Do not stay at this hotel! This was our last hotel on a three-week vacation in Australia and New Zealand. To that point, our hotel experiences had been awesome. This one was beyond bad, as took 4 rooms before we got a clean one and even that one had a pair of underwear on the ledge outside our window. However,... More

I spent two nights at this hotel last week. The staff were as good as I have ever dealt with. They were friendly, helpful and very efficient. The rooms were large, although a little dated. We hired a meeting room at this hotel for both days and it was perfect for our needs. It was clean, well laid out and... More

During our visit to Christchurch we spent 4 nights in this very pleasant hotel. Our room was large with ensuite and the king bed was extremely comfortable. We were on the 7th floor and heard no noise from the street or other rooms. The restaurant was airy and spacious, and the food quality was very good. One of the great... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on the Executive Level. The apartment was shabby, the furniture all needed replacing, the kitchen needed renovating and the T.V was the oldest portable we've seen in a long time. Very disappointing. Fortunately we were here only one night. The only positive was the location ias it is within walking distance to all... More

We stayed here for Christmas but soon after check in to our room my wife went to pull a towel off the shelf in the bathroom and caught a shard of chrome plate in her finger - very painful and lots of blood. On closer inspection much of the chrome plate on the shelf rails was peeling off. I returned... More

This hotel is very comfortable, and we were pleased with the great rate which we got on a large and well-equipped room on the Executive level (10th floor). A comment I will make, however, which has nothing to do with the hotel itself, is that there is an extremely loud bar on Cashel St which stays open until well after... More

We originally had another hotel book, but changed it to the this one to save money. But we couldn't believe how nice it was. It's the fanciest Holiday Inn I've ever been to. We had 3 nights here so we needed great location and a practical room, and it did just that. The locations is spot on, it could get... More

The fabulous location of this hotel makes up for any of its other shortcomings (ie: void of any unique character, expensive internet, no wi-fi in rooms and an elevator that doesn't go to the 13th floor). Great value on the 2-bedroom apartment for families- spacious rooms and amazing view of the city. Our room was advertised as smoke-free and it... More
