Novotel Christchurch Airport
Room was clean, organized. Closest to the airport and there are buses going downtown/the city which you can use your tap credit/debit card if you don't have the metro card (i think $3/ride) The whole hotel is clean and organized. Nice amenities. Helpful staffs and they have a luggage weighing scale ...
