Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was an empty wine glass on the window, sill, the toilet was badly stained ( my daughter didn't even want to use it). The person who took me to my room didn't introduce himself or let us know if we needed help and who to call incase. I felt like we were rushed to our room and we felt like an inconvenience because he had to come out from behind the bar to take us, too our room. WiFi reception was very slow. The bed was comfortable and the location was nice as it was just around the corner from warehouse.

They had us booked in for the wrong night and ended up putting us in another room. It was very cold and no warmth. I had to take a blanket off another bed because the room was so cold. Cheap with no value.

Simple basic accommodation option
The accommodation is situated next door to the pub, where you check in. The hotel manager was friendly and brought me a second heater for my room without needing to ask (on a very cold winter night). The rooms are very basic as expected, but attached bathroom and shower were fine for my needs (although the shower had very low pressure). A good option for a quick overnight stay if passing through Central Otago.
