Ascot Park Hotel

We enjoyed our stay. The room was warm and comfortable and in easy walking distance of the Sports Bar where we had dinner. Staff there were fantastic! The only negative was the shuttle bus driver we had in the morning. He didn’t get out the drivers seat to unlock the boot for our luggage then when he picked up two elderly guests, one with obvious mobility issues, he again stayed in the van. My husband got out and assisted them with their luggage and getting in. He also assisted them getting out and putting their suitcases on the path for them. The driver we had the night before was fantastic.

Nice hotel, great shower, comfy bed and a good linen. Hotel restaurant was very good.

The hotel was clean and warm, the bed was comfortable. The staff are friendly. It was good for my business trip needs, as the room had a kitchenette and living area. The property is a little dated, but not distracting.

Well located , very convenient to reach

The room we stayed at was renovated and the bathroom/shower facilities was very nice. During the early hours of the morning, kids were running back and forth along the corridor which caused some noise in our room. Overall the stay was great however on the morning of checkout, was disappointingly woken up to housekeeping team at 8.30am (before checkout time) knocking on our door. Without giving us an opportunity to answer, within a few seconds they were able to come into the room even with the security lock on. While I understand a hotel reserves the right to be able to access any hotel room, on this occasion it made us feel unsafe knowing the security lock can be so easily opened. While they were quick to apologize and leave the room upon seeing that it was all dark as we were still sleeping, we felt they should've at least double-checked before insisting on coming in. This incident was such a shame as it did spoil our impression of the overall stay.

Great place to stay

Very comfortable and quiet

No problems apart from poor wifi reception and choice on TV. I’d prefer to pay more and get good wifi. Other than that perfect for us.

This place was fantastic the minute we stepped into the reception area. Many thanks to your fabulous receptionist, she was outstanding. First time in Invercargill and it was a pleasure.

Nice and quiet, good bar and restaurant.

A pleasant place. No pretensions but clean enough and comfortable (I stayed in the hotel, not the motel, so I don’t know what the motel rooms are like). The staff were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was surprisingly good. The hotel is a little way outside the cbd so only convenient if you have a car. The pool is very ugly and the gym is a disaster - two out of four machines broken and the weight bench so rickety that it’s too dangerous to use. If a pool or a gym are important to you, I’d suggest going elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a good choice.

Front and rear entrance to the room. We got a complementary upgrade. Noise from adjoining room door slamming was annoying at 6:30 am!

Always be my first option if I’m in town, great services

We arrived late at night and the staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Hotel grounds are beautiful with giant pine trees and well manicured lawns perfect for a stroll with a coffee.

Stayed in the motel units, clean, warm and comfortable. Very friendly staff, with check in and out a breeze.

This is a real find and an unbelievable value. Recommended without reserve!

Good parking and plenty of space

Loved it

Clean and well managed

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Loved the jacuzzi tub in the room!
