"Check-in was smooth, although it was a busy day. Hotel facilities are fine, and heated pools are the highlight. We figured the wall-mounted heater wasn't working, but the room was naturally heated due to geothermal activities while the outside temperature was below 8 degrees Celsius. Breakfast was quite good and exceeded our expectations.
Overall we can recommend the hotel for families travelling with young children, and it's a fair deal during the Easter break."
"We loved it. We were upgraded to a suite with lake views from the balconies on the first and second floors. It was clean, quiet and a short walk to restaurants. Parki g was easy and safe, and laundry facilities made it easy to clean a fee things while were were there."
"So disappointed. Cost alot of money and did not feel we got value for money. Our room was 2 levels up and was not sound proof from people next door if they were talking outside. The room was very basic. Not as nice as it looked on line. Bed was okay but not great. Hubby and I didnt sleep well, had a pretty terrible night. During the night, not sure what time, it sounded like pipes making this terrible noise. Like someone turned on a tap. It startled us both. So biggest downside was price for a very basic room. Noise from people outside talking, so had to close windows. Basic bed. Definitely not value for money. I know a place as big as this must struggle in this tough economy but if we are going to treat ourselves to a motel/hotel its a treat and this definitely wasnt. "
"Bed was very comfortable, patio was great, lots of space in room. Lots of parking and great location. Front desk staff were great. Bathroom was in need of a couple of repairs (loose tile and the shower hose breaking apart at ends). "
" A motel stay, 5-10-minute walk to central Taupo shops and across a green and street to the lakeshore. The Taupo Sunday market (excellent) is right in front, on the green! "
