Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent
"Asked for a water view and got it albeit a bay rather than the main lake. It was still a water view. So very convenient to the CBD, just a walk down a hill and through a park and you are there. Comfy bed, laundry in the bathroom. Staff attended to broken grate in shower promptly although we asked about a heat pack and they didn’t come back to us. Needed to phone externally as no reference in house on how to phone reception. Paid parking was worth it."
