Poor reception welcome

Any business is only as good as it's worst staff member and I think we were checked in by this person. 2 girls pushed past me in the doorway as we entered (I am disabled and use crutches, they literally pushed my crutches out of the way) but my husband was in front of them. This person insisted these girls were before us to check in.... which I wasn't having and in return he was rude and gruff and incredibly unhelpful. The hotel itself is fine, great location for us, nice room, comfortable bed, quiet. But sadly, our trip is remembered by that rude first "greeting"....

Great location in the centre of Christchurch right next to a laneway full of restaurants and bars. A short walk (10 minutes) to riverside markets where there are a whole lot of food stalls, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Plenty of parking next to the hotel. Also, next door is a small mall with a convenience store and bottle shop. Clean, spacious room and friendly staff.
