Christchurch stopover

Liked: A nice room with a private outdoor area at the back. A good location for our visit.

Clean and comfortable!

Liked: Clean rooms and friendly staff. Easy walk to and through park to get to city sights!

Very good option for Christchurch...

Liked: Good parking, safe and secure, very warm and friendly staff, I like staying here as it is close to hagley Park, and many food options for a meal. The rooms are well appointed, with great beds and excellent heating.

Superb

Enjoyed the Spa bath, comfy...

Liked: Central to a good number of places to get good food (2025) by walking. Authentic Japanese, Chinese and Korean restaurants as well as an Irish bar plus 2 other Taverns. Found a Mexican restaurant that was like a subway, where you could make up your own Taco, Burrito etc. that was delicious!Down near the corner (towards Hagley Park) we found a 24 Night/Day store, like a corner diary with everything from pies and fried chicken to sweet cake slices and Thick shakes - an everything store.All of this, just a short walk in both directions.Also being located central in the city, it's a good place to stay to cover all bases for shopping.Hostess was very pleasant and helpful. Were given a decent amount of milk for the room. I was very happy about this.The room had a mini bar and basket, so if you don't want to go out there is the option to purchase in house beverages and snacks and the prices are reasonable (great if you want to stay in!).Had the Spa bath room and enjoyed a much needed long hot soak. I put all the hot water in! But after a 2 hour soak there was hot water again, no worries for a morning shower as well.(Or you could do it the other way around ;) )
Disliked: I didn't like that couldn't stay longer, lol.Traffic wasn't too bad, but we were not there at peak time.

Comfy bed, great location.

Liked: We had unit 6 on the ground floor - it was quiet with a comfortable bed
Disliked: The fan in the bathroom was really loud and the toilet roll holder needed maintenance (We forgot to mention this before we left - sorry.) The kitchenette was a little bit poky, but it had everything you needed.
