The hotel's ocean view room, unfortunately, didn't offer a view of the ocean but instead overlooked a derelict building awaiting demolition post-earthquake. However, the room itself was very comfortable for my family of 5, although the air conditioning was too cold. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Christchurch city, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The dining experience was exceptionally good but a little on the pricey side. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel is excellently situated just across from the cathedral, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are a bit small but sufficient, though a slight musty smell lingers, indicating a past leak issue. The service was good, offering various amenities like room service and tours assistance. The dining options were limited to deep-fried pub food, but the buffet breakfast was a good start to the day. Overall, a decent stay marred slightly by the room condition.
