The Lomond Lodge Motel & Apartments is a nice small hotel located up a steep hill one block from the downtown. The hotel staff was very friendly at check-in. Given the small size of the hotel, the front-desk/office are staffed during limited hours, but available by phone. The room was comfortable and compact in size, but big enough if you do not need to spread out. On the weekend, we did hear music in the room from the clubs downtown. Our room was on the first floor with small view of the lake and the road. We may trade the view for a room on the backside of the hotel if it’s quieter. We got one of the 5-6 reserved parking spaces in front of the hotel. The parking space was small and someone parked on the line making the space even smaller. One day, we came back in the late afternoon to find someone parked in our space. Despite promises by the hotel staff at check-in to have cars moved if someone parked without reservations, which they did not. The hotel offered to pay for the parking garage across the street, which would be a pain for moving our luggage. We resorted to looking for nearby street parking (parallel parking) with some local driver not being patient. They pulled up beside us and yelled at us. Thus, we did not enjoy the parking situation when our was space was occupied as the street in front of the hotel is very busy with locals avoiding the main road through downtown. Outside the one-time parking issue, we enjoyed the hotel’s proximity to down own. I have been to Queenstown three different times staying in three different hotels (one just outside downtown) and all were nice. I would be fine staying at any of them again with the only consideration whether I needed to stay in the downtown core and wanted to deal with parking.
