Very nice hotel with great views. The staff are exceptionally friendly. My sister and I were upgraded from a standard double to a suite which was very nice. It had a small patio area just off the living area. The hotel is in the process of remodeling but it was not intrusive. It is a short 5 minute walk into the downtown wharf area. There is also a bus stop for the airport right in front of the hotel. There is also a bar and restaurant on the top floor which is great place to relax with views over the lake especially during rainy weather

The property is undergoing renovations, so will only get better. What I liked: - Bus stops right out front, so easy and inexpensive transfer from the airport. - Walkable to town, but far enough away to be quiet. - Decent buffet breakfast options - Nice view of the lake - Front desk staff were extremely helpful in reconfirming any tours we had booked. - Nice little beach\park area across the street to enjoy. We had the one bedroom suite - definitely tired and dated, but was still comfortable. No AC, so opened the windows at night which was fine.

Generally good, very walkable to the restaurants, bars and shops. Spectacular views from the restaurant and Bar. Drawbacks, no AC and if you leave the windows open, the road is very noisy in the morning and the trees parcially block the lake. All that said, i would stay there again.

Would never stay again

The hotel was sub par in every way. Rude and combative front desk manager when I told him we had no water at pressure at all in our shower. Room was dirty when we checked in. Clearly regional managers are unaware how tattered and underwhelming this property has become. Very disappointing on so many levels. Too bad. We expected to like it

Was very disappointed with the room. For almost $500 per night I would expect 5 star accomodations. No air con ( was 30deg in Queenstown) doors falling of the tv cabinet, fridge was leaking, only drinking water was the tap in the bathroom, couldn't find the jug because it was stuffed be hind the TV, paint is peeling of the base boards and the tiles are cracked in the bathroom and also there is no toilet brush. We have stayed in rooms for half the price and the facility have been a hell of a lot better. To be completely honest I feel completely ripped off. I understand that the place is being refitted now but your price doesn't reflect the conditions of the rooms.Wont be saying again.
