I really enjoyed my week there. In the evening there were activities like bingonight, movienight, gamingchallenge etc. I had lucky with a free parkingplace but there are not many spots so that’s the only minor… ##### Marloe Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carlee Ann Aug 29, 2024 good ##### Carlee Ann Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia Jan 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good stay here. Booked private room - was a seperate building outside with short walk into main building for bathroom and kitchen. All pretty clean - room was a bit heavy with smell or air freshener. Parking is tight but generally available. Easy walk into Queenstown (~15 min) for main sites/attractions in town. ##### Olivia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Xiyu Apr 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room has a very strong smell. The curtains are new with formaldehyde which will definitely hurt my health but they don’t want to change it. ##### Xiyu Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Klim Feb 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service You pay what you get. ##### Klim Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leayah Dec 14, 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Quality of bathrooms was amazing, seemingly newly renovated. But bedroom distinctly smelt like mold and sweat so we had to deal with either the pungent smell or moths and mosquitoes. Bedroom lock was also broken, had to climb through the window one night as keys were not working. Daily kitchen and bathroom cleans happen every morning, which is great but it’s at an inconvenient time of 8am when you’d want to shower and use the kitchen before heading out. ##### Leayah Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chee Mar 17, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room with no sound proof! My Queen room absolutely with no sound proof at all,you can hear everything single conversation from next room and overall this place is pretty run down but staffs is very friendly. ##### Chee Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Edmonton Sherwood Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Edmonton-Sherwood-Park.h27161052.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Arizona](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Arizona-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d204-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels.d4138.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barcelo Maya Grand](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Grand-Resort.h36196998.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Old Town Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Town-Edinburgh-Edinburgh-Hotels.0-n179568-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brazil](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Brazil.d23.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Burrard Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Burrard-Station-Hotels.d6215459.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Tokyo Station Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-The-Tokyo-Station-Hotel.h428366.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Westin-Harbour-Castle.h10931.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Kimpton-Goodland-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach.h66154707.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Scotiabank Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotiabank-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072449-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near T-Mobile Park](https://www.expedia.ca/T-Mobile-Park-Hotels.0-l6034821-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kamana Lakehouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Kamana-Lakehouse.h983589.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/lga/ottawa-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Copenhagen (CPH) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cph/yyc/copenhagen-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kamloops (YKA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yka/toronto-to-kamloops) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyj/kelowna-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Salt Lake City (SLC) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/slc/den/salt-lake-city-to-denver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqg/toronto-to-windsor) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hyd/toronto-to-hyderabad) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yxs/kelowna-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Managua (MGA) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mga/yyz/managua-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Sechelt (YHS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/yhs/comox-to-sechelt) ### Cars > [Car rentals in San Jose](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-San-Jose.d602703.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
