Hair
Average place - get what you pay for. Comfy stay. Small room. Had to remove hairs from the bathroom but not the end of the world for the price….

Comfortable
Motel was easy to find with parking. Checkin was easy and quick. Room was very clean but not updated, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Personally as long as it's clean I am good, and it was. The only thing less than comfortable was how quick we ran out of hot water in the shower. My husband and I couldn't shower back to back without the second person quickly running out of hot water - even trying to take quick ones.

We have stayed in other motels in this chain and this one was very similar to the others in terms of layout and facilities. The slight downsides of the Rotorua one were a feeling that it needed a little TLC to smarten it up a bit. Also at other Bella Vistas it was possible to get change for the washers and dryers but not here - had to go to the local shop.

Needed somewhere to stay close to the hospital and was blown away by how good this place was at such a great price. Is situated on a main road so traffic noise but the room itself was lovely with a comfy bed and very clean. The staff were just so lovely. I’d certainly not hesitate to stay there again.
