The only thing I didn't like was that it advertises on the sign outside that they have 50 channels of SKY TV and that certainly wasn't the case. Apart from the sports channels and maybe four of five others, most channels were unavailable. Apart from this, it was not a bad place to stay, and very convenient to the Riccarton Mall,

I didn't notice until morning there was no milk in the fridge & the office wasn't open at that time. Just an oversight I'm sure. Most helpful in keeping my bag after I checked out for me to pick up later

Staff checked what we needed daily as we stayed more than one night. Traffic noise was a bit of a concern, but used to it by night 3. Parking not as easy as thought, but sufficient.
