Fine stay
We had a nice suite that was fine, if not a tiny bit tired looking. I’m disappointed that others in my group had breakfast included in their booking but because I used Hoteks.com that wasn’t an option, as the buffet breakfast was $35 a person (and not worth that). The hotel was close to many restaurants, which was a bonus. But most of them seem to have very limited hours. Some closed at 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. and others not open for breakfast.

Great hotel and service in Christchurch
Nice new property in a great location where we could walk to all the downtown sights and restaurants. The staff was very courteous and the manager on duty happily arranged for a cab to transport us to the train station. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would highly recommend it for a downtown Christchurch visit.
