Overall all was good. Did not like the $15 parking fee nightly. Fortunately found a park on street. Needs totally refurbishment but bed was very comfortable and it was toasty warm. Wonderful meals also.

Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Close to Town. Walkable to everything in town. The room was quaint and cozy. The resort is older than some of the newer resorts nicely maintained. The lobby and restaurant has great views. No elevator available to some of the rooms so you will need to carry your luggage. They do have porters to assist. I would recommend this hotel and would return.

This lovely property was very convenient to Queenstown, had beautiful views, and staff were friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed an open balcony space on the lounge floor where we could have a drink and sit with friends. All around, an excellent choice for us.

Not the best value for your money.

Property was very tired and needs an up grade, especially for the price of the rooms. We booked 2 rooms with king size beds, and got both rooms with 2 double beds. The toilet broke in one room, but they couldn’t move us because the hotel was full. Breakfast buffet was okay, but much better value to walk into town and buy something there. Lake view was very small, not at all what I expected from the photos.

Great views.

Great hotel in a great spot. We paid for a lake view and so glad we did - view is spectacular. If you have an issue with hills it is quite a steep one from the hotel into the centre of town and back but we were fine.

You could hear showers and toilets flushing from neighboring rooms, not very well insulated. It was somewhat difficult to navigate the different levels and "blocks" that comprise the hotel. The lake view was beautiful.

Tired looking 3 star hotel at best!

Disappointing from the start. Our room was not available even though we checked in on time. The room we were given instead was absolutely roasting hot and dirty. The toilet still had paper down it! The second room was better but tv remote didn’t work. Breakfast was very basic. This was the most expensive hotel of our trip - and by far the worst. Would not recommend this hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room had no air conditioning and was like a sauna! Staff provided a fan, but definitely a disadvantage not to have aircon. Corridors and lift could have used a vacuum. Although our room was clean. There is no signage and the layout of the hotel is difficult to navigate without pointers. We spent sometime trying to find our way around. The private hot tub was nice but a very basic facility.

Location is great for walking into the town and the view of the lake from the room was nice. The staff were helpful and friendly but the room was dated. There was no air con in room but a fan and the window barely closed with the latch which was loose. Overall it suited me for the location but the rooms could benefit from updating.

Issue with Expedia: Was promised a room with a view but when reached property, there were no room with view available. Had to spend lot of time talking with the Hotel and then with Expedia executive before we can check-in. Ultimately received a refund of $60 and had to take whatever was available. Issue with Hotel: No air conditioning there was a table fan which couldn't cover whole room. Bathroom was not stocked , floor was not clean or vaccumed Coffee maker was filthy. Overall staff was good and very helpful but the room we got was terrible. We trust Expedia when we do booking so Expedia should have some accountability when we don't get what we are promised or have paid for.
