Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

8/10 Good
"Property is clean, new and well maintained. Breakfast is good but because we donโ€™t eat beef and pork we would consider your hotel having chicken sausages etc as we are limited to the options at breakfast. Also check in was very slow, frustrating especially when you are tired. Needs improvement. House keeping was poor too. We ordered some drinks and waited but never came."

"Clean and comfortable, and a great central location. Having to rely on public paid parking makes up for the cheaper stay. A bit disappointed when I realised I got charged for an upgraded room that I didn't request and wasn't consulted about. Staff were helpful and relatively friendly. The room and gym are quite small, but clean and all the essentials covered."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is a very convenient location to the terminal. Often international flights get in late like mine and I emailed the hotel in advance to let them know I was a late checkin and my room was ready and the team on hand were so friendly and helpful. The room felt fresh, the sheets were so soft. I honestly had the best sleep after my flight and didnt rush leaving because of late checkout."
