"We loved our stay in Queenstown . The hotel was in a great location, clean, staff was friendly. My only complaint as we left was our room needs a new bed. It was two twins put together and had a difference in height and was lumpy. The worst bed we have ever slept in and we travel a lot. The pillows were horrible too. I did let the front desk know the owners needed to make a change in that room. The other couple we were with said theirs was great. Thank you"
