Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

10/10 Excellent
"All was great. No complains. My friends and I were able to check in without much issues. We could see the mountain right outside our window when we woke up. Close drive to famous fergburger too, and we were able to get them to microwave our overnight food even though they didn't have an oven. Clean too, and we were able to check out with no hassle."
