It’s an expensive hotel that hasn’t been maintained to reflect the price. Noise between rooms (we did call reception at 3am for them to help with our noisy neighbours but nothing was done). The rooms are basic and dated. If it wasn’t so expensive I wouldn’t think much of it but the $$ doesn’t reflect the standard. To be clear it’s not a terrible place but it’s just not a fair price. As people who travel to Queenstown often, we know the options out there from basic to luxury and this fits in the middle of standards but higher price end. In saying that - location is nice. Great Lake views and a nice flat walk to town. The dining options are great and the breakfast buffet is wonderful. Dinner and drinks at the bar is always nice too with the views. There are renovations happening so that will be welcomed.

Very nice hotel with great views. The staff are exceptionally friendly. My sister and I were upgraded from a standard double to a suite which was very nice. It had a small patio area just off the living area. The hotel is in the process of remodeling but it was not intrusive. It is a short 5 minute walk into the downtown wharf area. There is also a bus stop for the airport right in front of the hotel. There is also a bar and restaurant on the top floor which is great place to relax with views over the lake especially during rainy weather

Hey Expedia why did you ask me to review a hotel I didn’t stay in. The hotel let you know 4 weeks before my check in day that they couldn’t accommodate me due to restorations. It took you another 2 weeks to try and find me an alternative hotel. And then didn’t give me the equivalent facilities. Poor form.

It was great to be upgraded to a Suite upon check-in, and the staff were very friendly. The room was a little dated however with a very large shared balcony. The restaurant/bar and the breakfast restaurant were great too. Paid parking was close by, and the hotel is only a 5-10 minute walk from the center of town, which was very convenient. Beds were clean and comfy, and the heaters heated our rooms quite well.

We’ve stayed a few times and I can’t fault its location - which is why we choose it. Out of the town chaos but an easy, flat walk along the lake to get into town. Beautiful views of the lake from the rooms too. It’s old and rooms need an update (they are actually doing this right now to half the hotel and I imagine the other half will be done soon too). The restaurants are great, lovely food and amazing views. Staff were hit and miss with their kindness. The man on reception is AMAZING and so accomodating, I don’t know his name but he was lovely vs a woman we had at one point who was much less accomodating and helpful. Same with dinner we had some really kind servers and then some grumpy ones. The other confusing point is the EVT system. No one really seems to acknowledge it or know how it works. I appreciate we booked through a third party but we’ve had no issues at other Rydges ro use our benefits (but not earn any points). We found mixed understandings but again the man on reception was happy to work through any issues and we appreciate that. Overall we like it here and hope to stay again once it’s renovated and refreshed as a QT
