We’ve been touring New Zealand and have stayed in a number of places. The staff was nice. The facility was nice and spotless. The bar was nice. The TV had a number of channels and it was easy to stream. In fact, most everything was very nice. Our two complaints involved the loud elevator “dings” from operation during the night and the buffet breakfast which lacked enough help to make things move smoothly and keep the supply of food available. Nonetheless, if we returned to Christchurch we would probably stay at the Crown Plaza again.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was not so great as I found 2 pieces of mouldy bread the first day and the waiter took them with no apology, the next few days the 2 so called clean juice cups were loaded with orange juice pulp. The food was simple and the eggs took over 20 minutes to arrive. Overall they did not seem to care or have pride in the restaurant.

Changed our plans at the last minute and went to Christchurch for one night and we honestly wish we stayed longer. Hotel is in a great location close to restaurants and nightlife.
