We loved the location 😊 it was all clean and welcoming. Loved the family room but sadly wasnt told about it which would of been nice at.check in. We also would of loved some cultery and plates as we were traveling with a little one, you provided it apon request which was nice. The heat pump in our room needed filters cleaned, when we put it on heating it smelt horrible.

The hotel had introduced paid parking since our last stay, and this wasn't obvious when we booked. We would have chosen a different hotel if we had realised. Its a shame as we have used this hotel several times due to its central location (to Chch overall, not to the city centre) and easy parking. We will just have to choose somewhere else in the future.

The check in went smoothly and the room was good. We had a balcony which was small. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. My major gripe with this hotel was the fact of charging paying hotel guests $20 per day to park on the premises. Not sure how common that is, but ive never struck it before. For visitors, by all means. But for guests, i thiught was a bit much

When we got into our room, we found the toilet was not cleaned at all and we could see disgusting stains on the seat also some hair on the towels. Asked room service to clean and the lady who came for cleaning was very nice and cleaned all the toilet area and changed the towels. The reception was not helpful even during the check in didn't give us any advise on the parking area and that we needed to pay for the daily park there. Location was good and just walk to the centre.

Disliked: Amenities
We’ve had enjoyable stays at Rydges Latimer Square on numerous occasions but this time felt disappointed in the condition of the room. The room had sparse amenities, and low quality, thin towels and pillows. The carpet had also noticeable stains. Of particular disappointment was the quality of the mattress - both my partner and I found it very uncomfortable and had poor sleep as a result.
