Disliked: Staff & service
An horrific check in with zero professionalism and empathy by the receptionist. The duty manager was conveniently on a ‘break’ when I requested to see him. I was treated like a conman because I couldn’t immediately produce my credit card I had booked the accommodation with and when I did, was asked for photo ID. Last time I looked, this was NZ, not some other country. Great way to treat business guests. I could go on about lack of training, lack of respect, noisey tourist guest, closed restaurant on a Monday, no dining table or even desk to work on in the room..but frankly, I can’t be bothered. If this is Hilton at its best, I won’t be back…EVER

The Doubletree was close to the Queenstown Airport, but located in a private part of Frankton. Only about 6 minute drive to Remarkables Shopping Center and 15-20 minutes to Queenstown (may be 20 min due to road construction to Queenstown). Wonderful views of the lake and the Remarkables mountains! The service, room, hotel, and breakfast buffet were all incredible! This was my favorite stay during my 3 week trip in New Zealand. Convenient, underground garage parking available; kitchenette in-room for light cooking, very good heating/air conditioning in-room

Not Clean. But nice enough.
Dirty room, furnishings worn. I found bottle caps by the bed on the floor. Furniture fabric coming apart on bed and lounge chair. Coushions worn and dirty. Aside from that, the service was wonderful. All staff were friendly. Rooms are nice and quiet. Beautiful location on the lake, nice for a morning stroll. Easy parking (paid). Room service had Dairy Free options. Mushroom risotto -beautiful. Was charged $5.00 tray fee, weird. Overall a relaxing stay, I ended up staying another night.
