"Check in was very efficient and we received a complimentary upgrade with this being our third stay at the Airport Gateway. The studio unit was spacious with good amenities and an excellent shower. Complimentary airport shuttle booked is a real bonus even at 4am so thank you. We will definitely always choose to stay here when leaving from Christchurch airport."
