adora

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
the room was spotless, the staff was courteous the building is newly built (looks like), built like a motel where the rooms have individual entries; the room/BR design is modern; there is a modern bathtub, the BR fixtures are modern; the bed is comfortable, the pillows fluffy; there is a sun/moon roof with push button controls; there is a fridge, kitchen wares, water bottles in the fridge were free; the room overlooks Lake Tekapo which is a great view in the morning; free breakfast with unlimited but reasonable quantities, room delivery is an option; Laundry is available upon request with separate charges: this hotel is somewhat pricey and the only one thing that didn't match the price are the towels- they were not fluffy, they felt worn, they don't look "new" white, I rate this hotel 4/5

The hotel is modern and sleek designed with spacious room and bathroom, kitchen utensils and pots are a bit worn, the breakfast is really good with a wide range of choices, the only thing that annoys is there is no YouTube.
