Good airport accoms

Nice easy accomodation at Christchurch airport. The shuttle always comes by quickly when you call and the rooms are always nice and quiet. I always book the queen beds so you don't get split king beds. Need to remember to bring sports gear and togs as this place has a good gym and pool and keep forgetting...

Excellent staff, clean rooms, really close to airport so if you are coming in late at night and you just want to relax in your room this place is it. Breakfast buffet is pretty good. One thing I wasn’t able to find was someplace to purchase bottled water. Maybe the tap water at the hotel is good to drink, I’m not sure.

Attention to detail

A contender for fast becoming our favorite place to stay in Christchurch. Unassuming from the outside, The Commodore offers so much more than your standard hotel, beautifully kept native gardens, ev chargers, tennis courts, indoor pool, spacious rooms with their mini courtyards or balconies and a personable restaurant that serves stand out meals. To top it off, the staff are excellent.
