We had a wonderful two nights here. Very close to a lot of interesting sights in and around Rotorua. You certainly smell some of the sulfur from the thermal springs outside, but it's not bothersome at all once inside. Actually, I thought it sort of added to the experience! Don't miss out on the chance to hike in the Redwoods close by. Didn't get a chance to meet Amanda directly, but she was very helpful in contact through the app. Would stay again!
