“In Riccarton, the property strikes me as a practical choice, particularly for those seeking proximity to the university and surrounding dining. The inclusion of kitchenettes and Netflix in each room are smart additions, catering to both short and potentially longer stays. I noted some mentions of early morning noise and parking access needing improvement, details to consider alongside the modern amenities.”
