Amazing breakfast buffet. Worth coming just for that. The rooms are very good. The only down side is the air is dry - but that’s probably a Christchurch thing.

Great-almost

Hotel room was very clean, staff was great, however, there is a lot of local construction projects, Jackhammers started at 7am and did not stop until 7pm. This may change in the future.
