5.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the views were stunning and the room was spacious, the overall service was lacking, with rooms not being cleaned and amenities not functioning properly. It feels like it's lost its touch as a luxury stay, but if you're on a budget and just need a place to crash, it's workable.

The room was spacious with great views, but it wasn't cleaned during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The views of the Shotover River are stunning and the rooms are decent and clean, but the overall condition of the place leaves something to be desired. I appreciated the friendly service at the reception, but there were significant issues during dining that really took away from the experience. Additionally, I found the spa facilities to be underwhelming, particularly the temperatures of the pools.

Rooms
