Disliked: Cleanliness
Our room had dirty stains on the wall above the couch. We were left no sheets or blankets for the pull out couch. We had stayed previously and it was great. Our stay this time was less than average. We wont be back.

Not worth the money spent
Check in process was efficient and front desk staff was lovely. however room itself was in poor condition- had an awful smell, dirty towel left on the bathroom floor (presumably hadn't completed cleaning yet?), not enough towels for the three guests we had booked for. Could have been better.

Scam booking by nz.hotels.com
nz.Hotel.com took our booking for one night at the Emerald Spa Motor Inn and room payment with Amex, then we get advised by Emerald Spa that there was no room available when the booking was made.

Reception staff were friendly and helpful. They readily supplied me with a map of Rotorua when I asked for one. The room was clean and tidy. Sky TV had access to most channels. The motel is only a short drive (5 minutes) from the city, so it is close, as are the Polynesian Spa Baths which i intended to visit.
