Best stay this trip
This is the best accomodation out of 3 in Christchurch we stayed this trip. It’s one class above others in terms of space and layout, also quality. All four of us felt like we could space out and relax. We even got a late check out of 12 o’clock due to a late flight that day which was much appreciated. Location wise it’s very handy for hagley park and cbd. We will stay again.

Something seems to have changed. Typically a great place to stay. The toilet seat in unit 27 (an accessible unit), does not fit the cistern. Used to be a great place to stay, but

Bad experience.
The room smelled bad. There was only one piece of paper in the bathroom and it was already started. none replacement. The blanket covering the bed had dog hair on it and they charge 15 dollars extra for each dog.
