Copthorne Hotel Rotorua

all good

been a bit closer to reception. Have a disability walking far.

Bed and pillows were comfortable. Carparking

Whole premises and rooms very run down. Pool was very old (tiles peeling, and lifted off around edging), spas were old. Tv had 2 channels that worked. No air con. Mould on curtains

Comfy beds

shower over bath

I was booked into a cheap room and they upgraded me. I was booked in for 1 night but was unsure whether I would need an additional night and they said they would tentativet book me for the additional night. As it happens I didnt take up the additional night but it was nice knowing that I had some certainty of accomodation if I needed it. I am definately going to use this motel every time I return to stay in Rotorua.

The staff were very pleasent, we even got upgraded to superior room at no extra cost.

It provided my family with plenty of activities to keep us busy during a cold rainy couple of days. The heated pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium. The restaurant was good with choice of a la carte and buffet. And the bar atmosphere provided adults with a relaxing time.

A couple of the staff were just plain messy in simple customer service protocol. It just doesnt help and for ratings, I can understand why it is a 3 stars hotel. For example, a bar staff member could not be bothered to get a spoon (the bar was only 10 meters from the restaurant, and the three of us were the only patrons at the bar) to ensure a specialised drink (shooter) was poured correctly. Presentation is everything some might say and this staff member hasnt heard of that obviously. Perhaps my family and I didnt look important enough!! I did not complain at the time, to ensure my family enjoy the night, so I appreciate the opportunity to comment.
