The room was very clean and the bed proved comfortable.

The check-in process included an issue with staff. I arrived 30 minutes early (I thought I could check-in). The staff member seemed disinterested in helping and told me to wait until the official check-in time (it was inconvenient).

Wonderful Stay Near National Park!

friendly staffnice viewwashing machineunavailable breakfast

I found the staff very friendly. They clearly work hard. The view from the bedroom window showed Arthur's Pass, a nice sight. Access to walking routes was convenient by car. A washing machine was available. This became handy after a day of outdoor activities.

At check-in, I learned breakfast started at 8 AM, but the doors were closed at that time the next day. It would have been helpful to know breakfast was unavailable on New Year's Day.
