Clean and quiet hotel within walking distance to many points of interest within Christchurch. Front staff were friendly and helpful although check-in time was busy so be prepared to wait. The restaurant looked nice (we didn't dine there) but the bar staff seemed overrun. We waited for more than 5 minutes to order a drink (no one else was at the bar) and after not getting served - or even acknowledged - we left to go elsewhere.

The hotel is lively and the front desk staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff is lacking in service levels (takes a long time to get service) with the exception of a young man by the name of Sam. He was very friendly, attentive and highly service oriented. We enjoyed our stay very much - just found most of the restaurant staff to be quite slow.
