Well priced, clean and well maintained. Very handy location with car parking walkable to the city centre and some good restaurants and bars nearby. Would definitely stay here again
Jeremy
Great location. We had a good walk in the Central City. We stayed at a 2-bedroom apartment and we found everything that we need. The place is clean. The bed is comfortable although some other furnitures are a bit dated. We stayed at the first floor so we had to take our luggage up the stairs. Check in is fast and easy. Overall a pleasant stay.
Neil
Very happy with our stay and staff, very helpful.

Raj
We checked in late due to delayed flights, but by prior arrangement the keys to the unit were left inside.
Had a surprise when we discovered electric blankets had been turned on for us that cool evening.
Certainly worth a return visit if we were in Christchurch

As well as casino and restaurants.

Good comfy hotel
Good roomy and comfortable hotel. A bit of a walk to the centre of town but close to restaurants and some key sights.
Robyn
On booking confirmation.it was noted that a king bed had been confirmed so we contacted the motel two weeks prior to arrival to request a change to twin beds. This was confirmed albeit seemed to be done grudgingly. When we arrived early, they were happy to store our bags. When we came back later in the day,we were not particularly warmly welcomed. They were not helpful with bus services or means of transport to airport or railway station.
The room was spacious however a large sofa did dominate the area where the outside patio was accessed. Although the water pressure was wonderful, the shower box was made smaller due to shelving on one wall.
Our last service did not replace condiments or toilet paper or the face flannels.
The TV service was appreciated. The room was clean and tidy and within walking distance of central city.

I have double charged from a hotel. I told a reception when I came to check in on 30 November 2024 that I had paid. However she told me. I did not pay yet and she ask me to pay again.After I recheck my room was paid on 8 July 2024.I think the staff at check in counter lack of training and make a big mistake.

Close to CBD, walkable, easy to find location. About the room. I booked a twin room, small space but adequate. The shower door did not close completely therefore water pooling on the floor when showering if not careful. Great kitchen fully stocked with everything you need on a short stay.

Quiet accommodation in walking distance to city, parks attractions and dining options. Facilities were clean well kept and modern. Very enjoyable.
Nikki
Quiet
The room was generally good but it did have a really odd smell - like farm animals? - and the upstairs bedroom was a bit annoying if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. On the upside the rooms were quiet and dark and parking was convenient.
Cherie
Easy checkin, great parking. Lovely motel and lovely walks to city
Leighton
Perfect stay in Christchurch.
Our flight was delayed, but the team did such an incredible job accommodating, to the extent of ensuring the electric blankets were on, and the place was ready for us to feel comfortable as quickly as possible. Thankfully we found this spot, so close to many things downtown as well as in such good condition.
