Well the name of the place itself is rather odd... "Sport of Kings"? (horse racing) The place could do with a bit of a renovation. That wallpaper is starting to peel, and the shower head is losing it's chrome. And yes, the sulfur smell can sometimes be strong, even after a few days. But beyond that, the place is pretty... more

This motel is a bit dated, but it is clean and well looked after. It is located on the main hotel strip, and is in the geyser country part of town (which means it can smell quite bad due to the sulfur, but you stop noticing after a while). On the plus side, it is close to the Maori cultural... more

We were really pleased with this motel, it was very well-equipped and away from the road noise of Fenton Street (which is where most of the motels are located). We had our own spa bath which was nice but the weather was a bit hot to use it when we were there. There was a proper kitchen including an oven.... more

This motel was rather dated, and in need of investment. Having said that, it was spotlessly clean and staff were VERY obliging. (They oversaw the washing and drying of our laundry, enabling us to spend more time sight-seeing.) Our room was a good size, with the toilet separate from the bathroom. The main problem, at the time of our visit... more

This property is located just off the main drag of Rotorua, which is great as its away from the noise of the main highway, but close enough to get to all the attractions Rotorua has to offer. The reception staff are absolutely wonderful, and are well informed of all and any activities in the area. The rooms are probably a... more

We stayed here with our three children (6,11 & 13). It was great to find a motel with a unit that could accommodate us all in bedrooms, with noone sleeping in the lounge. The motel was very comfortable and clean, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were always available to help and answer questions. Our children loved... more

The motel was great, beds comfortable, rooms clean. A great place for families. Close to the main centre but in a quiet street with offstreet parking. Our kids are 10, 12 & 15 they really made use of the outside pool and the spas attached to our rooms. The staff were very friendly and arranged reservations for us and a... more

Our accommodation had been chosen for us, by family, and we were pleasantly surprised at the standard. The place was easy to find, and not far from the main drag (easily walkable), although far enough to be a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Not ever having done the motel thing before, we were more than pleased with the facilities:... more
