The building was dirty and reeked of smoke and what smelled like urine. I didn’t bother staying the night.

Novotel Christchurch Airport
Very efficient hotel needs more personal touch. With an early morning flight it would’ve been nice to get a cup of coffee before the 6 AM opening of the restaurant. Suggestion would be to have a serving station of just coffee for the clients.
