Parking is tight - so a smaller car is preferable. There was no room service, but we were only there for the weekend so we didn't mind

Local Friendly & Clean :)
Stayed 6 nights solo, the hotel staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. My room 210 had its own balcony which I could see the lake from. Only a 10 minute walk into town, local museum etc. Unfortunately the fridge was not working properly but I'm sure easily fixed. The QS bed was comfortable and quiet later at night so slept well also. I'd stay here again for sure.

Poor quality mattress, so bad we had to change rooms, shared kitchen facilities that left other peoples food aromas (read curry and fish) drift into rooms, poor quality furnishings

Aside from the noisy cars, the property is as described. It was basic and great for a stop over to rest our head on way to Wellington from Auckland

NO HOT WATER!
Worst place I have ever stayed in!
The hotel is dirty. The staff are very rude! THERE IS NO HOT WATER!
The "king bed" is 2 single mattresses pushed together badly.
The room is NOT lake facing!
Completely misleading! DO NOT BOOK HERE!
