Was alright for location just a walk to central town and has a good view, A motel is a motel nothing special like a hotel. Pricing was a little expensive it’s New Zealand expensive but it’s cheaper than most of the other hotels in the same area as it should be. Cleanliness was good but I did notice a bit of mould build up along the ceiling closest to the window frame. Facilities were spot on kitchen, bathroom tea and coffee provided for free and a ironing board in the closet overall not bad. Would stay here again for the convenience

Old Motel, needs improvement”

Location is very good, within walking distance to centre of town, and Skyride etc. Also good view of the lake from the porch. This motel is old, though the bathroom is recently renovated. But the rest of the room could use a renovation. Under staffed (post COVID recovery problem), so beds were not made and towels although changes was just left on the couch. We stayed multiple days, and one day the room was not cleaned by the time we got back in late afternoon.

Beds were really hard, oven located in a way that made getting trays out unsafe, light came into the room through the kitchen and bathroom as it must have been adjacent to other rooms or corridor. Queenstown is expensive but this room was not good value for money. On the plus side the location is great and the views of the lake beautiful!

I booked 2 rooms for 5 travellers. Again, towel is dirty and comes with black stain. Shower pressure is also low. Warmer is again not that warm. Most importantly, the internet is totally useless, i.e, a third world country internet access. Overall, it looks seriously old inside although the management tried its best to make good of its exterior. Would not recommend as there were better choices out there with the same price range per night. Hope the management will consider make good of its interior too.
