The hotel had a great lakeside location that felt peaceful and cozy. My room was spacious and had a fantastic king-size bed that made for a comfortable stay. While most of the staff were friendly and professional, I did encounter a few who seemed confused and unwelcoming. The dining options could use a bit more variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, it provides good value for a weekend getaway, but there are still some areas for improvement.

This hotel has a great location, close to downtown with a lovely lake view. The rooms are clean but a bit small; I think next time I’ll go for the larger king suite. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making my stay enjoyable. Dining was good, but I felt it could be a bit better considering the price. Overall, a nice place but a couple of improvements would make it even better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is amazing, right on Lake Taupo with a lovely view, and the staff are friendly and cheerful. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated and not as clean as I would have hoped, especially with dusty blankets. Overall, it offers good value for money given the location, but there's definitely room for improvement in other areas.

Overall, I felt it was a good value, but there were some dining options that could definitely improve.
