Nice, tidy room with a great shower and super comfy bed. A prefect room for us. Really handy for walking into central Christchurch and very close to great food outlets, the Tram ride and the Catheral Square. Off street parking and very easy to find. I appreciated the extra cleaning done and the friendly staff.

Had a great three night stay. Small kitchen area in room. Huge modern bathroom, comfy bed, lovely linen. Big fluffy towels. Room serviced daily. Outdoor balcony with table and two chairs, very roomy. Good size parking space. Elevator. Really great couple running the business they were very helpful and kind. They are doing a great job. The hotel is modern, roomy, large windows, views to the Alps in the distance. Heated towel rail. It is a marvellous Hotel. 15 minutes walk to the centre of CHCH. I enjoyed a 2 hour walk each day from the hotel in different directions and the environment is leafy and nice. Great stay highly recommend.

This is hands-down our go-to and favourite accommodation in Christchurch. It ticks pretty much every for us and exceeds expectations in so many ways.

A wonderful two night stay commencing with a warm and friendly reception. The room was immaculate , spacious and with fittings of top quality. It was great to have access to a lift, a bonus for us. The room was well presented and fully serviced the next day by cheerful cleaning staff.
James and Kathy are to be congratulated on running an excellent motel and being extremely forthcoming with their customers. Having had and run a large motel ourselves for ten years, now retired, we did recognise a good and well organised operation with this motel. We highly recommend this one ,

Comfortable stay

We have stayed at the Prince of Bealey before that found it very nice indeed. The Bealey Plaza is run by the same people. The rooms are a bit smaller, but very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and the shower was lovely. Kitchen was small but had everything you could need and more, definitely would not complain about the kitchen. We just mentioned one thing to the staff and that was that someone had put Garlic in the fridge and it had left a very strong smell. The bed was nice, a little to hard to our liking but very comfortable overall. Pillows were great. All in all a nice room. We had a balcony but unfortunately overlooked a very busy road. The lift is a great too, not always found at a motel. Great price too. We would stay here again for sure.

Sleek finishes

Unusual motel in that the finishes are rather high end for its type of establishment. The fire exit door between our room and our neighbour's did bleed a fair amount of noise, but otherwise a superior motel experience, especially at the price. Also enjoyed the fact that one could easily walk to a main street with a number of restaurants.
