Room appeared to have been recently redone. Small garden was beautiful. After hours key drop was convenient. Staff helpful. Room was in excellent condition and very comfortable. Kitchenette was more than adequately stocked for two people. We were worried about noise as our room was closest to a main road near a railway. The traffic did not keep us awake. Other rooms were more distant from the traffic. Definitely recommend as a comfortable place to stay in Ashburton.
