A clean and organized room with well thought out amenities! Excellent service by intuitive staff! A generously curated spread for breakfast! Water filter stations on every floor offering chilled and sparkling water! A stone’s throw from Christchurch airport (you can literally walk out of the hotel lobby and into the airport in under 8 minutes)! - Absolutely no air traffic noise heard within the hotel itself👍
