Stayed one night. Booked a cheap room as a last minute booking. I was very surprised at how polished the room was for this price: very comfortable! Parking was not an issue. Bus stop is outside. Several eateries nearby in Riccarton. Will now be one of my go to accommodation options in Christchurch. Thanks for the great stay!
