Mercure Queenstown Resort
Room was of a very nice quality. A wee bit away from town centre. Not sure the car parking fee is warranted but otherwise satifactory.

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown
Really has the feel of a ski hotel even in summer. Modern hotel ( in a new district) with fair size rooms. Liked the laundry facilities but parking was an issue, as it's shared with a block of permanent residents. Quite far from the centre but close to the airport.

Sherwood Queenstown
Had a great stay! Nice and clean. Good value but 45mins from downtown so a car was nice. But it can be walked! Kids complained that Wifi wasn’t good. Otherwise, we’d stay here again.
