Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is good but lacks quick dining options nearby. Rooms are clean but need some improvements. Shuttle service is friendly but limited. The dining experience was below expectations, and the facilities need more attention.
The hotel is conveniently situated by Lake Wakatipu, with easy access to downtown and public transport. The rooms, although spacious and well-equipped, had some noise issues and obstructed views due to ongoing construction. The service was responsive, and a change of room was offered promptly. The dining options were limited and not suitable for various dietary preferences. The location offers great views but lacks quick nearby food options. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were cleaner and more comfortable than I expected, and I particularly enjoyed the ensuite bathroom with his and hers sinks in the master bedroom. The view from my room was incredible, making the experience truly unforgettable.
The hotel had a unique layout, like a maze, leading me through various levels from the parking lot to the room. Despite the challenging journey, the room was equipped with great facilities, including a mini kitchen area, that was absolutely stunning.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms but with limited views from some balconies. The service needs improvement with a focus on customer experience. The location is convenient, although access to the lakefront was restricted. The dining options are simple, with room for improvement. Facilities are adequate but could be more diverse.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although showing some wear and tear with a broken window blind and tile on the balcony, offered a great view. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some staff being accommodating while others seemed moody. The location was convenient for driving to Queenstown town center, but the need for a shuttle and the cigarette smell in the unit were off-putting. The dining experience left much to be desired with false promises and staff indifference. However, the complimentary transport and beautiful lake view were highlights.
