Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The maintenance in the room was poor. The king bed bases had separated causing a dip in the mattress, the toilet seat was broken putting it on a sharp lean, house keeping came in and made a bed that was dirty from room service and they just made the bed leaving the dirty sheets on it and the towel we had put down just got made into the bed. The freezer door in the fridge also didn't seal properly which meant the fridge froze all our drinks. Overall very run down and not as appealing as the photos made it look.

Butter Chicken
The Butter Chicken special in the hotel restaurant was the best ever tasted. Restaurant staff very willing to help and look after us. Unit was spacious. We would have preferred a harder mattress but failed to ask so will ask next time we book.

Basic but ok
Basic accommodation, pricey for what you get but it's all super expensive in Hanmer these days. At least it was clean and warm. The toilet lid was loose, the shower head was broken and the body wash glued to the wall came off, so room condition was not great. Reception said open at 8am but we had to leave the keys in the box because probably they slept in and it was not open. It's hard to find accommodation at a reasonable price in Hanmer, so if your expectations are not too high, then go for it.
