BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"Travel to Christchurch bi-monthly on Thursdays for work, stay at the Commodore for first night (work pays). Then I stay the weekend at the Ramada. Last week I couldn't get into the Ramada on Tuam. So booked in at the Breakfree. I was pleasantly surprised. Dbl bed, internal glass corner bathroom. Bed very comfortable, and pitch black when lights are off as no windows. Great shower and good linen and towels stayed 3 nights. Right in town so walking distance to CBD, Arts preccinct, great food selection and Riverside markets. I ate out 3 days for breakfast, so can't comment on buffet breakfast. Looks good and will try it next time. Staff friendly and housekeeping. Highly reccommend this jem."
