A clean and organized room with well thought out amenities! Excellent service by intuitive staff! A generously curated spread for breakfast! Water filter stations on every floor offering chilled and sparkling water! A stone’s throw from Christchurch airport (you can literally walk out of the hotel lobby and into the airport in under 8 minutes)! - Absolutely no air traffic noise heard within the hotel itself👍

Beautiful rooms and communal areas. The lobby and courtyard are beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. AC/heater was easy to use, as well as the spa bath. Really happy with our stay here, was well worth the value for money and would recommended staying here again.

My only complaint is - no window in my room. If you’re going to sell someone a place to stay, you should need to be a bit more explicit about that. Not down to any staff there - everyone was happy and helpful

The room was acceptably clean and quiet as it was at the end of the hallway. even though a bunch of young kids were staying at the hotel and we're kind of rowdy, our room was quite quiet. The housekeeping staff was exceptional
