Close to red woods and cultural experience. Pool and spa was good. For the price I did think the room was a bit ordinary, shower over bath and old and outdated. Wall appears to be coming away at the base of the window sill.

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.
