The place is fairly basic but clean, tidy and comfortable. WIFI was good.
The fridge did freeze everything overnight though which was a little annoying as we didn’t change any settings. Otherwise good and close to the pub.

The accommodation is sort of ok, what you expect. We had a terrible stay, due to a guest next door left on his tv all night, no stop since we checked in till we checked out, not one minute break. In the evening it was movies, very loud, during the night it was music, very loud. paper thin walls, you could hear every beat. I had to move to an other bed further away from that wall, but still... did not sleep all night. Ear plugs, etc, not much use. The problem was there is no reception after hours, and we were afraid to bang on the wall, not knowing what kind of 'guests' are in the other room. We were afraid they would damage the car or such. This kind of disturbance on this level never happened to me, (flew 11 million kms, 120+ countries), but in a case like this you would normally call reception. We were just unlucky. You pay a fortune to come all the way to see Mt Cook, and you cannot sleep the night before.

Good value for price paid. Comfortable rooms. Communal ablutions clean. Perhaps some milk in the fridge to go with coffee sachets?

The motel was convient to many places within walking distance. It was not sound insulated so it was a bit noisy. Felt a little cramped for space. The front desk hours were sporadic. We used the laundry but it was just one washer/dryer for a large number of potential residents.

This motel is quite old, basic facility is there. They have daily room servicing but no standard procedure, like milk was given only once, partially tidy up stuff, curtain was opened without any privacy concept.
Location is ok, Four Square is just opposite with various restaurants in walking distance. Parking is ok too. It is a bit pricy at this quality.

I liked the price per night at this motel and it wasn't far from Mt Cook NP and some nice lakes. There are restaurants and grocery stores a short walk away.

Although relatively close to Mount Cook and well kept, everything was dated. The sink fixtures actually still have separate hot and cold taps! Thankfully the hotel did be sure to have drain plugs in each sink so that the hot and cold water could be mixed into warm. Twizel is far from anything else, so maybe bring your own food.
