The Good:

Located in a quiet area, two blocks from a park, and a short walk to shopping area.
Less expensive than many other hotels/motels.

Very friendly, nice, and helpful owner.

Kitchen area and refrigerator meant we could eat breakfast in our room and save money on food.

WiFi worked in the early morning and afternoon but seemed to get slow in the evenings when everyone was in their rooms.

The Rest:

Looks like it was built in the 1950s or 60s and that it has not been updated since that time.

Walls of the room were marked and could use a cleaning and a paint job.

Carpet is worn and threadbare in places and needs to be replaced.

Bathroom needs to be torn out and replaced - no water pressure, mold growing on the shower curtain, appears to be rot around the area where the shower/tub meets the wall.

This worked out fine for the four nights that four of us were there, but it definitely took some getting used to, and all of us wore socks all the time rather than going barefoot in the room.

Average & Satisfactory

What can you say to someone who gave you shelter?  Our flight was cancelled and we were stuck in Rotorua for four days.  We used booking.com to make reservations.  When we arrived he noted that we could easily fit into the larger of the two rooms and allowed us to cancel our other reservation without penalty.  The room was two bedrooms and slept nine with one bathroom (separate toilet).  It included a full kitchen with microwave.  The walls were painted cinderblock.  There was no a/c but fans were available.  We were there during summer.  It was clean but a bit dingy.  The bathroom was OK but the shower was too low for me (I'm 6'3") and only warm water.  It was your typical motel experience.  Nothing like the hospitality of a hotel or b and b.

Older type motel close to everything and everywhere. Décor a bit dated but clean and management were helpful and friendly. Shower over bath was not ideal and could have done with a new shower curtain as the one we had was moldy. No milk supplied but not a biggie. Definitely value for money though.  Would use again.

You Get What You Pay For

The whole apartment had this smell which would not go away at all. It was daunting. The kitchen floor was sticky as hell...avoided going on that side. The decor is tiresome. A bit of walk too from the isite and city centre. Only reason for an extra star was the cost. But had i opted to pay 30 dollars more could have got a way better deal.

Smelly smelly and sticky

In desperate need of refurbishment. 
Easter weekend so nothing else available at short notice. 
Could feel the bed springs so not a good sleep. 
No basic things like Salt & Pepper, tissues, face cloth or soap.
Hot pool was burning hot so couldn’t use.
Bug crawling in bath. 
Very friendly manager though who was helpful and made the stay bearable.
