You get what you pay for

This motel is used for transient workers and social housing. It is very quiet however. When we arrived the person on the desk wasnt terribly interested and spoke next to no English. The room had a TV but no access to free to air channels. They badly need to add freeview. Netflix didnt work because they hadnt paid the bill. This was resolved. Unit was clean and serviceable. Beds were comfy and the shower was awesome. Good points more than balanced out the bad. Its reasonably close to centre of christchurch

Tried to check in 2.30pm and room wasnt ready. Room looked different to photos but I must say the one I got seemed more spacious and cozy. I had horrendous squeeky stairs to walk up and down which made me feel bad for the room that was next to me. And also in my room there were spots that if you walk it sounded like i was banging on the wall 😅 Room service could come at better times as everyday was very different, and I had to keep asking for toilet paper. The last day I was there I got some without asking so I was very thankful for that. I was there 6 nights.

The motel seems "tired" and in need of a do oover. The furniture and applicances are very dated and do not all work. Just an overall worn look to everything. The size of the TV seems very small compared to the rooms and that didn't work anyway. The people did their very best and it was appreciated being given a different room. Thank you. The hot water this morning was cold and I left very early. The booking was for a studio unit which looked lovely ij the picture but treality was not like that. I was given another type as the studio unit wasn't available. I couldn't recommend this place until it get's an ugrade. Glad it was for just one night.
