Room was outdated. Advertised buffet breakfast at a discounted rate only to find out at the restaurant that the advertisement was no longer valid. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Beach lodge motel
Enjoyed my stay here. Greeted warmly on arrival and got escorted to the room rather than just handing me keys. He offered me some tips of what to do in Queenstown that are budget friendly as well which was a nice exchange :)
