Room as billed as luxury - definitely wasn't, very basic and dated. Refused to use credit card provided with booking causing upset with our judges who were using the accommodation, and a raft of extra work in having to claim and get reimbursed.

We were moved to another room because of the tv not working which was fine, but when we returned after night out toour new room there was an awful sewage smell seeping into room. Think they needed to sort drains. Very tired units. Bed very comfortable though

It wasnt clean there was mould round the bathroom window that had a piece ofwire attached to try to open it as the latch was missing. There was no fan or ventilation in bathroom toilet area so after having a shower the steam made the floor slippery. The bed were so hard and uncomfortable that I restless sleep and woke with a extremely sworn back and little sleep. Would not stay again.

We liked staying here. The owner was friendly and had some great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. The room was a bit old fashioned but with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. There was Sky TV and free wifi (that I assumed was unlimited because it never ran out but we weren't heavy users) I had concerns about road noise being right on Blenheim Road but the room was set far enough back from the road and adequately soundproofed so we didn't hear a thing. I'd stay here again.

Double bed mattress had collapsed and head end lower than the feet end. Had to place blankets under the mattress to be able to sleep level . A very uncomfortable nights sleep. Discovered in the morning that the hot plate didn’t work. The second person to shower ran out of hot water. The new looking shower and LED lights don’t make up for a very tired property . 3 differenct Motel stays in Christchurch in 2 weeks, and this was the only one to disappoint. 1 star at best.

Not quite what I expected! Over time I grew to like the place. My only criticism is the awkwardness of having one toilet for potentially six people; especially when another guest was in the toilet/shower for nearly one hour.
