The hotel is nothing really outstanding but a good choice for those with a car as it's about 3km out of the city. However, it's close to the Merivale Shops and a large mall - both within walking distance. Rooms are fairly standard, but spacious and comfortable. Only one odd thing on arrival, we were given the incorrect room type. When we brought this up, the receptionist complained to us by saying "I have to work till 11pm, you know". As it was their error, wouldn't she have been better to just apologise?

Although a bit out of town ( but Christchurch is so small and free of traffic jams that it's no real problem if you have a car), this was a quiet comfortable spotless hotel room where we happily stayed 3 nights and used the laundry facilities as well!

The hotel is a little far from the city center so you will need a car or a taxi to get there. They offered a free shuttle to the casino but we never used it. We had a car so the location was OK for us and it was an easy drive to the airport - a bonus.

The rooms were clean and the food in the restaraunt was good. The pillows were nice and fluffy! The double bed was a little small for two adults. A trash truck woke up up at 5:30 AM but I am a light sleeper.

We stayed for two nights and we'd stay there again.

This hotel is convenient to the airport, and a ten minute drive into town. Has parking just outside the door in their own lot. The entire hotel is non-smoking, although there are smoking areas outside. The beds in our room were VERY soft, too much so. The room was clean and spacious, ditto for the bathroom. There are several restaurants nearby to walk to if you don't want to drive into town. Not a fancy place, but clean, quiet and just a short drive or bus trip to the center of town.
