"It was satusfactory, but overpriced. An issue with a stained carpet was not adequately dealt with. Basic, no special feel to it ascompared with other New Zealand hotels we stayed at. Expected more, especially at Christmas! Didnt feel luxurious. Adequate for an overnight. Lake view blocked with buildings with ads on then. Really just a peep view. "

"This is a great option for larger families and this is our second time staying here. I've taken one star off for not having air conditioning as the upstairs gets very hot. Unfortunately they don't have AC to keep the bedrooms cool. The Doors and windows don't have any fly screens so you can't leave them open as you'd be swamped by bugs and mosquitos if you leave the doors and windows open to cool the place down. They need to install AC in all bedrooms rooms and living rooms and or put screens...
