Steve

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Bed and bathroom were nice, room was spacious. Lack of microwave was a huge miss. Having defrosted but still cold lunch that we brought was not nice, and the on-site food options were horrendously expensive, so we looked elsewhere in Christchurch for other food options. Parking was convenient and easy, but also shockingly expensive. I appreciate that there were spoons, glasses, and mugs. I would've really liked hot chocolate sachets provided, instead of so many different types of tea that I won't drink. This form mentions free breakfast, when in fact the booking explicitly said breakfast was not provided for free.

I have booked Rydges Latimer several times over many years thru hotels.com Parking has always been “ available” and Free. This time it was $25 per night. But you only find that out when you arrive. So be warned. If you have a car, add $25 per night to the charge. Because the hotel doesn’t tell you that before you book.
