Room we were kindly upgraded to upon arrival was clean & well presented. Bed was very comfortable and hotel location was excellent in the centre of the city. Note: there's no onsite parking, however the hotel has a $10 parking deal available at a local Wilsons Multistory carpark (just need to ask at reception). Staff in the rooftop bar were also very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

All rooms are not created equal. For example, not all rooms have proper coffee service. My room was instant coffee. Yuck. I had to ask for the room to be made up on the second day, even with the sign on the door. I had no housekeeping service on the first day. The hotel looks under-utilized with empty hallways, elevators, reception. The restaurant is only open for breakfast. I didn’t use it.

Theoretically a good location in Christchurch. Rooms and service were fine, only unfortunate thing were the two homeless gentleman that were camping out in front of the hotel right next to the entrance that felt the need to comment when walked by.

The room was clean and the staff helpful. There was no parking, you had to drive to a carpark and walk down the street. For the price I would expect more as the standard was more like a low budget hotel.
