We were in the deluxe family room which was huge and spotless. It seemed like it was renovated recently. Very comfy and the air conditioning worked great.
Breakfast buffet had a good variety and the staff there were so helpful. They were accommodating and kind throughout the whole stay.
Location was central and felt safe. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice hotel. They were remodeling with new carpets and initially the new carpet had a very bad smell but once we got over that 8t was all good.
Breakfast was also nice.

The people are good there, all of the staff are frendly and the breakfast was good. However the room itself is not good, the bed sheet was too old and looks like there were no quilt at all. The bed matress protector was used as quilt.

Staff was delightfully helpful, definitely went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The Premium King rooms were exceptionally nice; the Standard room had a more outdated TV and lacked some of the upgrades of the premium rooms, but that is to be expected. Amy at the front desk was particularly engaging and helpful when we had an issue getting the Premium room TVs to stream what we wanted to watch.

We loved the hotel. The location was great and plenty of parking spots. The room was clean and beds and pillows were comfortable. The windows overlooked the restaurant but it was not that loud. The breakfast was great many options to chose from. There was no coffee maker in the room.

As usual the staff and hotel were awesome especially as the power in Te Anau had been off for over 24hrsdue to the storms and just came back on as we arrived. They were fantastic under pressure. A+++ to all at the hotel.
