Amazing views and good selection of dining options. The room we had was in the original part of the hotel and located under the staircase which was not ideal as the stairs creek. Otherwise a great spot at the base of Mt Cook.

4/10 Fair

Disabled room was terrible for able bodied, no vanity, tiny sink, one bedside table, no hooks in bathroom. Limited ambiance in buffet dinning area. We ordered a bottle of wine at 9.30pm, were told we couldn't take it out of the bar to our room after 9pm. We sat to drink in bar, then the staff started vacuuming and cleaning around us, weird! Building structure is amazing, fit out is old (not in a good way), needs an interior designer to take a good look at it and soften the furnishings etc. General comment is was a solid 3 Star at 4/5 star pricing, no show stoppers but plenty of small things, felt like management might be absent?
