City Suites Tauranga
10/10 Excellent
"A/C worked well, the man we dealt with was exceptionally helpful & friendly, location is quiet & there are several shops, cafes & resturants easily walkable"
"Overall my husband and I enjoy our stays, this has been our fourth, it is good that the renovations in the lobby are complete. One suggestion for happy hour though, it would be nice to have bar snack options, like a charcuterie board, bread and dips or a bowl of fries..."
"The lake view was very beautiful and peaceful. The unit was very clean, spacious and fully equipped. It was great for a family. The restaurant onsite was very good. The spa pool needed a good clean as it wasn't very inviting."
"Excellent service and a really nice room. Great plave to stay and they recommended a great restaurant Dixie Browns a hundred or so meters away as are the hot pools. Highly recommended. "
