Disliked: Cleanliness
Room looked clean and tidy when entering the room but after looking around it did need a bit of a deep clean. Skirting boards and bathroom fan especially. Room had everything we needed but was nosy at times with road noise and planes. Staff were amazing and helpful. This is a great location to stay with being in the middle of everything. I would stay again

Close to Riccarton Westfield

The unit was lovely, tidy, clean and nice decor. A few small areas in entryway that could do with a paint touch up. Outside is superficially tidy but closer to shows a few areas around the bottom of the units and the stairs could do with more than a lick of paint. These details are not negative comments just would enhance the area. Staff very helpful when required. A carving or cooking knife would be a good addition to the cutlery. Kitchenette very tidy and well presented. Very comfortable stay. Very handy to Westfield shops, restaurants, buses, movies and sightseeing.
