Unfortunately, we were only here for about 5 hours as we decided to check out early and return to Christchurch due to a red weather warning. However, the place seemed well equipped and spotless with plenty of parking available. There was demolition taking place next door, though I cannot comment on morning noise I can imagine the nearby main road and construction would be quite noisy. We did try to ask reception staff on their opinion regarding the red weather warning (we’re from the UK so didn’t know how serious it was). The young chap on reception seemed oblivious to the government warning and said he wouldn’t know where to check to get advice - something that baffles me considering they are in hospitality and it was all over the national news. We made the right decision as by the next morning all the roads back to Christchurch were closed and many areas had lost power. The Christchurch hotel we stayed at issued a warning to all guests to stay inside during the warning, they ensured we had this information by posting a print out under our door. Very much in contrast to the Nelson hotel. The hotel seems like it could be a good, clean option for a night or two if you need to stay in Nelson.
