BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
My only complaint is - no window in my room. If you’re going to sell someone a place to stay, you should need to be a bit more explicit about that. Not down to any staff there - everyone was happy and helpful

Bealey Quarter
The room was acceptably clean and quiet as it was at the end of the hallway. even though a bunch of young kids were staying at the hotel and we're kind of rowdy, our room was quite quiet. The housekeeping staff was exceptional
