I will never use Travelocity to book a room or a flight again. Other than the receptionist at the hotel being pleasant they made it very clear that a booking through a third party did not have the same status. Even though I had clearly communicated that we would be a day late getting to Christchurch, and the hotel communicated back, they still had my reservation all messed up and it a very long time to get it straightened out and they let me know it was due to booking through a third party. I am with a group and have also let everyone know not to book through services like yours. It was a very bad experience, never again. Jim McDermott

Yes the room was clean and the staff were courteous. However we were very disappointed that having booked the room in February nearly nine months before occupancy and that our booking was for five (5) nights that a room with a view and higher up the level would have been more appropriate, rather than one overlooking the air conditioners.

Hi, the room was very good / excellent apart from one major distraction. Sadly, for me, the bed was too soft. As I suffer with back problems this can cause major problems.

You can’t go past a Crown hotel - they have never been but excellent for us in each state. Staff were excellent and the room was spacious. Central location so walkable to everything. The only odd thing I would say is there is a blind that you can open/close that separates the bathroom and everything…I don’t think I want to be watching anyone on the toilet
