So glad we stayed here!

Had a wonderful two night stay at the Commodore Hotel. The hotel is nestled on a tree-lined suburb near a huge park and not far from the airport. The customer service is outstanding and the restaurant stays open late and serves the most extensive menu that I’ve ever seen in a hotel at that hour. Gym, pool and sauna are a welcomed treat for any weary traveler.

Huge facility with various "wings" of rooms. Well organized and accommodating. Location excellent if need to be close to the airport, however, property is not on airport grounds. Shuttle service to airport provided. Room was well appointed, clean and as described.

I didn’t have high expectations of an airport hotel but it was great. Clean, comfortable, nice pool the kids loved and the dinner was quite tasty in the restaurant. Free shuttle to the airport at 4am made it all really easy. I would recommend.

Excellent staff , extremely friendly and helpful. Arrived after several days in a motorhome and a lot of driving. Reception staff picked up that we were returning our rental and immediately offered to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel, a great service. The pool and sauna was a great way to relax and we had an excellent evening meal too. We checked out and were able to leave our luggage for the day and then taken to the airport when we needed to go. We would highly recommend this hotel which was also in a bus route into Christchurch .

nice hotel near the airport

We wanted a hotel near the airport and chose the Commodore at random. Staff is friendly, hotel is nice, cleam and modern. My one remark is don't bother with the breakfast buffet, not worth the price (runny eggs and stale bread).
