Bealey Quarter
Staff were friendly, even got offered a bbq sausage when we arrived! Restaurant on site which was great. Walked to a concert we were attending which was only about 10-15mins away so very handy!

Novotel Christchurch Airport
Dreadful - oversold our room, left us without a room at the hotel at 1am, with the backup option 15 min shuttle away. Did not let us know ahead of time, instead surprised us upon check in. Stay somewhere else nearby. Disgraceful.

Clean room very comfy, I could see sunrise from my window. No air conditionar but there was a fan. I was traveling in March so I didn't need the fan. Tidy and neat. Helpful staff.
