Quest Rotorua Central
We loved our king studio room. Especially the washer and dryer. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the milk in the fridge for morning coffee. It is a very central location with groceries and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay again.

Ambassador Thermal Motel
This motel has all you need to cook basic meals. The rooms are very quiet and the beds are comfortable. The motel is a bit dated and could use a refresh but is very decent for the price.
