Top Sentinel Rock Hotel Reviews

Alpine Glacier Motel

8/10 Good

"Really pleasant check-in. Staff very friendly. We had to leave early due to needing to get through road to Wanaka was blocked by slips. We wanted to keep booking open in case we had to come back and they were very obliging. No dishwasher so we did have to cleanup before we left as policy was to leave the place we found it so we had to do all our dishes manually. We booked a Mountain View, and though we did get Mountain View we only got it if we walked out on the deck. The place was very central to what we needed. Room was good sized to our requirements. Overall was a pleasant stay."
