A friend and myself stayed here for just one night as we had bought 2 motorbikes in Christchurch and needed overnight accommodation prior to riding our new machines back the next day. We had a two bedroom family unit and it was faultless. Superbly comfortable beds, very good heating on a chilly winter night, large rooms and great facilities. We... More

I was booked to stay here for two nights. After the first night I took everything with me as I have always done in every motel I stay in for work as I need items in my suitcases for work. When I went to checkout the rude lady behind the counter had a go at me that they thought I... More

We stayed for three nights in a two-bedroom unit in January 2013. The motel is well located with restaurants across the road and just down the road. There is a service station just a couple of minutes' walk from the hotel - handy to buy coffee, snacks etc. Merivale Mall (shopping centre) is about ten minutes' walk down the road.... More

Very clean - impeccably clean! Jenny at rececption was friendly and very helpful. I arrived late at night when reception was closed but Jenny was happy to make arrangements to leave the key somewhere for me. Great location, close to Merivale Mall, and city and Hagley Park which I frequented! I think the traffic could be noisy if you were... More

Stayed here overnight in a 2 bedroom apartment and was pleasantly surprised. It was in a street surrounded by a lot of other motels and wasn't too sure what to expect. The apartment and everything in it was spotlessly clean. The kitchenette and bathroom are basic, but the rooms are warm and beds comfortable. We had a very late check-... More

Very adequate. Clean tidy unit. Pretty basic inside. Free use of a DVD player which was good. We were offered a free newspaper each morning but one morning it didn't eventuate. Quite loud traffic noise as it is on a main road. Kitchenette was basic and very compact.

This is a great motel which is very close to the central city. Only 5 minutes from the CBD. The hosts are very very friendly and helpful. The rooms are above average for their price range. While a little older in styling (say ten years or so) the linen was beautiful and all was super clean. The showers were hot... More
