Pros:

This motel was in a convenient location not too far from Rotorua city. The room was comfy, the toilet and shower were good, with a beautiful up-dated mirror (electric), clean, good firm bed, clean sheets, good pillows. Suited our needs for an overnight stay.

Cons:

The clothes cupboard was in the bathroom, which is strange - maybe this could be redesigned to put the cupboard door on the other side of the wall in the bedroom. That's about all to say at this stage.

Wonderful
Pros:

The host was exceptional. Took our luggage up stairs for us

Cons:

I would have liked a two bedroom room downstairs as I had my aging dad with me who got a bit breathless going up the stairs.
An elevator would be perfect.

Good location, bad place to sleep.
Pros:

Central location was good.

Cons:

If you want to sleep in sauna this is the place, the boiler was on constantly on and we ended up sleeping above the blankets and still were very sweaty.

The motel offered a cozy and convenient stay with friendly service.
Pros:

It was a really pleasant stay! The place was super warm, comfy, and convenient, all at a great price. Plus, the staff were incredibly friendly, which made it even better.

Cons:

The shower was a bit cramped, making it tough to get properly clean but still manageable.
