Imperial Hotel Rotorua
The stay was good but perhaps bit of improvement on customer service would be good, we ran out of coffee/tea but had to call the staff 3 times before it was being delivered and we wanted to have a swim but the swimming pool was not very clean. Thanks.

Excellent stay at Hotel Millennium.The hotel is beautiful and feels very luxurious. Our beds were made daily, the bathrooms were spotless, and everything was well cared for. The only downside was the poor Wi-Fi, but overall we really enjoyed our stay.
