Very easy to enter and exit on a busy road. Friendly welcome and the most comfortable bed I have slept on in any motel. My only gripe was access for shower which is over a very deep spa bath. Mobility problems made it awkward. Plenty of hot water though.

Quiet motel for the night

Quiet location despite being on busy road and just up from Riccarton Mall. Was super hot day in Christchurch so was disappointing there was no air conditioning (but a lot of Christchurch motels don’t have these which is a shame given now hot and cold it can get there) but windows had been left open so room wasn’t too stuffy when I arrived. Super nice motel owner who helped carry luggage and showed me the room. Worked well for a one night business stay. Excellent shower pressure and comfortable bed. I would have given it higher ratings if it had air conditioning.
