Hotel location, room size, and cleanliness -- all excellent. Food quality (at breakfast) a bit average. Given location (next to the Convention Center) and size, hotel is a destination for large bus groups... but location makes it attractive for central city cultural offerings and museums.

Great property in a good location in Christchurch. 10 minute walk to the riverside market. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only downside was the parking at the property was a bit expensive. I would park in the lot across the street. Otherwise a great hotel and I would stay again!
