Was Great Stay Thank You, Loved Our Room!! I Would Maybe Say The Parking Was Confusing, Carpark Was Full And Couldn't Park On Road Side, Did Ring Staff At 2am To Inquire Bout Parking And Staff Member Was Very Professional And Polite Even Tho The Time. But Maybe For Future Staying, Might Help To Put The Policy With Disabled Parking Somewhere To Avoid Anyone Else Getting Confused.

Nice place to stay, relatively modern look. Was really happy and would stay again however there are a few annoying things...reception wasnt open hours it has on door and the internal number to get help wasnt working. Cleaners didnt speak english but were very friendly and polite mannered. Parking is limited which i didnt expect so ended up having to park on a busy street. Place itself is walking distance to riccarton mall, nice clean and comfortable

Lovely refurbished hotel with everything you need. Our bed was extremely comfortable and our room was very quiet, despite being on a busy road. We were greeted warmly and offered a bottle of milk for tea/coffee. A fabulous first night of our holiday, thank you.

Great hotel.
This was a great pick for our stay in Christchurch. It was close to the Railway Station, shopping ,eateries as well as the CBD area. I also was looking for somewhere that had self parking for free! Sometimes this is hard to find in cities! The staff were very welcoming. Our room was very well set up, clean, warm and comfy. The bathroom was a good size with great shower - would have been good to have shelves or something in the shower to put your things! Nice bed with good linen. The room was quiet even though it was on a main road. Highly recommend

This is an outstanding motel well deserving of the excellent reviews. For the price it is spectacular, and I most highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again! My only complaint was not the motel's fault at all. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a lot of noise from stupid and drunk people in the adjacent apartments from 12-1 AM. Otherwise the area around the motel was fine--we walked to a nice restaurant several blocks away recommended by the proprietor at 8 PM and returned at 10 PM and felt very safe. This motel is most highly recommended!!!

Fresh, clean and well appointed, this motel ticked all our boxes in terms of what we want when we travel. The courteous, professional and uber-helpful staff/proprietor let me book in early, and even went so far as to ring me and let me know when our unit was ready. We will definitely be back. Thank you for your excellent hospitality.

The owner was very helpful, explaining the various ways we could get downtown. The motel is within easy walking distance of the railway station which is why we chose it.

Good stay but small room
We had a good stay here. They supplied everything in the kitchen and the bathroom. The room was clean. Staff was friendly. The rooms are very cramped though. With your luggage you might not have enough space to move around the room.
