Millennium Hotel Rotorua

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good
"There were some issue. The WiFi wasn't working in the rooms. It's was an ISP issue so I can't blame the hotel. The AC in my first room wasn't working but they moved me rooms right away. The room was awesome (the renovated club room). They had everything I could ask for. Shaving cream, personal grooming kit. Derek with guest services was amazing throughout my stay. All and all, I would recommend this hotel."
