Bealey Quarter
(I didn't have the breakfast as I had to leave early) nice kitchen and communal areas, bunk was fine but I was by the door and was disturbed by the slamming, and the mirror kept directing the room light into my bunk!

Novotel Christchurch Airport
Polite, helpful staff. Very clean room, with all the amenities one needs. Comfortable bed/mattress, but large pillows gave me a sore neck. Why do you not supply an option of a softer, flatter one?
