4 out of 5

Good hotel for a one night stay.

Pros: Parking, friendly staff, good beds and coffee making facilities.
Cons: Net curtains to let light in but keep some privacy.
Location: I used it as a stop off for a visit to Mount Cook. The blue lakes and the mountains with snow on are spectacular and well worth a visit.
Good, comfortable room, but the view I had was of a car park. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of hot water. Coffee making and TV good but a limit on wi-fi usage. I was able to park my car directly outside. No privacy if you have the curtains open, no net curtains to orotect your modesty. Everything worked and I slept well, nice and quiet.k

Günstig gelegenes Hotel in der Nähe des Mt. Cook

Location: Das Hotel befindet sich in direkter Nähe des Highways zum Mt. Cook und ist damit optimal gelegen.
Das Hotel ist sehr großzügig angelegt mit ausreichend Parkraum und einer parkähnlichen Grünanlage. Die Einrichtung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das Restaurant ist qualitativ und preislich ok.
