总体非常满意，完美开启了我们的新西兰之旅，是性价比很高的酒店
Pros:

位置很好，离机场比较近。
周边吃饭采购都很方便，咖啡厅也不错。
停好车非常方便。

Cons:

房间里的两个面对面的小沙发显得很拥挤，但是无伤大雅。
冰箱刚好放在床头边，晚上似乎有一点声音，但我不确定是不是冰箱的声音。

Suitable location for visiting U. Canterbury
Pros:

Checking in at the front desk was fast and easy. The room was thoroughly clean and fresh, and the comfortable bed ensured a good night's sleep. The onsite café served lovely Vietnamese coffee and pastries in the morning. The location was quiet, even though it looked like the road would be busy and is convenient for the University of Canterbury.

Cons:

Off-street parking was convenient, but tight when the car park was nearly full. A good test of driving skills!

Exceeded expectations and great value for money.
Pros:

Our room was quiet, modern, clean and comfortable. The hotel was in a great location with bus stop outside and easy walk to Westfield shopping mall. Bed was nice, big and comfortable, bathroom was large and clean.
Receptionist was friendly, welcoming and helpful and let us store our luggage after check out.

Cons:

On site cafe did not open until 8.00am so couldn't get early morning coffee before having to leave.
