Got good room upgrade to deluxe view room, good value for a busy weekend . Usually quite expensive , one of the best branded hotel in rotorua. Looking for more IHG property open in NZ.

Con's
1. Very soft mattress RM 326 leading to poor (5) nights sleep. Asked reception if they could change the mattress or room but was told all mattresses were the same so nothing could be done. On check-out I was told they could have placed a board under the mattress to firm it up so was somewhat disappointed that this wasn't offered initially.
Needed physio to untrap a pinched nerve caused by this.
Made for a painful drive back to Auckland.
2. Hallway carpets are looking a bit old and dirty. Could do with replacing.

My work colleague recommended Holiday Inn to us and also raved about Chapman's Restaurant. I took her word for it and got excited to enjoy our 1 year Wedding Anniversary upon making the booking.
My husband and I work really hard, and we rarely travel or enjoy the luxuries like some "well travelled" travellers. For us, this was an absolute treat as we didn't have a chance to go on our honeymoon but, this mini getaway was well worth it.
Our room wasn't ready upon check in so we got upgraded to a room on the top floor that had a balcony. The room was perfect in everyway and was very compact but had everything you needed including a view of Whakarewarewa Village.
We took advantage of room service for the first time and enjoyed our meal while watching TV in the comfort of our room. I ran off those extra kilo's the next morning in the well equipped gym while my husband enjoyed the heated pool/spa facilities before we made the most of the beautiful buffet breakfast at Chapman's. We couldn't pass the opportunity and enjoyed a few ales at the bar while watching the Warriors game before heading out to dine at a local favourite.
The staff at Holiday Inn were overall amazing, friendly and very professional. The food was divine, the room was perfect and my husband and I had the best weekend ever.
Our stay was so enjoyable that we plan on returning to Holiday Inn with our children so they can experience what we did as well.
Thank you Holiday Inn for a memorable experience. We will be back !!
perfect for our overnight stay.

we arrived and didnt leave the holiday inn until we had to check out. We had everything we needed, the swimming pool was great for the kids, the room was comfortable, tv great, free wifi for kids ipads and the kids ate free at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast buffett. Staff super helpful with questions regarding their hotel. Had a really nice stay. Thanks.
Booked an Extra Day

We decided to spend an extra day in Rotorua (instead of going to Auckland) because the hotel was comfortable and convenient. The staff easily helped us stay an extra night and ensured we could be in the same room so we wouldn't need to move our luggage and belongings. It was close to the geothermal areas so there was a tad of that smell but it was fine, we knew that ahead of time, and it was good to be in that location.
Comfortable, clean and reliable

A great stay, with a view of Whakarewarewa. We were in the fantastic pool each evening and enjoyed the pleasant restaurant. All reasonably priced.
Great Hotel

We stayed just the one night in this hotel. Had an early check-in without difficulty, the room was ready and very comfortable. Enjoyed the heated pool and spa pools and had a fabulous buffet dinner with an amazing choice of dishes especially the seafood. I have no problem recommending this hotel to others and will definitely stay again.
Pool is the drawcard

Pool is perfect temperature and large - good during school holidays! Only negative is the soft mattress and as a result had poor sleep both nights.
Homely hotel and really good service

We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Rotorua. The pool was great for our 8 year old boy, although unfortunately the two spa pools were not working when we visited them. The actual hotel room was lovely, but bathroom not very good at all. Needs renovating badly and this was disappointing. Otherwise very enjoyable stay.
Pretty Good

Big variety Buffet. Dissapointment -, No indoor pool. Rooms were pretty good value. No problems with parking. Seemed to be a very busy hotel.
Good all round support and service

Good central location for our needs and good value for money. Only one request, can beef sausages be made available on the breakfast menu as we do not eat pork products. Could we make this request at the time of booking?
