Paid for a deluxe room and I don't think that this is what I got but the receptionist was very vague. Arrived back at about 10 pm and couldn't get a coffee from the bar as the machine had been switches Off. A bit disappointed

Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are disappointed to read the room you were booked into wasn't what you expected. We do our room allocations very carefully and we do provide the same rooms that guests have booked online so I am bit surprised to read your feedback on this. Our bar service do normally finish at the same time as our restaurant which is 9:30pm depending on how busy the restaurant is. If it is convenient are you able to please contact myself directly so I can look into the booking that you made. We would love for you come to back and have an enjoyable experience to remember. If you are in Rotorua again please do not hesitate to contact myself directly and I will personally look after your booking. Thank you for staying with us. Yours sincerely Gurinder Singh Front Office Manager

Really nice to stay in a hotel with a bit of history, we booked an Estate Room for my birthday. Unfortunately our first room wasn’t great, a little dark and overlooking the street, so not very private, felt more like a motel room. However, we were upgraded on our second night to a much nicer room which was great, nice modern bathroom and bright rooms. The free parking advertised is actually on street parking, so prepare to walk a bit if you can’t get a park next to the hotel.
