Average
The check in went smoothly and the room was good. We had a balcony which was small. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. My major gripe with this hotel was the fact of charging paying hotel guests $20 per day to park on the premises. Not sure how common that is, but ive never struck it before. For visitors, by all means. But for guests, i thiught was a bit much

When we got into our room, we found the toilet was not cleaned at all and we could see disgusting stains on the seat also some hair on the towels. Asked room service to clean and the lady who came for cleaning was very nice and cleaned all the toilet area and changed the towels. The reception was not helpful even during the check in didn't give us any advise on the parking area and that we needed to pay for the daily park there. Location was good and just walk to the centre.

Disliked: Amenities
We’ve had enjoyable stays at Rydges Latimer Square on numerous occasions but this time felt disappointed in the condition of the room. The room had sparse amenities, and low quality, thin towels and pillows. The carpet had also noticeable stains. Of particular disappointment was the quality of the mattress - both my partner and I found it very uncomfortable and had poor sleep as a result.

I liked the bar area. As one of us couldn't walk far, we sat in a quiet corner and played cards. Neither of us liked the king size beds. They both sloped down at the sides.

I injured myself at this property. There was a door stopper in front of the toilet and I kicked my toe on it. I had a room upgrade and was made felt like I should be grateful for that. One complimentary breakfast on a 3 night stay. The injury impacted my stay in Christchurch and the activities I was planning. I received email saying this has not happened to another guest before, once again making me feel like it was my fault there was a door stopper in front of the toilet.
