“Rudest reception in NZ”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

We spent 2 nights in Te Anau and were quite satisfied with our accomodation at Comfort Inn..the only real negative was the attitude of the receptionist who grumbled on about computer problems rather than offer us a warm welcome..we arrived a little earlier than normal check in time and were told in no uncertain terms that our room was NOT ready..an enquiry about available toilets in town was met by a stern direction to the user-pay facilities when free toilets were available a short walk from the motel..come on lady..if you're not happy in your job I'm sure someone else with a personality would love to swap places!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My room was spacious and clean. Location is pretty close to the centre of town. Receptionist was polite enough however it would be better if she was friendlier.

“Wouldn't wish this place upon my worst enemies...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2011

My only tip is to avoid it. There are plenty of other places. From the second we received rude service at check-in to the moment I woke up two hours early just to get out of that room, I hated it.

“Old and small”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2010

very uncomfortable small beds. Toilets, kitchenetts are old and too small to cater for 6 people.
And long faced front desk staff

“Look at other options”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2010

The entire property is tired and in need of refurbishment. We had a 1 bedroom unit which was the decor of early 1970s. We fan heaters were noisy, lock broken on the bathroom window, leaving the room not secured. The bedroom has no window or ventilation. The wi-fi internet proved problematic and required ongoing assistance from the manager. Upon our return from our day out at Milford Sound, we found our room hadn't been made up and when the manager was contacted she said "oh I forgot to go upstairs today". While we were able to get replacement towels, it seemed a bother to get the rubbish removed and nothing else was done. Given the numerous other properties at a comparable price, this property should be by passed.
