The public areas of this hotel were fantastic. The guest rooms could use some attention. Stained carpet- needs to be heavily cleaned or replaced. The breakfast was wonderful!

On arrival at the property, we were told that we did not have reservations for two rooms, but only one. i showed them my Expedia receipt and confirmation listing two rooms for three nights each. The receptionist stated that they did have one room for three nights, but not two rooms and they didn’t care what my Expedia receipt said. After a bit of conversation, she did suggest that maybe they could have an additional room available for one night instead of the three booked and at a rate of $558 per night instead of $228 per night with the possibility of extending our stay at the higher rate. But the extension was not guaranteed. With this type of greeting and service, I’ll fully reevaluate the possibility of our staying at this property in the future.

Such a lovely hotel right in the centre of Christchurch and yet completely quiet. We stayed in another hotel the night before which was noisy - didn't get much sleep! I recommend Novatel!
