Sink didn’t work for two day stay. Balcony door lock didn’t work. No amenities and the room was basic and dated. Charged extra for parking. For almost $500 a night NZ$ it was not what I was expecting.

The property is undergoing renovations, so will only get better. What I liked: - Bus stops right out front, so easy and inexpensive transfer from the airport. - Walkable to town, but far enough away to be quiet. - Decent buffet breakfast options - Nice view of the lake - Front desk staff were extremely helpful in reconfirming any tours we had booked. - Nice little beach\park area across the street to enjoy. We had the one bedroom suite - definitely tired and dated, but was still comfortable. No AC, so opened the windows at night which was fine.

Generally good, very walkable to the restaurants, bars and shops. Spectacular views from the restaurant and Bar. Drawbacks, no AC and if you leave the windows open, the road is very noisy in the morning and the trees parcially block the lake. All that said, i would stay there again.

Would never stay again

The hotel was sub par in every way. Rude and combative front desk manager when I told him we had no water at pressure at all in our shower. Room was dirty when we checked in. Clearly regional managers are unaware how tattered and underwhelming this property has become. Very disappointing on so many levels. Too bad. We expected to like it
