We were pleasantly surprised with our stay! My husband and I decided to do a last minute trip to Rotorua. The night before we spent hours looking for a hotel. We were looking at the bigger hotels but all the reviews were bad and the prices were high. We were only planning to stay one night so we took our chances on a cheap motel. We figured we could do one night somewhere not as nice for the price. We were so surprised when we entered our room and it was really clean and comfortable. We would have happily stayed extra nights if we had time. We were traveling with our daughter and the owners were so sweet to make a little bed for her. They also let us take pool towels on our day trip to the spring pools. Parking is free, I’ve read the hotels nearby charge. The only downside is that the bathrooms are outdated but they are clean.

Clean, comfortable, spacious motel on the southern fringe of the Rotorua CBD. We stayed in a well appointed one bedroom unit with two single beds in the living area and a separate bedroom with a king bed plus a bathroom, dining area and kitchen. Steve and Sue, the owners are genuine, warm and welcoming. For a traditional, quality Kiwi motel experience, the Rotorua Motel is recommended! Call to get a 'book direct' special price.

I enjoy my stay at Rotorua Motel. The room was clean and well-equipped. It had complete towels, a fan, heater, hair blower, and a small table and chair. There was also a small bed suitable for a child aside from a double bed. The mini kitchen was very convenient, with utensils available for cooking meals. The toilet and bath were clean and fully functional, with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel provided. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay.

No windows to open for air only sliding door, would have been great as was very hot and stuffy during the night. Shower had low pressure. Alot of insects in bathroom not sure how they got in. For the price was not worth it. Beds very comfortable. Why was there a parking charge have never experienced that charge anywhere. Wouldnt stay there again.

Stayed for 1 night with our 2 grand daughters. We had a one bedroom apartment. What an awesome motel. The single beds were king size and our bed was super comfy. Very clean and couldn't fault anything. The owner was very nice also. The road traffic didn't bother us. Big thumbs up to the owners and cleaners. It may be a bit old but was sooo clean and comfortable 👍👍. We would definitely stay again Thank you Uru Deam 🙂
