Comfortable and convenient
Just an overnight stop in Taupo and the reception was very friendly. It was great you could check in any time which reduced stress for us travelling with a toddler. The room was clean and beds very comfortable. An enjoyable stay.

Great, but breakfast not worth the money
Generally great, breakfast would have been great at half the price, it was a good basic buffet breakfast but the price was for something much better. Coffee was from a machine that seemed to be filter although it said esspresso, and only eggs were scrambled.

Terrific in Taupo
Stayed overnight and perfectly adequate for our purposes. Older style hotel in large grounds with lovely heated pool.
Great parking. Did not use bar or restaurant.
