Millennium Hotel Rotorua
Nice place to stop. Only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer and enjoy the spa facilities. Room was clean and comfortable.

Pullman Rotorua
While I pay quite a significant of money, I do not expect the toilet and the bathroom to be apart the inside of the room. Both my partner and I find it weird that while doing No.2, the rest of the room could smell it..... it's awkward.
