Top Frankton Hotel Reviews

Pinewood Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Facility a bit dated but clean. Has the feel of a hostel, adequate but bare-bones. "

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

6/10 Okay

"Convenient but very limited parking considering we chose this hotel because they had parking. We were going to stay a couple more nights at this hotel the next week and asked them to store our bags until we returned. They would for a per bag per day fee. First time I encountered this in a hotel in NZ. Needless to say, we opted to haul around our extra bags. "

Wyndham Garden Remarkables Park Queenstown

8/10 Good

"The room was a bit smaller than I expected. The layout was not as functional. No tables, just night stands so we didn’t have any space to leave things on unless on the floor. The washroom layout was strange. The door opened inwards and you’ll need to strategically move inside, close the door then use the toilet. Overall it’s an alright hotel for 1 night."

Marina Apartments Element Escapes

10/10 Excellent

"This 2 bedroom is probably the most comfortable, spacious place that we (family of four adults) stayed during our month long trip to 5 countries. There is a large common area with living room, dining area and kitchen, and balcony with table. The view of the lake in that area is breathtaking. Queenstown is beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to enjoy that view. The only downside is that it is not in the city center, but it’s a short bus or Uber away. Furniture is good and clean. Note that this is self check in so make sure to get those instructions from the Messages in Expedia before arriving. Also, there is no luggage storage. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Would recommend and would stay here again."
