Camelot Motor Lodge
"Roomy with nice staff and parking onsite. The interior was slightly aged, and could have used with some (any) decoration. Generally clean and tidy. Would have appreciated if the toiletries provided were something other than 3-in-1."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
"Excellent place to stay for one person on a budget, everything I needed and clean. Basic rooms might be a bit tight for a couple but for one person it was perfect. I had to do a few hours work on my laptop and was able to sit and work at the small desk. Staff were great, breakfast good value as well. ..."

Novotel Christchurch Airport
"Room and bedding seemed to be clean but was itchy all night and had a suspected spider bite on side of face in the morning. Had a room service salad, but chicken was like leather. Upset stomach the following day. Disappointed overall as supposed to be 4.5 star and quite expensive."
