Room was fine, smallish, but had a nice view of Mt Ngauruhoe. The bathroom was very dated and tired, in desperate need of a renovation, shower over bath unsafe... and the plastic shower curtain ... well, haven't seen one of those since the 1970s. The room seemed clean enough, but was very dusty, our iPads, the TV and surfaces literally gathered a large amount of dust during the stay. In the Ruapehu Room Restaurant, the drapes are rotten and fallen off the rails. The whole place is looking very tired and badly maintained. We were very disappointed to find the Hot Pool and Sauna are no longer operational. I had been wanting to return to the hotel since I stay there at 12 years old, now 49 it was a huge anti-climax, so much so, we checked out a day earlier and returned to Auckland to await our flights back to the Gold Coast. You can definitely tell this establishment is no longer in Kiwi hands, such a shame.
