“Rydges Lakeland Resort Queenstown strikes me as a mixed bag, its prime lakeside location and rooftop pool are definite highlights for vacationers; however, some rooms need updating. For business or family stays, the flexible conference spaces and marketplace dining hold appeal, provided you're not expecting flawless service. I think this property offers potential with some investment.”
