Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in had a lovely updated bathroom with a spa bath, but the shower being over the bath made it a bit challenging for those with poor balance. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being incredibly rude and slack, while others were very helpful and friendly. The location, however, was ideal for my needs, being close to shopping centers and eateries. The dining experience had its highs and lows, ranging from extremely delicious to dry and bland. The facilities were adequate but could use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered good value for money, including free wifi and a spa bath. However, there was a confusion with my booking that could have been communicated better, which was a letdown.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-appointed, making it ideal for families. However, the shower setup made it a bit tricky for those with balance issues. The service was friendly overall but could use improvement in communication skills. The location was convenient, close to shopping centers and eateries. The dining experience was a mix; some dishes were delicious while others fell short. The facilities offered met my expectations.
My stay at the Rose City Motel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were awesome, very comfortable and spacious. The service had that X factor that will bring me back; the staff, especially the blonde-headed cleaning lady, were absolutely fantastic. The location was excellent with just a 2-minute walk to the city center and nearby amenities. The dining experience was lovely, and the facilities provided ensured a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms lacked some necessary amenities like air conditioning and a hairdryer, and the reservation was a bit chaotic. On the bright side, the friendly staff made us feel welcome, and the convenient location close to the city center was a plus.
The hotel is conveniently located, very clean and tidy, offering a comfortable stay and friendly staff. However, the dining experience, especially for its price, could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with plenty of power points to charge my devices, but the cleanliness was lacking, and my reservation was messed up without any prior notice allowing me to make alternative arrangements. On the upside, the service was top-notch, with friendly staff who even walked me to my unit and set up the air conditioning for me. The location was ideal, just a 2-minute walk to the city center, restaurants, and shopping areas. Unfortunately, the dining experience was a letdown, especially considering the $40 price tag for a meal that didn't meet expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were attractively decorated in a modern style and spacious, creating a comfortable stay. However, the room's darkness was disappointing, especially given the high price tag. Despite being on a main road, the nights were surprisingly quiet, which was a plus.
The hotel had exceptionally clean and comfortable rooms, but lacked amenities like coffee/tea/milk. The service was a mix of rude behavior regarding unexpected charges and lovely, welcoming attitudes. The location was outstanding, just a 2-minute walk to the city center and close to essential amenities. The dining experience was very good, especially with well-delivered orders. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room itself was lovely, with a comfortable bed and spotlessly clean, but unfortunately, there was a noisy family with children staying in the room below. The service was very helpful and accommodating, from carrying my bags upstairs to providing a portacot for my baby. However, there was a slight misunderstanding about payment methods. The location was perfect for my needs, with easy access to the city center, although weather conditions made it a bit challenging to return to the hotel at times. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with some meals being excellent while others were disappointing. The facilities were adequate, but nothing extraordinary.
