The room and view were excellent although we had to substitute the first night because of repairs. The elevators were under construction and finicky. Staff were excellent

Location, fireplace and views were great. Bird poop on the sofa wasn’t.

Great location. 5 minute walk from city center. Great views of the lake and mountains. Excellant staff. Would highly recommend.

Great hotel, everything is new and the rooms are comfortable. Location is OK but not to close to town.

For the price we got and with basic breakfast included it was ok, it is not in middle town but is 5 minute walking! Besides it has free parking!!

We had a great experience at Peppers Beacon. The location was great--we could walk downtown, yet a little away from the noise. We had a garden-view 2BR but the hotel was right across the street from the lake so it was just a few steps if we wanted to see the lake. Very nice room for the money thanks to [...].

After driving up to the hotel and seeing the rooms, I was so excited after a long days drive and our first night in New Zealand from the US. The rooms and views and location are great. This could by no means though could make up for the worst night sleep I have ever had in any hotel room I have ever stayed in. The room we were in was adjoining to another suite. The guests in the room were so loud during the whole night and were also smoking (and the smoke literally was coming into our room under the adjoining door). I tried to repeatedly (at least 30 times and left 5 messages too) called the front desk, which I was told was staffed with with a special night time person. I understand that it's not the hotel's fault that the guest were loud, but it is their responsiblity to correct this action during the night. They were very polite the next morning when we checked out and was told they would email me and try to rectify the situation. Two weeks almost past and I had to call my online travel company I used and they finally gave me a 50% refund, which while is appreciated, does by no means make up for a lost nights sleep when you are on vacation. Do not stay here unless you want to take the change of hearing your neighbors.
