It was our first time staying at the Crowne Plaza in Christchurch, and we absolutely loved it, definitely worth coming back. Check-in was slightly slow, which could be improved. The room was beautiful, though the body moisturizer didn’t pump properly and may have been empty. There was also no complimentary water bottle provided. On the positive side, the breakfast buffet was delicious and the staff were wonderful.

we were given an end room on 16th Floor. Unfortunately, the air was stale and the aircon didn't pump out fresh air. We were given another room on the same floor with a balcony which was great. It

I will never use Travelocity to book a room or a flight again. Other than the receptionist at the hotel being pleasant they made it very clear that a booking through a third party did not have the same status. Even though I had clearly communicated that we would be a day late getting to Christchurch, and the hotel communicated back, they still had my reservation all messed up and it a very long time to get it straightened out and they let me know it was due to booking through a third party. I am with a group and have also let everyone know not to book through services like yours. It was a very bad experience, never again. Jim McDermott

Not worth the price. Cleanliness is not on the level you would expect. First room smelled moldy and in the second heating didn‘t work (as in some other rooms).

Nice hotel, short walk to all the shops and restaurants. Very close to the Casino, and the Tram pick up is right out front. The Bar has some good Happy Hour specials everyday. The Staff were all very nice. We would stay there again.

Front desk staff friendly and accomodating. Cleaning staff good. Gym access with good workout facility. Fresh cold water available in Gym and Foyer. Some room lights not working. Door sensor and swipe card issues. Parking is next to hotel but requires third party payment $NZD 25. Maintenance of property requires some attention. Did not have meal at hotel as lots of options outside but prices are very reasonable. Central prime location.
