Mercure Queenstown Resort
Stunning views, beautiful location although a bit out of town, easy quick drive though. Slow wifi although better if you’re in reception. No smart tv or streaming which was rough with the kids as theois no abc kids or kids channel. Hotel is a bit dated.

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown
The staff were very kind and tried to do all they could to ensure our honeymoon was great. The food was delicious and they cleaned our room really nicely every day. Sylvester is the man. He’s made us feel very at home!

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown
Clean, comfortable room, friendly staff and loved the laundry in the room. It’d be nice two coffees instead of one if it’s a double occupancy reservation. Figuring out the thermostat was challenging, additional directions would’ve saved time. Great otherwise.
