- Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Getting pretty shabby and slack it’s attitude . Our room only half serviced and had to ask repeatedly for stuff.

- Liked: Staff & service
Noisy all throughout the night. Not perfect for people who need to rest. I felt sick having to be constantly be awaken by drunk people in the hallway, doing nothing but being drunk until three in the morning. Wish the business minded this matter too despite Queenstown being “a party place”. What happened at 3 onwards? Cleaners took over, pouring bottles from bin to bin, loud enough to wake all my senses up each time like no one sleeps there. Every move was loud. Hate to say I had been warned! I checked out at 5 in the morning and stayed by the wharf for the rest of my short stay. Also the toilets had so limited space, no bins and weren’t very clean.

Stay elsewhere
Avoid staying here. Very dirty room, bathroom, they didn’t even take out the garbage - it was full! We had to go down and get towels from the front desk. The windows were left open so when we arrived there were flies in the room. No worth saving a little money - go elsewhere to stay.
