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.

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central
The room was very small. The gym was off site (Anytime Fitness) and I had to walk about 500 meters to get there. A nice walk, but I would prefer on site
