Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was beautiful, and the entire property was visually pleasing and well maintained. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I had broken my ankle and they arranged for a shower chair and special parking to accommodate my limitations.
