Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and tidy. The transfer of noise from the occupants in the above room was annoying when children were not under control which went on until well after 9.30pm. The reception staff were prompt in sorting the issue out and contact us afterwards to inform us. Issue resolved smartly. Great breakfast which catered for all young and old. Great to have covered parking this time of the year. Lovely view from the balcony to."
