One night stay near airport.
Pros:

We loved the courtesy veichle and the friendly guy who was available to transfer us to airport at 3am. We also liked the lovely restaurant and quality of food.

Cons:

We did notice a drought coming from the windows which was slightly annoying.

Simply handy to the airport, and closer to basic living requirements (shops) than the Novotel Hotel.
Pros:

Within easy walking distance to Woolworths (major grocery chain), The Coffee Club, Pharmacy, Subway, KFC and McDonald's - plus more.
There is a covered walk way most of the way from the airport to the road across from (but to the left of) the hotel. Head to the left at the end of the covering - towards the telephone box if pulling luggage through the car-park. Heads up about NZ - Look right before walking across a road; don't expect a driver to be looking out for you. Take care to avoid traffic.

Cons:

Inflexible cancellation policy; couldn't cancel and refund a single night of a two night stay. Even when given weeks of advanced notice.
Can't contact them by phone-over-the-internet from the USA - no matter which (Sudima) number is tried. Had to use the Chat facility, and that was a bit spotty with respect to timeliness.
We were told this was an upgraded room but there was nothing special about it. Light above the bed didn't work and there was no fancy K-cup coffee machine.

Excellent proximity to the airport.
Pros:

Handy location, very good reception and excellent restaurant meal.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind. First room allocation inappropriate for us (seniors, second floor, no lift) but this was promptly rectified to a much more seniors-friendly room.

Perfect location for an overnight stay near the airport
Pros:

Great location, just a short walk from Christchurch Airport (CHC). The room was clean and spacious enough for our family of 4 to stay comfortably overnight. Perfect for a convenient stop before or after a flight!
