Nice room, very clean. Didn't get the room I booked but it was only for one night. No personal service.

Stayed 6 nights solo, the hotel staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. My room 210 had its own balcony which I could see the lake from. Only a 10 minute walk into town, local museum etc. Unfortunately the fridge was not working properly but I'm sure easily fixed. The QS bed was comfortable and quiet later at night so slept well also. I'd stay here again for sure.

Worst place I have ever stayed in!
The hotel is dirty. The staff are very rude! THERE IS NO HOT WATER!
The "king bed" is 2 single mattresses pushed together badly.
The room is NOT lake facing!
Completely misleading! DO NOT BOOK HERE!

It seemed like the small fridge in the room was broken, and the shower drainage didn't work well. Other than that, everything was nice and was friendly.

Disappointed...
The property was ok, the service was fine when we checked in but the communication was terrible... rang reception twice to have our bin emptied.... no one came. Also rang to ask for another blanket and we waited 20 minutes only for housekeeping to bring a sheet.... The "Extra Large double bed" is INDEED NOT. Its 2 sing beds pushed together... there is only 1 thin duvet inner (which has no cover) and about 4 sheets on the bed.
Would not stay again.

This place used to be really good but now it's gone downhill for sure! Wouldn't take much to fix up,
- Staff need to be more present, had a family next to me with their kids up and down the hallway knocking on doors till 2am.
- Paid for delux room x2 nights never got any new linen or room clean, and the bathroom still had hair in it.
- Kitchen appliances are terrible none of the ovens work and the one that semi works is disgustingly dirty you'll smoke out the whole 2nd floor if you turn it on.
- The ONLY thing this place has going for it is location.
Really sucks because I've been here before and it was really good but I don't know if it had new owners oe what but it's shocking now! And I won't be back there again

The pull out couch was not comfortable and it was not sorted out with bedding after I reminded them that it needed to be done. The community kitchen needs a revamp.

4 person room we stayed in wasn't vacuumed, mattress old. Very run down room, bathroom stand broken, toilet leaking as well as kitchenette sink leaked into the cupboard and onto carpet. After showing the manager he only said it can be fixed next day..no apology or offer to dry or clean it.
Cooking food smells also waft into your room from the main shared kitchen..a rangehood would probably help. Very sad as it's more affordable option for families but it could be so much better..

Aside from the noisy cars, the property is as described. It was basic and great for a stop over to rest our head on way to Wellington from Auckland

It was very convenient for an overnight stay. Friendly check in and clean room with its own bathroom. So necessary for older guests. TV and heating in room was good too
