had someone else there. So so disappointed please follow this up not good for booking site and just so misleading.

Nothing the place is the pits the photos don’t do it justice on the booking app as they are old photos the place sure as heck doesn’t look like that now it’s terrible. They need to have some care and look after the grounds, mow the lawns. A major upgrade is in need as the place is barely staying above ground. The hot water only lasted 3 showers before it went cold for the other 2 occupancy as we were a family of 5.

The location was good and the spa bath was a bonus plus we were on the bottom floor, however I did see there was a lift for the upstairs rooms not that we used it.
The place needs alot of TLC such as cracks in ceilings, holes in doors, and it was a bit musty too - maybe upgrade the TV to smart

We had a family room - two rooms with four beds. Beds were clean and comfortable. An extra pillow or two would have been nice. Location was handy to town. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a simple meal. We had a new fridge and toaster. It was a little noisy - road and other people around. We were in the front part of the motel, opening the window to our the back, the place looked like it was falling down! A lot of work needed. A power point wasn't working and some of the window latches were a bit dodgy.
I would never swim in the spa. It was run down and needed some serious work.

Location in Rotorua great, close to everything as a visitor
You need to put in a community petition to get rid of your gang affiliated neighbours, stupid idiot walking up and down the road pushing bins over and screaming outside with a knife, that guy needs to get away from such an awesome place, he don’t deserve it
