Excellent location, room was comfortable, and staff made it easy.
Only feedback was that the ironing board was weirdly very dirty and there were no plates or cutlery that we could find, just a mug and teaspoon.
If you are going to an event at the Chch town hall this is the perfect location, a very short walk.

Great place to stay close to the CBD, we easily walked to the Isaac theatre for a show. Very quiet location, no road noise.
Room was very clean and tidy with good seating - only drawback was no windows available to open.
Shower was awesome with a rain head option.
Reception were very friendly and helpful.
Offsite parking felt a bit dodgy as it’s surrounded by graffiti’d walls and very run down buildings, but vehicle was still there each morning.
The restaurant was fantastic - we had both dinner and breakfast, dinner - best steak - highly recommend.
