“While the location is convenient to Rotorua's attractions, and the presence of a kids' club appeals to families, some aspects of the experience seem inconsistent with a 4-star billing; I noted reports of cleanliness issues and small inconveniences. The American and Chinese cuisine is an interesting choice and the massage chair is a plus, but I think improvements are needed for a truly premium stay.”
