"The motel has on site parking, which is one of the reasons I chose the place. It’s about 15 minutes walk to downtown Queenstown. The unit is clean but basic. There is no elevators. The beds are a little soft for me. The motel is on a busy road so it could be little noisy due to traffic."

"Located in a nice and quiet location. Room has all the facilities but the lack of a fan or a AC assuming Queenstown is always cold was a bit uncomfortable as we ended up with a hot evening and unable to keep windows open fearing bugs since being bitten enough by sand flies already.
