Reviewer Type: Extended Group

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Great location and setup of the rooms

Negative: Travelling in winter seems the rooms are less occupied. Being locked up they smelt quite musty and would have benefitted from airing for 24 hours prior to our arrival.

Reviewer Type: Extended Group

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: It was very close from the Fox glacier track or the lake Matheson track. We arrived late after the check-in hour but the staff have left all we needed to access to our room. We did really appreciate this.

Negative: We were disappointed because the room wasn’t like on the photo. It was a little bit older than on the photos. It was very cold even with the heaters.

Summary: Ok for one day
