Absolutely fabulous! Definitely the cleanest hotel I've ever been to, with the most helpful, friendly staff. They knew my friend and I right away and did anything they could to help us with luggage, traveling other places, linens, what to do in Queenstown, etc. The other customers were also friendly.
