Keith
This is not downtown, but it is a good location that splits the difference between the airport and CBD. I walk, and it’s an easy (but longish) walk to the city center. Bus service is also frequent, and there is direct service to both the CBD and airport. It’s super clean, super quiet, and very comfy. It has a kitchenette. It’s overall a great spot.
Sandra
Fantastic batch for a family, with space for us all and all the amenities you need. Clean and tidy with off street parking and close to everything and great views.
Patricia
Pleasant 3 day stay , very convenient if you don’t have a car ,on the main bus route Riccarton Rd if you want to go to Westfield Mall or the City ,walking distance to Bush Inn Mall lots of eating places and supermarket
Would stay here again

I stayed here for 4 days and I can't speak highly enough of this motel the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful.
The motel is centrally situated to almost every holiday highlight you want to see in Christchurch also so many restaurants and fast food outlets.

A good tidy motel, and a good size room for 3 of us. Would stay again.

Lovely place to stay. Awesome
Lenore
The room was clean. The laundry facilities was wonderful to have.
Devki
Super close and convenient to the University main campus. Riccarton is a main thoroughfare, with busses directly into the city. The studio room I was in had an effeciency kitchen with all the kitchen gear needed. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Extra shout out for super comfy pillows, easy to control (and working!) heat /cool unit, and nice towels. The little things truly make a difference. The Wi-Fi was strong, fast and steady. Great for when I had to work. Parking is a bit tight and tricky, but honestly, who cares?

This motel was fabulous. We decided to escape the rain and our camper for the night. The room was cheerful and clean. The kitchenette was well stocked and we didn’t need any supplies from our camper. They even gave us a carton of milk for our hot chocolates. Washing laundry was free and the dryer was the standard 4$. We never heard a peep all night. Would definitely recommend this location!
Chris
Very clean and tidy
Andre
Good location, kind staff and comfortable bed. Would happily stay again.
Sandra
Super clean room and bedding with comfortable furnishings. Extra friendly and helpful staff. Our room (13) had a large patio door that lead on to a courtyard with picnic table. Very quiet motel. Great location on bus line that ran every 10 minutes to center of city and every 1/2 hr to airport. 5 minute bus ride or 15 minute walk to lovely fashion mall. Easy check -in and they held our bags at no charge while we explored before heading to the airport later in the afternoon. Enjoyed our stay!

Micheal
My sons favourite straw was mistakenly thrown in the trash.
I went to office to see if i could get it back they said no problem and went through all the trash for that day and got it back for him.
Wifi was a bit spotty when we got there they came down to check straight away when he couldnt fix it there and then he offered for us to move rooms to fix the problem.
Helpful friendly and always keen to go the extra mile to help with any enquiry.
Would definitely return to this motel.

Enjoyed my stay for 5 nights. Nice and quiet
Jack
Room was clean and staff were super kind. But the room is old and the shower is a wet room (no shower boundaries except for shower curtains) so the whole bathroom floor gets wet, and the shower water pressure is very weak.
Deirdre
Clean room and super friendly staff 😊
Robert
Good choice near the University of Canterbury
I stayed 10 nights in a one-bedroom apartment at the 298 Westside Motor Lodge. It was quiet and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped to meet my needs. There were extra electrical outlets added in the bedroom, but more were needed on the wall in the living room, as the TV took up all the outlets yet I wanted to work with my laptop at the table. Wifi dropped out a few times but only for a short while. The free use of a washing machine for laundry was help[ful.

Close to Christchurch airport for last night of our South Island adventure . Lovely quiet room with an awesome bed & spa bath . Nice 👍

MALCOLM
Clean, Comfortable and Well Equipped.
I can't fault the hotel.. Its the second time I have used it and when I come over again from the U.K to see my brother in Christchurch I'll use the same hotel. Its clean, comfortable and well equipped and the staff are friendly. And considering it is on a main road it is very quiet
Shaneel
Generally ok. The parking is quite tight and the room service was hit and miss, we have service where they clean and tidied but didnt provide additional soap or washing items. We did ask for it and got it but strange that it wasnt topped up every night. Unfortunately the spa is a complete let down, in the process of filling up the spa the hot water runs out so it isnt possible to fill the spa with hot water and there is no heater function for the spa. Once the hot water runs out, you are stuck having to shower with cold water as there is no hot water left and to top it off the clog would allow water to get through so you generally dont have a good bath either way.

Comfort and value in Riccarton Road
A comfortable place down Riccarton Road between Riccarton and Bush Inn malls. Some aspects were looking a little tired, e.g. basin in the bathroom, but overall great value and service
Fiona
This is a good value motel. Not flash but was perfect for my needs and it was great to have a heat pump and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. Very handy to Canterbury university. Staff were efficient and friendly.

This was a very comfortable place to stay. My partner and I have agreed that we will return here if we are to stay in Christchurch again.
It is nice and quiet, despite being on the main road. We had easy access onto Riccarton road, and parking on site was easy and maneuverable.
The spa room was worth the extra penny, we highly recommend staying here.
