A girls weekend in Christchurch. Weather wasn’t great neither was the accommodation- all a bit lack lustre. Bellanio maybe ‘trendy, modern, boutique’ from the outside, but under the hood it’s tired and dated. We had a groundfloor room in the corner at the back. The little courtyard patio was the best thing about the room. The bed was old, soft and saggy. The throw was scratchy vinyl. The dated scruffy faux leather couch was uncomfortable like the bed. Another redeeming feature- the shower was hot and powerful. Alas all single use products in the bathroom. Kitchenette is well equipped- with mismatching random utensils, not needed with a microwave. There’s no in room recycling, but there are DIY bins in the yard. The situation isn’t helped that a lot of hotels, apartments and Airbnb in Otautahi Christchurch have been rebuilt or remodelled or are new build. These new, fresh modern places just make Bealey Ave motels look more tired.
