    “Spacious but uncomfortable stay due to noise and layout issues”

    The room I was assigned didn’t feel like a typical motel room. While other guests seemed to use a standard key, I had to enter two separate passcodes through two doors just to get into my room, which was a bit confusing. The room itself was quite spacious, but there were some inconvenient details. There was no desk, no hand soap provided, and no power outlet near the mirror, which makes it really inconvenient if you need to use something like a curling iron. The heated towel rack was also not working. WiFi was not very reliable either — even scrolling social media felt laggy at times. The biggest issue, though, was the door hidden behind the wardrobe (see photo). I couldn’t open it from my side, but it clearly connects to another space. Early in the morning (around 7am), I could hear dishes and noises from the other side, and at times it sounded like someone was trying to open the door or that it was shaking. It might have been wind, but it was honestly quite unsettling and made it hard to sleep comfortably. Overall, while the room looked decent at first glance, the noise and layout issues really affected the experience.

    “Well appointed, comfortable and spacious”

    We had our kids 14yo and 10yo with us. The 2 bedroom motel was perfect for us with space to spread out and chill. Especially great after spending the last few nights cramped up in single hotel rooms. The location was amazing - just 10 mins walk to Cathedral Sq where the tram starts. Free parking makes getting around easy. Full kitchenware provided. The only downsides were the very slow wifi during peak hours, and the low pressure of the shower, but it wasn’t major issues for us and we loved our stay there!

    “Christchurch stay over ”

    We had a very comfortable stay here. It has been well renovated and is well equipped with the kitchenette including toaster, microwave and plenty of utensils. The beds were very comfortable and the staff helpful in solving problems we had with the booking. The bonus of parking and within walking distance to the centre - about a 10-15 min walk, made it a great place to stay for us.

    “Two night stay ”

    The motel is in an excellent location for visiting the centre of Christchurch. A leisurely 20 minute stroll takes you into the centre of town. A well equipped unit, with Sky Tv , kitchen and a very good heating system (which we should not have needed to use in the summer, but we were very glad it was there). The staff were friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this motel to friends and other travellers.
