Vicki

Disliked: Amenities
A tired and very basic motel. The rooms are large and the kitchenette and bathroom are good. The motel is on a very busy corner and the traffic noise comes through the front glass wall very easily. There is no privacy for the ground floor unless the curtains are closed. No restaurant and no close supermarket. However, when the stadium is completed the motel will be in an ideal location. The motel is a good ten minute walk into the centre. Reception was underwhelming.

Easy check in, great location close to areas of Christchurch. Room was clean, maybe a touch dated but for the price I thought it was great. Sliding door being the main entrance was a bit unique, but the curtains effectively blocked light and sound (for as much as you can in a city).
