Wyndham Garden Remarkables Park Queenstown

This hotel is only suitable for overnight stays for airport transits. After 10 PM, there's no one around; you have to check in yourself using an intercom and retrieve your key from a password-protected box. Service is practically non-existent. The rooms are incredibly small, comparable to Japanese hotels, and the bathrooms are integrated units. I booked two rooms and wanted to extend one by an hour, but the front desk said only one could be extended... Parking is very limited; if you can't get a spot, you'll have to use a paid parking lot nearby. After a short sleep from a late-night flight, we quickly left.

Close to the airport, I stayed here on my first day in New Zealand. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. It was really pleasant to drop off my luggage and take a walk around the hotel; there are many cherry blossom trees.

The hotel's environment is truly excellent, with snow-capped mountains right behind it. It's also incredibly close to the airport, just a few hundred meters in a straight line. There's a supermarket and a street with plenty of restaurants nearby, making dinner super convenient in the evenings.

We stayed for six consecutive nights, and the hotel's surroundings were quite convenient. It was only about a 10-minute walk from the airport, and there were many restaurants next door, plus a supermarket for daily needs. The coffee shop downstairs at the hotel also had good offerings. However, the bad experience during this stay was the poor bedding. It had stains and a missing piece, which we only discovered after sleeping on it for two nights. The hotel couldn't find a new duvet that night, so we had to use a sheet instead. The dryer sounded like a bomber plane; honestly, this Wyndham is the most disappointing one I've ever stayed at. 😅

The location and cleanliness are impeccable. It's truly a great place to stay, but… there's one major downside that completely negates all its advantages. I'm so angry I'm writing this furious review right now. The washing machine and dryer noise at night is no joke. Even with the door closed, there's a constant rattling sound that's just… unbearable. I don't know if it's coming from upstairs or next door, but the buzzing noise even in the early hours was so irritating that I couldn't sleep. There are thoughtless people who run their washing machines and dryers in the morning and early hours, making the cons outweigh all the pros. I don't know why they designed the building this way… they should have just made it a shared coin-operated laundry.
