  "You get what you pay for"

  Compared to the other motels that we have stayed at in Rotorua, Malones would be our least favourite.

  - WI-FI was free but you needed to go to the office everytime you needed to login and it was only valid for 4 hours at a time (other motels just have a password in the room and its unlimited)

  - Daily room servicing was poor, our beds weren't made only the covers pulled up(my 10 year old would have done a better job), a couple of dishes weren't washed, there was a sign above the sink saying excessive dishes would not be washed, we only had 2 bowls and a few utensils, which I did not think was excessive (other motels would clean the room kitchen and as well as make all the beds)

  - Spa was turned off at 8pm, I thought that was the whole point in having a spa in your own courtyard to have a spa whenever you wanted (other motels give the customers the choice when they can have a spa they... don't turn off the spas)

  - TV reception was poor, some channels you couldn't even get

  The only good thing about Malones was there was a nice friendly elderly gentleman that greeted us when we arrived. So although they were cheap, you do get what you pay for, and We unfortunately won't be coming back to Malones as we felt restricted (similar to boarding school) when what we really wanted to do was to relax, forget about the daily grind of life and have a bit of fun.

  Next time we will spend that extra $20 bucks to make sure we get what we want.

  "Enjoyable stay"

  Really enjoyed our stay at Malones motel, was very suprised about the "fill your own spa" in the bathroom, expected it to be just a little spa bath but ended up being an actual full sized spa bath in the bathroom which was lovely. Very comfortable and the staff were lovely. Perfect location for getting around rotorua!

  "Fun in the tub"

  The unit was clean and spacious for our crew. The hot tub was especially enjoyed by my family. We had to ask for extra place settings as the unit was only set up for four.

  "Escape"

  My husband and I 'escaped' from the Auckland race, to Rotorua and enjoyed our stay at Malones. It was just what we needed. We would've liked to stay two night, but due to a family crisis we couldn't make the first night. However, we perservered and had our time together in Rotorua. The room was clean and welcoming, and the spa pool just wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at Malones again in the future, and recommend it to our friends.
