The motel is in an older area and is showing it's age in some areas. Our room door was difficult to open and a few of the interior fixtures were pretty old and low end. It's on a busy road and can be noisy when traffic is heavy.

Comfortable

Motel was easy to find with parking. Checkin was easy and quick. Room was very clean but not updated, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Personally as long as it's clean I am good, and it was. The only thing less than comfortable was how quick we ran out of hot water in the shower. My husband and I couldn't shower back to back without the second person quickly running out of hot water - even trying to take quick ones.

We ended up staying here last minute due to a bad experience at the Marsden Hotel down the road. It was a pleasant stay. The rooms are a bit small if you have a few suitcases, and the WiFi isn't great, but it has all the facilities for a one-night stop off, and I have no major complaints. Would stay here again for the price we paid.

We have stayed in other motels in this chain and this one was very similar to the others in terms of layout and facilities. The slight downsides of the Rotorua one were a feeling that it needed a little TLC to smarten it up a bit. Also at other Bella Vistas it was possible to get change for the washers and dryers but not here - had to go to the local shop.
