Amazing views and good selection of dining options. The room we had was in the original part of the hotel and located under the staircase which was not ideal as the stairs creek. Otherwise a great spot at the base of Mt Cook.

Lack of CCTV in the hallway. TV can do with some upgrade. We had lots of bags but there is no offer to help take the bag into the room. We couldn't find parking so had to park on the street.
