Changed our plans at the last minute and went to Christchurch for one night and we honestly wish we stayed longer. Hotel is in a great location close to restaurants and nightlife. We walked and rented scooters. Room had everything you need. Clean and spacious rooms and a great view. Bed was comfy and staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
