It was ok for 1 night stay, before leaving Christchurch. Fairly dated decor and bed was soft. Room was spacious, and ample parking spaces.

I picked this property for the price and got what I paid for. It was clean and had all the facilities you need but would definitely be considered a budget property. Staff were friendly and helpful. Car parking is available right outside your door for ground-level rooms. Great location in walking distance to the city and right across the road from the new stadium (when it is completed).

Convenient too the city centre. The pictures were deceiving and it was a lot more dated than we realized. The shower was only chest high which was inconvenient but fine if your short i guess. Staff were friendly.
