Nice but room to be fantastic.

Room is Generous size and lovely shower only bathroom. However room was noisy and bright light shines through curtains 24/7. You can slide a door across the bedroom section to elimate light however room becomes extremely warm and stuffy making sleeping a bit difficult. I was in a room facing the gravel carpark might not have the same issues with lake facing room. Staff are lovely.

Great Hotel! Property is beautiful! Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room layouts are efficient and spacious! Loved the views from our window of the beautiful lake and mountains! My only sentiment is the breakfast area is not very open. They need fresh air and windows!

Disliked: Staff & service
An horrific check in with zero professionalism and empathy by the receptionist. The duty manager was conveniently on a ‘break’ when I requested to see him. I was treated like a conman because I couldn’t immediately produce my credit card I had booked the accommodation with and when I did, was asked for photo ID. Last time I looked, this was NZ, not some other country. Great way to treat business guests. I could go on about lack of training, lack of respect, noisey tourist guest, closed restaurant on a Monday, no dining table or even desk to work on in the room..but frankly, I can’t be bothered. If this is Hilton at its best, I won’t be back…EVER
