Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed overnight before travelling to Christchurch. Signage to parking areas needs to be added to make it clear where to park, was raining heavily when we arrived and if you don't know the area it is very frustrating. Night manager was super friendly and helpful, he really made checking in super easy. Finding the room was tricky as the room nr signage for each floor is not very clear. We came down to find out about dinner only to be told that neither of the restaurants at the hotel were operating even though COVID alert levels are at 2 so shouldn't have been an issue. The lovely night manager suggested we try one of the restaurants nearby and was trying to direct us when he was interrupted by another staff member. Although she came out to show us where to go i found that VERY unprofessional - as the guest it made me cringe, can't imagine what the other staff member felt like. Breakfast was supposed to be included but all we got were 2 slices of dried up cold toast and a pottle of cereal with no milk. The yoghurt was too thick to make it palatable - very disappointing and we are not happy considering the price. House keeping staff also need to be trained better - we had a 10am check out and at 9.45am a staff member knocked loudly and asked if we were done yet! Honestly that is the first time I have experienced that on any travels and was really annoyed. On the positive side, the room was super clean and comfy with a lovely view over the pool and could see the harbour when standing on the balcony. For a 4 star facility it was not really what we expected.

It's a very nice hotel and great value for money at current prices. Unfortunately because of lack of staff and guests the bar wasn't open during our stay. Neither was the restaurant open for evening meals. Only room service was available. The menu looked extremely interesting and I would most definitely eaten in the restaurant had it been open but not the kind of food I want to eat sitting on my bed while balancing my plate on my knee. There was a desk and one chair in the room, obviously not enough for a couple to enjoy a relaxed meal. The fridge in our room was a bar fridge so there was no freezer compartment and the fridge hummed the entire time. Otherwise the room was quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent, Modern. Large walk in shower with flexible shower hose and detachable shower head. Very effective, easy to control heating.

We stayed in a family room on the ground floor, and while the room definitely had some ‘original’ features, it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The continental breakfast included in the price was better than expected, so value for money was outstanding. Would 100% stay here again.

Very tired, wouldn't go back. We've stayed here on a number of occasions, always been okay. This time was a different experience, I suspect due to change in ownership & management. Property is looking very tired and run-down. We were there on a Grabone deal and despite having emailed the voucher at time of booking we were still requested to re-present at booking-in. The daily cooked breakfast was very small and there were no options for my coeliac wife. The whole experience was just not great and we would rather pay extra to stay elsewhere.

This could be a great hotel with a bit of investment.
This is a tired property in bad need of an update. Room lacked furniture such as a coffee table. Carpet old, lighting was dingy. View was nice.
Bathroom vanity cupboard had been removed. Mould in shower. Limited space for toiletries. Forgot towels during cleaning service then did not provide full replacement set.
Included continental breakfast was poor with limited selection. Upgrading to full breakfast was satisfactory.
Pool looked like it was in bad need of cleaning.

Car parking was available on site but was a bit limited although further carparks were available just around the corner. Check-in was quick and easy and the staff were very friendly. Our room was a king ocean view room and had a super-king bed, desk, table and chairs and outside chairs on the balcony overlooking the pool with good views to the bay. We found our room very clean and comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised how quiet the room was. A cooked breakfast was included in our package and the wee add-ons were very reasonably priced ( orange juice, bowls of fresh fruit salad and a barista coffee).

Apartment was very spacious and bed was extremely comfortable; bathroom was small but clean and did the job. The hotel pool was very nice.
There were two negatives to comment on: 1. the TV (satellite) was so unstable as to be impossible to watch. 2. I have never seen a self-catering apartment with so little cooking equipment. Basically, two each of cutlery, bowls, plates, & two (over-sized) kitchen knives, no bottle opener, can opener or bowl for (for example) preparing a salad into. The meagre cost of adding a few more items of kitchen equipment would make a big difference.

Grotty room and grotty service. We’ve stayed here three times previously and each time it has gotten worse. We were forever hopeful it would be good like the first time we stayed 2 years ago but this time the service was so bad, I felt compelled to write a review to save others’ time. Our second stay 18 mths ago - nice room but the toilet area hadn’t been cleaned and smelled like it!!!!! I asked the cleaner for a bottle of disinfectant and a cloth and cleaned it myself. Third stay, we went to our room to find it hadn’t been made up at all from the previous guests. The staff that time were good and put us in a new room. This trip - shocking. Staff member didn’t even speak to me when I asked if there was an alternative room. This made for an awkward few moments. Everything about him screamed he didn’t want to be there and certainly didn’t want me standing in front of him. We had booked and paid online and it took several phone calls and for him to get permission to refund us. The comment “all this work for one person”, sealed the deal for me to never go back. 0/5
