"Spa/pool was unavailable after few days during our stay. Expedia perks mentioned in the itenerary was not given/available in the room. There should be a communication between Expedia and the hotel, e.g. perks for Expedia member such as beverage for 2."
"Breakfast was fantastic. Location excellent.
Negative was I tried to get soy milk for the complimentary tea and coffee and they would have charged me but it should be complimentary. Not everyone can have dairy milk."
"Spur of the moment booking. Absolutely made the best choice! Location is a short and fairly easy walk to town. Slight hill but nothing too major.
Check in was amazing, we were so well looked after by the lovely lady at reception, top notch service. Room was huge! Had every heating amenity you could think of!
Beautiful view from the room. They have a spa that overlooks the lake and Remarkables that you can book at the front desk, ask for extra towels.
Only slight downsides, sink in bathroom took ages to drain, shower head and pressure just okay. King bed was two singles pushed together so not the most comfortable bed but wasn’t unbearable.
Parking was only $10 a night and you can pay by hour for extra time in the room up until midday.
Would definitely stay here again, would probably just get 2 singles or a room with 2 beds."
"This property is stunning and luxurious. Staff are awesome and friendly. The food was devine, we had the breakfast and tried the set menu for dinner. Get in early for your spa bookings. Stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my partners birthday, not somewhere that I’d normally stay due to cost but was so worth every penny."
"Parking is a real issue. There is a parking garage for the same cost as the outside parking, but it can be hard to see. The free on street parking is very limited. In addition, there was a wood burning fireplace that spread smoke smell throughout our entire building from basement to 2nd floor. It actually made our room hazy and irritated our throats. The smoke was an issue for all three nights. The hotel is also a solid 15 minute drive to downtown Queenstown."
