The location is ideal and the staff could not have been any more helpful. The restaurant has a great selection of choices and the breakfast buffet was enjoyed by my husband while I had a huge custom made Omelette.I am here 3 days to speak at the New Zealand Lavender conference and will come back to the Distinction next January when I return to NZ

Average hotel, certainly not 4 star. Front desk couldn't be bothered with answering the simplest of questions. Room service stated that they could not deliver to our room for an hour and a half.

One of the staff at Reception by name of Mila was very helpful. She went out of her way to explain things, including suggestion for dining options, printed list of hotel room service in case we were too tired to venture out. Hotel was very central to tram rides, shopping and dining.

Great hotel, reasonably priced
The corner room was awesome, too bad it looked over the construction site that is in process of rebuilding the Christchurch church. Bathroom had space for toilet bags. Small frig was a nice touch. Microwave would have been helpful. Hotel close to food, museums, etc
