Wow there are so many wonderful things to say about Holiday Inn Express and Suites Queenstown. We stayed there in May 2023 for 7 nights and here are the highlights: * We had a corner suite on the top floor which had a panoramic window and the snow-capped mountain views from both windows was spectacular! Aside from the stunning views at all times, the room was also clean. * The downstairs dining / lounge area near the lobby was large and great and a beautiful space! There were 2 fireplaces on either side - one had these 2 tall comfy armchairs and the other had more seating. Many of the tables had power to charge devices and you could hang in this downstairs area day or night, rather than just your room. After a long day trip to Milford Sound it was so convenient to just sit in one of the armchairs in front of the fireplace with a hot meal, watching sport. * Our stay included buffet breakfast which was nice and the staff were friendly. * The location of the hotel was convenient as it was a relatively short downhill walk to the centre of town and you soon got used to the uphill walk back to the hotel. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! On our return back to Queenstown a week later we stayed elsewhere in a different part of town, but it just wasn't as lovely as the Holiday Inn.

Definitely one of the best hotel breakfasts ever. I tried the hotel restaurant for dinner my first evening and the baked salmon was inedible, so I didn't try any other meals there. The standard of cleanliness was high. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet, albeit surprisingly small. First time in many years (ever?) to not have a microwave in a Holiday Inn. Fitness room equipment was minimal, again a surprise in comparison with other Holiday Inns.

We arrived at the property 90 mins before the check-in time of 3PM and were told to come back at the official check-in time. We went for lunch and were back at the property at 4:15PM and our room was still not ready! So, almost 2 hours after arriving at the hotel - we still didn't have a room. The front desk tried to make-up for this by offering us a drink voucher...the same thing they were offering all other guests. So not really an apology. Then, the room itself was small and the darkening shade didn't work at all. I do not recommend this property to anyone. So many other great places to stay in Queenstown.

Overall rating is 3 due to multiple issues experienced during my stay. Location and moderate cost are primary reasons for a higher rating. Issues: The hotel does not seem well organized. First, my room was not ready at the published 3pm checkin. I actually arrived around noon, and reception kindly reiterated that check in was not til 3 pm. I was understanding as this is standard across hotels. Problem was when I returned at 3pm to check in, my room was still not ready. That was frustrating and annoying as i had patiently waited for hours, followed up, and expected hotel staff to honor the policy and be prompt. Second, day 2 i got locked out of room due to checkin error. I had to return to reception to resolve. Then I came back to a room that had not been housekept; due to be checkin error, the housekeeping staff thought the room was vacant. Third, i called reception to advise that housekeeping skipped my room, and i needed clean towels. I had to wait 2 hours for the towels. It wasn't until my 2nd follow up call that reception had apparently forgot my request. Fourth, it's a bit difficult to circumvent this in Queenstown, but the hotel sits atop a steep hill. Was not fun to have to climb the hill to the hotel, but at least it was good exercise! Major pro: hotel is less then 10 minutes from the central waterfront and social activities. Overall, the most disappointing service I've experienced in a hotel in decades.

Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. Eat in options are convenient and great quality. Hotel is an easy walk into town where you can explore queenstown and experience the wilderness. There is a local bus stop just around the corner making it easy to access the airport and other towns such as Arrowtown. Hotel is very clean with every modern convenience you can think off.
