Home away from home
I enjoyed my stay other than the stairs which was my fault for not requesting no stairs. Staff were all wonderful, kitchen amenities very good. Didn't have stove top or rice cooker which was listed. Shower had great pressure. Very handy to shops and bus system. Ideal for my needs and budget.

Not too far from city centre
The motel is a fairly short walk from the city centre. Quiet location and friendly helpful staff. Shower though was an older style dial turn which varied between ice cold and boiling. Otherwise a comfortable and relaxed stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Our hosts were wonderful. They were helpful and very hospitable. The location of the motel is ideal with a walk into the city and a cafe a few meters away. Our room was clean and warm and we had electric blankets for the cold winter night. Next time in Christchurch we will be back there for our accommodation.

4/10 Fair

The room was very cold as the heat pump was unable to warm the room, paint was peeling in the bathroom above the shower, toiletries minimal, the whole room was dated and little choice for coffee or tea. Shower was good and the water hot but struggling for any real positives especially as it was supposed to be VIP.

6/10 Good

Relatively friendly staff. Office only open 9-6. My VIP perk was ‘breakfast’ a wrapped bowl of cereal and boxed milk delivered in the evening. A bit of a nice walk from the center. Tons of other options to stay in area so I thought they would stay more competitive. Parking is available though it did not apply to me.

2/10 Poor

Honestly over all we had horrible experiences during our staying period . Bed and sofa is not comfortable at all and allso very smelly.
Md Mejbah Udddin, 1-night trip
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

We stayed here for one night prior to an early appointment at Christchurch Hospital. I chose it based on CBD location, breakfast options and parking. The Wifi was really excellent and easy to access. Really the best I've experienced in a hotel. The rest of it was pretty bland and meager. The beds were exceptionally soft, which meant a sore back for a long drive home. The beds also had flat sheets instead of fitted sheets so they ended up rucked up. The duvets didn't have covers either. It was very bare bones. They offered a continental breakfast that would be delievered to the room, but it was very basic and everything sounded tinned. We decided on a nearby cafe instead, Affogato which was exceptional. The possiblity of breakfast was one of the reasons I chose this hotel so it was a bit dissapointing. The sofa bed badly needs updating as you kind of collapse into it and then your legs are resting on the hard edge. While I booked an apartment for 3 they only provided enough toilitries for one, which we made do with. However, only one person in our party has long hair. Over all the feeling was very bare bones. About half an hour after we arrived the air con began leaking. They fixed it promptly, but we were left stepping on wet carpet everytime we entered the bedroom.
