Nice kitchen

The unit was well presented, spacious, clean and nice decor. I mentioned no hot water in the kitchen and this was attended to immediately. My laundry was washed and dried for me at a reasonable price. Within distance of most areas. Enjoyed my three night stay there.

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 staff at check in was nice, nothing special, the room was clean. Very disappointed in the condition of the motel. Dates, had a horrible odour throughout the rooms and bathroom. Tiny amount of toilet paper and generally poor.
