The staff were friendly and the parking was free. Those were the best parts of our stay. The room was more outdated and dingy than I was expecting. I think some of the rooms here have been updated and others have not. Ours was definitely not. We were in a superior room with multiple beds. I would not recommend selecting this room. I could have dealt With it being outdated but it felt musty. Anytime we turned on the AC the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. I do understand Rotorua has a smell in general but in the room with the AC on it was unbearable. I had a headache and my eyes were burning. My husband was coughing. We did notify staff and they said some rooms have a worse smell than others. They offered to change our rooms for a fee, which I guess is a good aspect. I will probably never stay in Rotorua again but if you do I would recommend a different room at this hotel or just a different hotel.

Checking in and out was simple and quick with friendly, courteous staff. The pool was smaller than expected so we left that to families with smaller kids. Room was nice and cool which was appreciated as it was a hot day when we checked in.
