Amazing breakfast buffet. Worth coming just for that. The rooms are very good. The only down side is the air is dry - but that’s probably a Christchurch thing.

Great-almost

Hotel room was very clean, staff was great, however, there is a lot of local construction projects, Jackhammers started at 7am and did not stop until 7pm. This may change in the future.

Andrew

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The inability of staff being able to efficiently check in 2 customers on Sunday afternoon was very annoying. It took over 20 minutes for 2 staff to check in 2 guests while I waited simply to collect my luggage - something which only required a minute of attention. When there is a backlog of people waiting it's probably not a good idea to be trying to sell guests on the hotel's loyalty programme.
