I was put on the first floor in an "accessible" room. There was a constant rattle and loud noise coming from the wall. When I complained, they said it was some sort of extractor fan thing - it was so loud and made the stay very unenjoyable.

The receptionist looks as if she didn’t want to be there. Not good at explaining things. She speaks like a robot. Not cheerful enough ro be working at the front deck. Parking is not ideal. We paid for onsite but couldn’t park at our own spot. When booking for parking there was no confirmation email send through. We have to ring up and check. The restaurant the guy who work in there was so loud and not professional. Keep talking to the customer he likes and ignore the rest of the guests. No greeting from restaurant people as he was busy chatting. The shower is not clean. Yellow stain of soap scum can be seen on the tile and shower glass

This spotless and modern hotel was a 10-minute stroll to downtown and close to several cafes and restaurants (including one in the lobby). The room was spacious and, again, spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. Everything looked brand new. If you tell them ahead of time you need parking, you might score a parking spot right downstairs. Either way, the second parking lot is literally across the street. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

It was clean & comfy but kind of noisy (heard people walking in halls & upper floors). Parking lot only has about 12 spots so have to find off site parking. We arrived late (just after 10pm) & asked if there was anywhere to grab a bite & a drink. Front counter said nowhere was open but there’s a casino around corner with food & drinks open until midnight.

Lovely hotel only a 14 minute walk from the Centre
We only stayed one night at the Carnmore Hotel the night before we left Christchurch on our flight home. It was a lovely spacious room with a very comfortable bed. It had a fridge with tea/coffee & milk. The bathroom was modern and spacious and the staff were very pleasant.
