My stay at the motel was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the service was very polite and apologetic, and they were helpful with vegetarian options when the evening menu didn't show any. However, it felt more like a motel than a hotel, and the property could use some upgrades, especially the entrance door from the car park and the dated appliances in the laundry room. The constant noise of slamming doors during our stay was quite bothersome.

The room itself was a bit tired, and the slamming doors added to the discomfort. However, I appreciated the effort made to accommodate vegetarian preferences when the evening menu didn't have many options.

The staff were very polite and apologetic, and their effort to assist with vegetarian choices was commendable. Although they seemed a bit clueless about certain local information, their demeanor was pleasant throughout the stay.

The location was a bit isolated, away from the main attractions like Haast Village and Lake Matheson. However, being in an alpine wilderness had its charm, and having a restaurant on-site was convenient.
Dining
5.0
The dining options were limited to simple choices like cereal and toast, and the service seemed a bit disorganized when inquiring about gluten-free options. While room service was acceptable, the overall dining experience suffered from a lack of variety.
Facilities

The facilities overall were okay, but there was room for improvement, especially with the dated appliances and the need for upgrades in certain areas of the property.

When we arrived, our hotel was basic but clean and comfortable, with all the amenities you'd expect. The space was adequate, and there was coffee and tea with a water boiler available. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any room service on our second day.

The location was great for our needs, being just off the main road leading to the Fox and Franz Joseph area. It was a convenient stop for our overnight trip, even though it needs a good clean.

The motel had some notable drawbacks like a room that was too warm and in need of upgrading, yet it offered an unobstructed view of the sunset. The service was inconsistent, with helpful staff during difficult times but room for improvement elsewhere. The location was convenient for beachgoers and those exploring nearby attractions, although proximity to the main township would have been preferred. The dining experience was mixed, with plentiful options but room for improvement in service. Overall, the facilities were decent.

The motel is showing its age and could use some updates, especially with the entrance door and outdated appliances. The room felt a bit cramped despite having an extra bed. The showers were tight, like in most rooms. The service was fantastic for a stopover, with energetic and genuine staff, although the attire was questionable. The location, while scenic, experienced connectivity issues and was far from main shops. The dining was satisfactory with plentiful options but lacking in temperature. Overall, it's a middle-of-nowhere experience with some drawbacks but good service and dining.
