The motel was spacious and clean. We had a couple of issues during the first night of our stay, but the owners saw to them as soon as possible. Good location close to the city centre which made all local amenities accessible, especially by car. The owners were very welcoming and are doing their best to inject some life into what is an older style motel.

施設が古いことは問題ありませんが、シャワールームの排水溝はヘドロと髪の毛で悪臭を放ち、お湯が流れなかった。マグカップは2つだけ置いてあり、1つはコーヒーを飲んだまま洗われていない状態でした。少量でもいいので、冷蔵庫にミルクは置いてほしい。

Below average accommodation

Nice location, safe place to parkand leave car, exterior and grounds in good condition. Interior is very dated and worn. Kitchen very old, stove very old and dirty, refrigerator old and froze food instead of keeping cold. Couch was old and broken. Carpet old, dirty and frayed. Everything was very old and heavily used.

Convenient for what we wanted. Nice grounds. Google kept directing us to access from Colombo St which was not possible. Living & bedrooms were nicely done as have been refurbished but bathroom & kitchen are way past their use-by date as is the spouting. Attention to detail in cleaning could be vastly improved.

The owners where very rude to me * Made to feel unwelcome * Was yelled at by the lady for soiling my sheets and called disgusting, When i am women and got my period in the middle of the night * I was accused of being a working girl because I had a man visit me late at night * And was told I shouldn't be back g sex while on my period * Emailed asking for a late check-out and it was approved than to be yelled at by the man for holding things up however I did explain I had an email saying the late check-out was approved * So to say my stay was terrible is an understatement, However the room was clean and tidy

Lovely spacious 1 bedroom unit, with full kitchen and a bath was a bonus! Top marks for allowing a 12.00 midday checkout at no extra cost. Unfortunately the cleanliness was a let down as was the faulty body wash and empty conditioner dispensers in shower. Overall was a nice 2 day stay and would return.

Don’t be deceived by Motel exterior - Lovely Room

Rose was very helpful when we arrived as needed to drop luggage early before returning our car to the airport. The room was lovely. Very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Everything we needed for our stay and convenient for the city. Would recommend and we will be back next time in Christchurch.
