Pinewood Queenstown
Nice location with a view. Clean rooms and helpful staff. Parking into those narrow parking slots is not fun. We came back late to some dont care person parked into our parking slot and had to beg the staff to find the idiot who did at 10:30pm. The staff found the person and made them move. So awesome ...
