7.4/10

The hotel rooms were clean, tidy, and super warm, much appreciated, albeit with some issues in cleanliness and service. The mis-named description was a minor drawback, but the comfortable king bed and small sofa provided good value for the price.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were clean, tidy, and super warm, much appreciated, but there were concerns about cleanliness and service standards. The size was small, and there were issues with dirty sheets and unattended garbage bags. However, the room was large enough for a comfortable stay with a king-sized bed and a small sofa, offering reasonable pricing.

Service

8.0

The staff was very apologetic about noise issues and showed awareness of the situation. Despite some issues with service standards, they were friendly and extremely obliging.

Location

9.0

The location was great, just a 15-minute drive from the ski field and convenient for walking in the national park. The fantastic view of Mt Ruapehu added to the appeal, making it an ideal choice for ski field access.

Dining

The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives. While the dinner at the restaurant and bar was fantastic, the food options were somewhat limited, with slow refills on items. Overall, the dining was good, especially with fresh and healthy dishes.
