Like: Room Size, the view from the room, the amenities, Few of the staffs were really nice and freindly. Location is walkable to the key areas. Dislike: Cleanliness (room floors were seemed vacuumed on first day we checked-in and after we checked-out. And we stayed for a week.), Some staffs were careless (not friendly and some quite sarcastic when asked for assistance). Had Air-Con issues and took 3 days to get sorted.

Great but no parking
Nice comfortable hotel with great lobby area for dining and walkable to town. Only downside was they did not have parking for us even though it was listed as an amenity. We had to park on the street

We arrived at the property 90 mins before the check-in time of 3PM and were told to come back at the official check-in time. We went for lunch and were back at the property at 4:15PM and our room was still not ready! So, almost 2 hours after arriving at the hotel - we still didn't have a room. The front desk tried to make-up for this by offering us a drink voucher...the same thing they were offering all other guests. So not really an apology. Then, the room itself was small and the darkening shade didn't work at all. I do not recommend this property to anyone. So many other great places to stay in Queenstown.

Overall rating is 3 due to multiple issues experienced during my stay. Location and moderate cost are primary reasons for a higher rating. Issues: The hotel does not seem well organized. First, my room was not ready at the published 3pm checkin. I actually arrived around noon, and reception kindly reiterated that check in was not til 3 pm. I was understanding as this is standard across hotels. Problem was when I returned at 3pm to check in, my room was still not ready. That was frustrating and annoying as i had patiently waited for hours, followed up, and expected hotel staff to honor the policy and be prompt. Second, day 2 i got locked out of room due to checkin error. I had to return to reception to resolve. Then I came back to a room that had not been housekept; due to be checkin error, the housekeeping staff thought the room was vacant. Third, i called reception to advise that housekeeping skipped my room, and i needed clean towels. I had to wait 2 hours for the towels. It wasn't until my 2nd follow up call that reception had apparently forgot my request. Fourth, it's a bit difficult to circumvent this in Queenstown, but the hotel sits atop a steep hill. Was not fun to have to climb the hill to the hotel, but at least it was good exercise! Major pro: hotel is less then 10 minutes from the central waterfront and social activities. Overall, the most disappointing service I've experienced in a hotel in decades.

Up and down a hill to reach town center otherwise great location. Parking unavailable as lot was full. Very difficult to find parking in immediate area they said due to New Zealand marathon weekend. No drawers or area to place luggage so no ability to unpack at this hotel

Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. Eat in options are convenient and great quality. Hotel is an easy walk into town where you can explore queenstown and experience the wilderness. There is a local bus stop just around the corner making it easy to access the airport and other towns such as Arrowtown. Hotel is very clean with every modern convenience you can think off.
