10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Great breakfast. Friendly staff"

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Loved the room size even as a studio it was spacious. Loved the view. Comfortable bed and linens. Shame about the lack of cutlery in the room. 1 tea spoon. At least put 2,for a double room and a knife. there’s no facilities ( no bar or cafe on the property) the market doesn’t have cutlery or plate - if you wanted to do any cheese board or a pot of yoghurt or anything you could not find a utensil. The guy at reception we named the yes man and the lady that did mornings the no lady. We stayed 4 nights. The room was clean."

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. We enjoyed terrific views from the 2 bed apartment on the top floor. Friendly staff, comfortable beds etc. Would pay the extra and book an underground parking spot as tricky to find free street parking (also meant you were saved de-icing the car every morning!) Our room got quite cold (perhaps too floor not well insulated?) which mean we had heaters running most of the time. Living area for 2 bed apartment very small, and only a tiny couch that barely fit 2 people, so if you had 4 adults it would quite impractical. Electric blankets on beds made it cozy for sleeping."

Mercure Queenstown Resort

8/10 Good

"The view from our room was to die for. The hotel is elevated and so even though it’s only about a kilometre or two into town, it’s a bit of a trek down a steep icy road to get to the lake. The room said it had 2 double beds but they were actually 2 queen beds which was a nice surprise. The big let down about this restaurant were the breakfasts. As there are no cafes nearby, we thought we would eat at the hotel buffet for brekkie. Again, the views were to die for. Everything else was pretty poor. Every time we went to the buffet something was empty. There were no cups to get coffee and no glasses to get cold drinks. We mentioned something to the front desk and were told it was hard to get good staff. Actually, the staff were working non-stop, almost running to do everything that needed to be done. However, there was only one person on the floor and one person at check-in. We said we would give it a go the next day, but unfortunately it was even worse. The issue seems to be understaffing, not the staff themselves. Spending about $175 on breakfast over 2 days, we were sorely disappointed. I also mentioned on checkout that we had had a lovely stay but were sorely disappointed in the breakfasts. The lady just said, ok!"
