Rydges Rotorua
The second floor was great apart from no balcony. The room looked like it had been refurbished and was nice. The dinner was great. The breakfast was okay. I would go back.

Millennium Hotel Rotorua
Norrie in the Club lounge is an absolute treasure. He was extraordinarily hospitable and kind and thoughtful. Every staff member we encountered was great but Norrie really should be commended.

Sudima Lake Rotorua
Felt that for the price the room was very dated, and an extremely soft bed didn't allow a good sleep. Breakfast was nice.
