The Scenic Hotel Marlborough was absolutely adorable!! It had super easy parking and was in a very walkable area. We enjoyed relaxing at the hotel the entire time. Dinner at the restaurant was fantastic, and their wine selection was top-notch. The bar staff were knowledgeable with great recommendations. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. I loved staying here and would definitely go back if I had the chance.

Teddi

Liked: Amenities
Not crowded at all when we were there, almost eerily deserted in winter. Great value for a last minute change in itinerary due to closed mountain passes. Kind and polite staff, decent food. Free wifi, comfortable beds, but not friendly to bare feet due to sharp raised metal threshhold between carpet and tile. Would benefit from better coffee and remembering to close the hall windows in winter, and allowing access to sauna without having to notify staff in advance.

A nice stay

A nice place close to the centrum. We got the room next to the elevator, we weren't disturbed during night but we could hear it going up and down almost all the time. We also washed our clothes, it was 4 NDL wich I think was an ok price. An other 4 NDL for tumbling. Nice breakfast and very nice people working there.
