It’s clear the managers are strong, but their lower staff are not trained well at all. Part of this is they had to scramble to hire enough employees. One of the managers told me that a lot of their better employees didn’t come back yet as they, up until July 31, were making more at home on unemployment than working. I’m not sure if that has changed at all yet, since I stayed when it opened, but from the reviews I’m reading, it doesn’t sound like much has changed.
went to TA to look at some reviews. The recent 1-star review is hilarious. Definitely a DYKWIA. Looking at his other reviews, it appears to be either 1-star or 5-stars. There was even one on the Hilton Queenstown but the review rambled on immigration and Australia.
