Good place when you need a sleep.

Overnighted in Ashburton, required a place to sleep. Hotel Ashburton was well priced and well situated. Of course, it wasn't expensive so you need to expect what you pay for. The property is tired but the staff were great, the bed comfortable, the room clean. It was fine.

The hotel is now let down by the quality of the rooms. Hotel rooms are now tired and facilities such as showers over the bath belong to a bygone era. However food and staff were great.
