    nice touch

    Just a top selection for a weekend respite in Queenstown with value for money. The heater was already on when I arrived, which was a nice touch. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask at the front desk.

    stunning view
    essential kitchenette
    strong odor
    poor cleanliness

    The stunning view from my room made each morning feel special, right on the lakeside. The kitchenette had all the essentials, making it easy to prepare breakfast. The location, just 100 meters from downtown Queenstown, allowed for effortless exploration. However, the room had a strong bleach odor upon arrival, which was off-putting. The cleanliness left much to be desired. surfaces felt like they hadn't been properly cleaned. Also, the bed was uncomfortable, impacting my sleep quality. Although I appreciated the kitchenette, the outdated decor felt tired and not welcoming. Communication with staff could be improved, as my inquiries were met with inconsistent responses. It could easily be a great stay with a few upgrades and better attention to cleanliness.

    lakeside views
    outdated decor
    poor mattress

    stunning lakeside views, convenient parking, close proximity to downtown

    The outdated decor feels like a time capsule from the 80s!!! Poor mattress quality and a slow wifi connection detracted from the experience!!! A refresh is definitely in order to justify the high prices!!!

    spacious kitchen
    beautiful views
    convenient location
    spotty wi-fi
    minor inconveniences

    Our family had a fantastic stay at Lakeside Motel! The spacious kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and the beautiful views of the lake from our room made mornings special. The location is just 100 meters from downtown Queenstown, which was super convenient for exploring.

    The Wi-Fi connection was a bit spotty at times.

    fine view
    kitchenette essentials
    dated room

    Had a nice stay overall! The fine lakeside view made morning coffee a treat. The kitchenette had the essentials, but yeah, the room felt a bit dated and could use a refresh. Still, it's a solid spot for a few days in Queenstown.

    spotless bedding

    This place was a good match for resting at all in Queenstown with good value. The bedding was spotless, which was a relief. Don't bother trying the wifi. it hardly worked anyway.

    spacious kitchen
    picnic area
    spotty wi-fi

    Cozy spot with a killer view!

    Had a nice stay here! The view from the room was just stunning, right on the lake. It made mornings so much better! The kitchen had all the essentials we needed, and there’s a picnic area nearby for meals outside. Wi-Fi was kinda spotty, which was a pain when trying to plan activities.

    stunning views
    spacious accommodations
    cleanliness issue
    musty odor
    poor communication

    The lakeside views were stunning, providing a great backdrop during our stay. Spacious accommodations at a reasonable price allowed us to enjoy family breakfasts, thanks to the kitchenette. Unfortunately, we encountered cleanliness issues including unemptied trash and a musty odor from the dehumidifier, which impacted our comfort level. Additionally, communication with the staff was inconsistent, and our request to change rooms was awkwardly handled.
