Disliked: Staff were not knowledgeable about significant events impacting hotel access during our stay. (i.e. The Christchurch Marathon and supporting road closures. There was an absence of any senior management and only very junior staff available during our stay (24hrs).

Pleasant stay in Christchurch

Liked: Lovely setting amongst the Arts Centre. Close to the botanical gardens, short walk to the restaurants in the city centre. Furnishing of the lounge with free coffee and tea was wonderful. Service was fine, but a little lacking in providing specific advice such as great restaurants to try. We were simply told to refer to the folder. Our room did have a strange smell on a couple of days and the bed and pillows weren’t the most comfortable we felt. It did have the amenities one would need when travelling such as ironing board, hairdryer, safe and fridge. But no water was provided.

It's the best hotel in...

Liked: It is at an excellent location. I could only wish I had booked a few more nights so that I could walk around to explore the neighborhood. The building and the overall atmosphere feels very historic. Given the crazy inflation in the states for hotels, the price for this hotel is very modest.
Disliked: I wish it could provide better on-site breakfast. Although there are cafes within walking distance, the hotel itself doesn't provide a good breakfast.

Liked: Great breakfast in the conservatory. Very friendly staff. We were able to park our car in their carpark but there was a charge. Beautiful building mixing old with new. Excellent location. Perfect.
