The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were not clean and got warm during the night, but they were spacious and included a parking spot. The service was excellent with a 100% refund offered. The location was convenient but had some dated units. The dining options were good but limited due to pre-paid accommodation. Overall, a mix of pros and cons.

The hotel had a lovely warm and big room with a view, but it was very outdated with 1970s decor. The outside furniture was not worth the money, and it could have been cleaned before reopening.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating when we needed extra space to store bikes overnight. They moved us to a different room to avoid the inconvenience of a truck parked in the doorway.

The hotel surprised us by changing our room to one where our motorbikes were undercover overnight. It was centrally located and convenient for winter travelers, though not ideal for those traveling in the summer.

The dining experience was pretty unremarkable, with only some food options left and not being informed in advance about dining restrictions due to a large group. The food was tasty but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for travelers. The family unit rooms are in need of a makeover, but they were ready for us upon arrival, albeit basic. Carrying luggage up the stairs was a minor inconvenience. The service was mixed, with some staff being unobliging at the bar while others were nice. The location is ideal for a quick stopover between Wanaka and Christchurch, close to everything you might need and with friendly staff. The dining options were limited, pushing us to eat elsewhere, but the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is conveniently located and spacious but needs some updates. Although it was uncomfortable at times due to noise, the central location allows for easy access to Mount Cook. The dining hours might not suit early travelers, and the service experience was marred by issues regarding payment.
