For a Hotel that has stars, it misses the mark. Hair in bed. Brown stains around tap and plug hole in the bathroom sink. (We took pictures)No sliding doors(looks like they removed didnt bother to replace) no table. For the amount of money we paid for one night it was disappointing. Never go there again.

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 For the price I did think the room was a bit ordinary, shower over bath and old and outdated.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.

Rydges in Rotorua was a great choice for us. It was convenient, safe, and clean. Rydges Rotorua is close to Te Puia, and our room had a view of the geothermal valley. The staff was friendly. However, some staff members were not knowledgeable about the area or activities that Rotorua had to offer. They said to check the pamphlets against the wall and call the places directly. We were used to having a concierge at other places we stayed at (Hilton properties). We were still able to enjoy ourselves at Skyline Rotorua Adventures but were not able to get to the other places that we wanted because everything seemed to close early. We missed the mud bath (you need old swimsuits/clothes that you don't mind throwing away) at Hells Gate, the night geyser tour, and the river rafting. That just means that we will have to return and spend more time there.
