Relatively friendly staff. Office only open 9-6. My VIP perk was ‘breakfast’ a wrapped bowl of cereal and boxed milk delivered in the evening. A bit of a nice walk from the center. Tons of other options to stay in area so I thought they would stay more competitive. Parking is available though it did not apply to me.

We stayed here for one night prior to an early appointment at Christchurch Hospital. I chose it based on CBD location, breakfast options and parking. The Wifi was really excellent and easy to access. Really the best I've experienced in a hotel. The rest of it was pretty bland and meager. The beds were exceptionally soft, which meant a sore back for a long drive home. The beds also had flat sheets instead of fitted sheets so they ended up rucked up. The duvets didn't have covers either. It was very bare bones. They offered a continental breakfast that would be delievered to the room, but it was very basic and everything sounded tinned. We decided on a nearby cafe instead, Affogato which was exceptional. The possiblity of breakfast was one of the reasons I chose this hotel so it was a bit dissapointing. The sofa bed badly needs updating as you kind of collapse into it and then your legs are resting on the hard edge. While I booked an apartment for 3 they only provided enough toilitries for one, which we made do with. However, only one person in our party has long hair. Over all the feeling was very bare bones. About half an hour after we arrived the air con began leaking. They fixed it promptly, but we were left stepping on wet carpet everytime we entered the bedroom.

Disappointed
Bit disappointed on the cleanest of the hotel, found hair on the floor of bathroom when checked in. Housekeeping not tidy our bed and wiped the table left a mess. This is my second time came back thus hotel and it is the same room we stayed previously, obviously can see some part of the room needs to upgrade especially the pillows and mattress.
