Location, short walk to lake. Front desk guy was helpful.
Parking is limited and cramped. No obvious air conditioning.

A good location and easy to find. Nice park across the street center of town right behind the hotel. Big grocery store right across the parking lot
Tired and worn out very basic kitchen equipment, pans are useless stingy with towels etc

Location was killer, exactly what we were looking for. The room was very large and gave us plenty of space to spread out. Wifi signal was strong (150 MBPS) and allowed for remote work. Bed was comfy.
The motel was...a cheap motel, in all the ways you can imagine. Super strong cleaning scent upon entry, tiny parking spots, spider webs in the corners, outdated and a bit grungy in general.

Wonderful
How close it was to town
The noises from the wood cracking - not something that can be helped though

Perfect location in town, supermarket next door. The room was cozy and had everything we needed.
The parking spaces are very small with tight maneuvering (everyone seems to drive a 4wd). We parked on the street to avoid any unintentional carpark damage.

Great location in the center of Wanaka. Everything walking distance.
I was on the ground floor and could hear guests on the top floor.

Great location close to the lake, supermarket and restaurants. Rooms are excellent.
The shrinking wood sound from the wall. Small kitchen without facilities, only some coffee provided

The location was great right next to NewWorld and lake area. The room was okay with kitchenware which suit for travellers that love to cook in the room. The bed was great with heat pad underneath our bed.
There were RVs parking on the street which there were some noise during the night however it was bearable. The room smelled like damp smell so we had to ask for spray.
