You get to stay close to the magnificent Mt. Cook, and that is the point. My room is clean and comfy, and the price is proper. The dining experience in the Alpine Restaurant is mainly on the view.

Our room was warm, comfortable and had good views towards Mt Cook. The smorgasbord restaurant in the hotel was superb, for both evening dining and breakfast. There are several pay-to-enter display/entertainment options within the hotel.
