Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central
5/5 Excellent
"Room was amazing with great views. However the 2 bedrooms get really hot since there is no AC in the bedrooms and the sun is super hot with the windows. The dinning room area had AC. Service of the staff was great and restaurant below was excellent too!"
