After Google searching various hotels in Invercargill, Ascot Park Hotel seemed to be the best option and very reasonably priced. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I knew Invercargill was a small town and never been there before. Although the hotel is on the outskirts of the city, it's only a short drive to the city centre, and I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. The hotel grounds are huge and well-suited to work conferences or functions. Parking was right outside our king bed room. The exterior of the hotel is very unassuming, but we were very impressed with a very large king bed room. Not sure if all the rooms in the hotel have been renovated, but we got, what looked like, a fairly newly renovated room and beautiful big modern tiled bathroom. So nice for a hotel room to have a renovated modern bathroom - makes all the difference. The bed was very comfortable, the room was warm and no problem with noise (although I did request a room away from the bar & reception area). Had dinner at Emberz bar/restaurant, which had basic bar type food but still good. The function room was huge and looked very impressive for a party or wedding and I saw the gym facilities too, which looked good. The reception staff were friendly. The highlight for us was when we ordered toffee pudding as room service - it was divine and probably the best one I've ever had! Highly recommend the hotel.
