Easy check in, great location close to areas of Christchurch. Room was clean, maybe a touch dated but for the price I thought it was great. Sliding door being the main entrance was a bit unique, but the curtains effectively blocked light and sound (for as much as you can in a city).

The main negative was the noise from outside (on the stairs, upstairs, adjoining room and from the street). Positives are that the location was convenient with or without a car; the room was quite spacious and functional.
