The hotel is conveniently located near Christchurch Airport, making it perfect for travelers catching early or late flights. The rooms are impeccably clean, but it would be great to see updated pictures of the standard room. However, the initial welcome could have been warmer, especially in these times of traveler concerns. The location is superb with easy access to the airport and essential amenities, along with a fabulous shuttle service. The dining experience lacked in value for money and variety, especially considering the expensive prices for the limited choices. Overall, the hotel offers great value in facilities like room service and airport shuttle.

This hotel is just what we needed in between flights - a perfect stopover with great amenities. The rooms are spacious and the bed is incredibly comfortable. I appreciated the extra tea mugs and glasses available, but it could have been cleaner. The service was friendly and efficient overall, even though some minor assistance with luggage would have been nice. The location is ideal for airport access and nearby attractions.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and while the transfer from the airport was convenient, the room I was given, after a mix-up with my booking, was small and not what I expected for the price paid. On the positive side, the rooms are new, and the hotel has nice lobby and outdoor garden spaces. However, it would have been better if my request for a downstairs room, due to my mother's mobility issues, was accommodated.

The hotel was top-notch overall, with everything being wonderful except for a minor issue with the air conditioning on the first night. The property goes above and beyond with its luxurious 5-star experience, although the room provided didn't quite match expectations; it was a standard room with twin double beds, adequately air-conditioned, and very comfortable.

The hotel is super close to the airport, and the rooms are big, fresh, and recently refurbished. The rooms do get very hot and are located at the end of the carpet section, which can be a downside. The service is amazing, especially the assistance with rushing forgotten items to the airport. The location is perfect for catching early flights and offers convenient access to nearby shops and supermarkets. The dining experience is average, slightly expensive, with limited options available.

I arrived late in the morning and was pleasantly surprised by the modern room serviced to perfection. It had a bit of a 1950s decor vibe down the hallway matching a slight musty smell. The shower over the bath was a bit tricky to access, but overall, it was quite cozy and nostalgic.
