Bar staff was good. Restaurant was terrible. Most food choices were gone. They charged $2 for Tabasco Restaurant staff was very rude I requested if I can wait for a better table. I was told take the table that was offered, otherwise there are other takers I am sure if there were other options in the area no one would eat there. Couple of other tables hardly ate what they ordered. Really good location. Truly sad the way it’s being managed ##### Anjana Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmela Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place is nice and cozy and it’s very close to Mt Ruapehu. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f1afe72-0cf3-40e8-b546-688918027c98-1757094140493.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d1e30d91-a47f-40b3-bf31-e084f0c7f618-1757094140087.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cb53516-8ae7-4c30-b276-e3e2eb94462c-1757094140477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba18ca19-594b-4fb6-b0ea-85cd3bca0029-1757094138362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carmela Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Clayton Dec 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Guests be warned. If reception staff misplace your room key on check out. Check your credit card transaction to see the hotel hasn't charged your card $50 for a lost key. ##### Clayton Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shuang Dec 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room is pretty good (great location, price is reasonable, and room is very clean). Major problem: the café is a scam. The food is wildly overpriced and bearly edible, e.g., the $30 “meat-lover” pizza had almost no meat and was basically just BBQ sauce sprinkled all over the crust. They also charge my 13 yo son for adult price breakfast ($30 for some toast and butter). ##### Shuang Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We liked our stay.
