The Alpine Chalets

Staff was friendly, communicated well and were flexible when I needed to change the booking and arrived late. It's walking distance to several good restaurants. Everything was in good repair and very clean. They had nice linens and hot showers. It's an older hotel, but was a great stay. Don't let that scare you off. I'd definitely stay there again!

The pictures on their site do not accurately represent the poor quality of the establishment. Unpainted plaster repair work, peeling paint, unfinished (but old) paintwork, un-vacuumed (or poorly vacuumed) carpet, and just poor in general. Worst of all, there is no agent of any kind there. The only bright spot was the bar right across the street. We had a lovely meal there. In the end it is a budget bed for hikers, skiers, or bikers. One step up from a tent. We slept well and nothing crawled on us in our sleep (that we know of), and I suppose we got what we paid for, but I wanted to leave a review just so people will not be fooled by the misleading photos. Update: I dont see it here, but the owner responded to me by saying that he thought it was severe to say that his/her place was only a step up from a tent. Listen, I dont like giving bad reviews. I loved New Zealand and its people, and hope to go back again soon. My primary reason for writing this review was the misleading photos on the site. With just a little TLC this could be a fairly nice if not rustic motel. Finish the wall repairs. Finish painting. Vacuum the floors and the crevices in the sliding door (found a dead moth that took me a second to clean up - why didnt the room attendant take the time to do that?) Sweep and maybe occasionally repaint the outdoor hallway - it was littered with leaves and other natural debris. My review is well-intentioned: to help visitors make an informed decision about whether to stay there, and to give the owner some feedback to help his/her business. I truly want you to succeed! Just spend a little time on each room, just a little. Attention to details like cleanliness and appeal. You can do it!
