10/10 Exceptional

The place was beautiful. Lived up to expectations. I did check in late, and they had taped an envelope with my name to the reception door. Inside the envelope was a key and welcome letter. The letter was informative, but had no obvious notation of my room number. I was perplexed, and unsure of what to do. Thinking it may have been an oversight, I checked a couple of obviously unoccupied rooms, trying my key. This did not work. Upon re-examining the letter, I noticed two small hash marks at the top of the page in the center. There was no other information. Marks were small, but I read them as 11. I checked around and found a room 11, and this indeed was my room. It would have been helpful if they had just written the word ROOM before the hash marks as to me, the hash marks were not obvious as a room number.

Beautiful location and condition

Great accommodation. Looked very new and clean. Located a couple of kms out of town so very quiet and peaceful. Included continental breakfast. Overall rate highly. Suggestion to have background music in restaurant area to give it some atmosphere.

This is a very comfortable motel style hotel with spacious, clean, modern rooms and a limited breakfast included in the room price. It is outside Franz Josef itself so as there is no restaurant a drive into the resort town itself is required for dining. Some rooms have great views of the mountains (sadly ours wasn’t one of them!)

A little bit out of town so requires driving to restaurants and shops. Very clean and quiet. Enjoyed the continental breakfast provided.

Far and away my favorite place I stayed in New Zealand. We arrived after check-in, but they were super accommodating and kind when we called. The rooms were so spacious and nice, I wish we stayed longer. Exactly the place you want to land if you have spent a long day traveling. The breakfast was also delicious, and the folks working there were very kind and helpful when we had questions about the area.

6/10 Good

Clean property, spacious room and very nice breakfast. Our room looked out over the lawn and pond, however, because the walkway for the rooms is right next to the building, curtains need to be closed for privacy. This diminished the property and surrounding area significantly. There was no A/C, just a small fan, and the windows could not be kept open because there are no screens. Overall, we did not feel it lived up to the hype.

6/10 Good

Disappointing. The value was lacking. No A/C, which is fine in a cool climate, but no windows, or screen door to provide ventilation. The "jetted tub" was pointless, as if from the 90's. There was no visible staff, aside from the ad who checked me in, and the others providing the continental breakfast. I could smell the sewage in the bathroom. The TV was programmed to be quiet. The wifi was deplorable. At least the king twin conversion was comfortable. The only saving grace. I would never stay here again.

Enjoyable stay but a number of issues

The premium, spa bath room we had was spacious and very clean with modern furniture, but being on the edge of the property this room plus some others had no opening windows and there was no air conditioning. A fan had been provided but the room was hot and airless at night. Being on the ground floor the sliding opening door could not be left open due to security. The continental breakfast was adequate but only available between 8-9am. Though it advertised satellite TV, only the standard free view channels were available. Also be aware the property is out of town and a car needed to access restaurants.

This was a wonderful room, perfect for the stay we had. It was out of town so we used the car to get food. Breakfast was included and very nice selection of things to eat. The outside of the place does not do the inside justice. Super clean modern looking furniture etc in the room. Really relaxing night

2/10 Poor

Very disappointed. Room smelled moldy and aggravated my allergies.. but no Kleenex available. Food crumbs on chairs and floor. Counter had food smears and fridge was flooded because it was turned down to lowest setting and had defrosted all over inside..bag of defrosted food in freezer compartment that I had to clean out before using it. Drawer that held coffee and biscuits had flies flying out of it when I opened it, so we didn’t use any of it. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing..but I didn’t get the mold ring off..Even hand soap container had visible dirt on it. All in all, embarrassing terrible.
