La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, staff were awesome! Check in was a breeze and the property is nicely tucked away from the hustle of the main centre but a quick drive in if you feel the need. A whole heap of amenities near the hotel so you'd never need to go far for anything really "
