In reality, I would rate this property 3.5. It was very clean and close to public transportation (bus) as well as the TranzAlpine train station. It was 6 miles from the airport but the drive time seemed longer. It's fairly close to Hagley Park South with the downtown area on the other side of it. It was a very pleasant walk.
The property itself seemed updated w/ a nice bathrooms. We actually stayed here twice- once on a Friday and Sunday night. In the interim, we rode the TranzAlpine train to Greymouth. There are limited amenities on the property itself and the surrounding area is semi-industrial and commercial.
The owner/ manager was very nice and pleasant. She was very helpful. I'd stay here again but it's not a place to "hang out".
