Nice, clean, older style motel. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Basic amenities but everything I needed for a short stay. My only concern was that having to wash my dishes in the bathroom handbasin felt a bit unhygienic.

Friendly host, good location and parking. No housekeeping
Really enjoyed our stay - more than accomodating team - we were late arriving - no problem - we needed a spot to pop our bags prior to leaving - no problem - very relaxed and spotless bathroom - love the dark coloured 'make up; friendly flannel
Thanks Amy Sonia and team for taking care of us
Good location.
Didn’t like no sky. Couldn’t find Netflix. Manager not on site and got key off cleaner eventually

Hi, Tracy, thanks for your review. The covid 19 has made a lot of change on the type of guests from usual, fortunately those type of guests have mostly gone. hope to see you again as We will improve our service. regards
We stayed here twice in a week, once in a downstairs room which was really good and then in an upstairs room which was really rather noisy. This could have been due to it being a Friday night. All in all though a great stay and handy to Christchurch city. Clean and tidy units. Would stay again.
Road noise was excessive. Our room faced the road.Shutting the window made little difference. These units need to be double glazed with laminated glass to cut down the noise.

Thank you for placing a review.
Bealey avenue has 6 lanes for traffic so at peak times yes it does get a little noisey but quitens down after peak times.
the heatpump is booked in for a service today we would have liked to be told of the issue when the heatpump started making noise.
We are glad you found the general facilities ok.
The motel was conveniently situated within a 15 minute walk to the city. There was a very nice cafe next door, which did very good breakfasts. The downside we were on a main road and were kept awake by hooning drivers on the Saturday night.

Many thanks for taking the time to place a review, The cafe next door is great and so handy for guests.
Bealey avenue does get busy on the weekends and if we can we accomodate guests on the carpark side of the motel.

Thank you for taking the time to review 136 on Bealey Motel.
It was about a 15 minute walk to the city center.
The room was very spacious and clean. It was also convenient that they supplied some basic dishes and utensils so you can eat in your room if you so choose.

The owner Sharni was very helpful with advice and other assistance. Everything was clean and tidy and room service was efficient each day. We stayed in two rooms on different occasions and found that the rooms facing Bealey Street were very noisy as there is a lot of traffic and many cars have loud exhausts. Rooms facing the rear of the property are much quieter.

This place was lovely to stay here! Room was so warm when we got here! Check in was easy. It would have been nice to have soap and shampoos to choose from instead of a hand pump on the wall of the shower.. and there was no hot chocolate. We would stay here again.

Thanks for taking time to place a review, Hot chocolate is available in the executive suites here. We find most people like the convenience of the hand pumps and dispensers on the wall. We are moving towards more eco friendly and find alot more wastage with single soaps and shampoos however we would have been happy to provide you with some. We are happy your room was cosy for you when you arrived and hope to see you again sometime soon.

Bronwyn very friendly and helpful. Great location. Will be recommending it to our traveling friends.
