For the price, this place was good for an overnight stop. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable - we got a great night's sleep. A bit basic amenity-wise. The glacier viewpoint further along the road is very good. Book a table for dinner at one of the village eateries if you want to dine early.

Room is clean and spacious, including working kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals, and a big bathroom. Friendly staff. Worth mentioning that the motel is located between the highway and a train line, which can be noisy at times.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Clean room but the whole place needs updating, and sooner rather than later. Small tweaks would improve it : better in room kitchen, there was an unsafe tap; tidy up the grounds, we had a view of an abandoned motel; get a new sign up. And finally, consider opening up the on site restaurant. There is a fantastic view of Mount Cook from here, the motel should make more of it. I wouldn't recommend staying here in it's present state.

The room was clean and the staff courteous and helpful, but the room and hotel were quite basic. No aircon was a big negative. Also no microwave or bowls/utensils, but the staff did provide use of.

Toilet seat wasn't attached.TV wouldn't go Said it was a hotel but no restaurant and no toaster or plates in room. No milk. No spare roll of toilet paper and we ran out. Curtains had broken hooks and weren't attached properly. Grounds very untidy with long grass and weeds. We definately won't be staying again.

Felt derelict, arrived to the car park with lots of weeds. Checked in and quite simply given a room key (no introduction). Walls not soundproof at all, could hear banging doors lots! No privacy in the room - curtains had to be closed as no netting to pull across. Mould in the bathroom and dirty crockery in the room (only 1 glass). Only soup spoons - no normal spoons! Would avoid at all costs and won’t be returning!
