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.

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.
