'Stretch limo' arrived late to pick us up for an early morning flight and we almost missed our flight! Room also didn't impress us too much. Not what I expected for 4 stars! More

The only thing good about this hotel was pick-up from airport. The room was very small and dirty. Had checked in at 1 AM and was disgusted with the room but as was supposed to leave early morning didn't give it much of a thought. Next day paid them cash against my booking.com confirmation and specifically asked them not to... More

As per registration card conditions, the damage to the unit was repaired, and the cost on charged to the credit card supplied by the guest. The Airport... More

We stayed here after finally being able to fly from Wellington to Christchurch. We were stuck for a room so found the hotel on the internet and called, we were able to be picked up in a stretch limo and taken to the hotel only a few kilometers away. Room was nice and spacious, was a bit far away from... More

We were given instructions in our booking to ring from the airport on arrival which we did and were then picked up with no delay in a stretched limo with all our luggage and transported free... More

We booked a night at this establishment and, due to an overseas flight delay, couldn't use the booking. We called from overseas prior to advise the situation and were told our credit card would be charged for the night regardless. When any kind of refund was refused, we suggested a change to the following night but this was also refused.... More

I arrived about 9.30pm by car as arranged. It was a cold wintry night. The heating was not turned on. It was cold & unappealing. Eventually got heating going and woke in middle of the night freezing. The heater was on a timer switch! Told them next morning - not interested. As the guy said 'we are always full'. Well... More

I made a reservation a week in advance, yet only deluxe rooms were available. So when I arrived, noticing the parking lot was almost empty, I asked for a ground floor room. (I have bad knees and stairs are difficult.) Not only was I told there were none, I was given a room at the farthest possible point from the... More
