“I really love this hotel,”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

we stay here regularly, always a good deal, love the cooked buffet breaky, the meals are top grade. the pool is wonderful, the staff friendly, helpful and welcoming. the hotels free shuttle service to and from the airport has come in handy many times, especially overseas flights arriving at 2am. i found the rooms tidy, comfortable and roomy,
the kids love it, and its handy to orana park and the airport.

“Comfortable, convenient to airport and good value.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We have stayed here on a few occasions now and have had standard and business level rooms/suite. Each time we have found our beds very comfortable, the room or suite clean and well maintained considering the earthquakes Christchurch has experienced in recent times. We stayed two nights recently in the Sunset Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room service was fast and friendly with meals arriving hot, and housekeeping staff were friendly though some reception staff seemed a little stressed at times. The restaurant food was great and added to our enjoyable stay. We will continue to come back.

Room Tip: Stay in the business level rooms as they are more modernly furnished and nicer facilities.

“Super service, value and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

This is certainly more than just an airport hotel. Stayed here for two seperate nights, at the start of a tour around the south island and on the return before catching a flight. Check in was polite and friendly on both occasions with the receptionist actually taking us to our rooms.

We had a superior room, it was very roomy and comfortable, decor a little dated, but clean and well maintained. On our first stay we took room service which was delivered in good time and with a smile and hot. Good to see the use of foil rather than a lid to keep food hot in transit.

On our second stay we ate in the resturant and the food was very good, with good service and friendly waiting staff. Breakfast was great, not too fancy but some nice touches such as Rose's Marmalade and the best of all the tea. This must be the only hotel in New Zealand that knows how to serve tea correctly and use loose leaf tea.

Transfers to the airport were quick and instant. Made use of the free bus tickets to town which is a nice touch.

Would certainly stay here again.
