Rotorua Motel
A hearty welcome from Steve the manager was great after the day we’d spent travelling. The motel is on a relatively quiet road, close to a number of major supermarkets and takeaway outlets. Ideal location when planning day trips in or outside Rotorua. Studio ‘room' was spacious and clean as too was the bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen equipped for cooking basic meals which suited us as we were travelling on a budget. Free Wifi was a bonus as too was the ample parking. Although there was a swimming pool and spa we never took advantage of these but I did notice many other visitors who did. They all seemed to be having fun. Having read reviews of this motel across a number of sites I was rather hesitant about making a booking however it dawned on me that the tone of many reviews seemed to change after a certain date making me wonder if there’d been a change in ownership? It turns out there's been a change in management which I suspect accounts for this. Completely different to how I imagined it would be after all the reviews I’d read. We’d definitely stay there again.

The Rotorua Motel is easy to find with GPS navigation and you can't miss it with its pretty pastel-color and long curb-side presence. Owner Steve greeted me very warmly upon my arrival and we chatted at length about various interesting things. My upstairs room, perfect for a solo traveler, had a separate kitchenette room with all amenities, a nice storage area for clothes, a small table and chairs, and a very comfy large bed with useful small lamps on the bedtables. The art on the walls was very attractive. The location was excellent, just southeast of the charming downtown of Rotorua, and very close to my favorite attraction in Rotorua-- the Redwood Forest, just a several-minute drive away. (With Lake Tikitapu not far beyond that--featuring another great forest walk around the lake.)

We did end up liking the location, maybe a little bit away from where we had to be but this accommodation was booked at the last minute with huge events on in the city. So we were very grateful for the comfort of this motel. Rooms were a bit stuffy in the heat of the summer and we did have the fan on overnight for a little relief but air con would of definately been the one. Would come back again though. The owners and staff were very lovely and showed us other rooms we could have that would accommodate us better when we came back and most certainly will.

The room was lovely and clean. Beds nicely made and there was a hairdryer available in the closet. Parking was provided around the back of the motel for customers, this was park where there was a space. The Small kitchen in the room was nice and clean and tidy. The location was very handy to the mall (we actually didn't realise we were close enough to the mall to walk until we got back from going to get dinner)

Brenda

I'm sorry I didn't catch her name but the manager was an absolute pleasure to deal with, so friendly and accommodating. Our room was lovely and warm when we arrived it was also fully equipped. The pool was well used by our children and us adults enjoyed a soak in the hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay. We do plan to stay here again. Please thank your amazing manager for us 😊
