Check in staff were helpful, gave us a key to the back door which is nearer to the lifts. Nice touch but lifts were really stinky, had a musky smell not the Rotorua sulfur smell. Rooms were super dated. Room smelt of mildew, shower head looked really dirty so I had to call the reception to change room. Front desk staff Neah was accommodating but housekeeping supervisor was so rude. Came in the room and asked what the problem is, showed her what we thought was a cockroach in the balcony, only to be ridiculed that it’s a Weta, she picked it up and kept telling me that it will fly away as it’s a weta. She picked it up, it crawled all over her arm and she flicked it off in the air and it just fell to the ground floor, never flew….. I then showed her the shower head, she said that those are not dirt but it is normal to have that in Rotorua due to the sulfur and that even if she shows me other units it’s going to be the same. She said that other hotels have the exact same problem. She showed me another room but we didn’t change as it had the same smell, style and shower head). I decided to shorten our stay and found something just opposite with no dirt on showerhead-so it’s a lie, scum like marks were not caused by sulfur but laziness. marks will not accumulate if this has been cleaned daily. She even threatened that if I complain about their cleanliness, she will have to fire the lady who cleaned our room.She should be the one fired in my opinion since shes the supervisor.

Great location. Close to the town. We have booked for one night on the way from Wellington to Auckland on 1st of Jan.. hoping to have rest and food on the site. The restaurant and the bar were closed. Had to go to town for the dinner. Very good property but very poorly maintained. Old carpets old fashioned AC unit in the room, The 4th floor area near lift was leaking. Could see buckets around floor to catch the water. No real vibe. Not sure the what is happening with hospitality industry in NZ. Day by day quality of service is diminishing every where. Have used Copthrone hotels before in NZ. Not up to the reputation.

Couldn't use the body wash and shampoo as the bottles were sealed shut, the toilet was running water so at times didn’t flush and the fridge didn’t work and we had to get it replaced. There were minor rips in the carpet, water marks all over the cabinetry and it was worn down everywhere. Staff were lovely but we will not stay here again.

The room was clean beds super comfy. The pressure in the shower wasn't amazing but I find it hard to find any hotel with good water pressure. The heated pool and spa were great he kids loved it. The breakfast wasn't the best so we only ate down there once but that is also due to fussy kids. Rooms do get a little hot but we just turned the air con on all night. Staff were fantastic though. Would book and stay there again.
