"This was a great place to stay, close to the arts centre of Christchurch and good clean rooms. Only issue was the cleaning of the bathrooms at 8am in the morning - a time when I think people would be using them. I think it would be better to do this after check out time."

"This a place that is trying to get the Brighton area up and revived. The area could be amazing . I hope some investors come revitalize this area so that small business owners can thrive. Bedroom was clean, and Bed was comfortable kitchen and bathrooms. Look to be newly remodeled the rest of the area as in communal areas are a bit outdated."
