Top hotels in Victoria
JetPark Hotel Rotorua
Everything was very good except for the continental beakfast which wasn’t. Coffee from sachets I ask you? Tiny cold croissants. Cold meats limited and no hard boiled eggs. Jam, butter, sugar, in sachets and difficult to open. In the continent this would be a low level breakfast.
