Great accommodation near the Botanic Gardens. Lots of transport options and being pretty flat, it's a very walkable to the CBD. The rooms were nice and clean, but can be hot/warm as it didn't have AC. A ceiling fan or pedestal fan would have been good.
Allows late checkin as it's not staffed after 8pm.

Amazing value for the 5 person unit. Fantastic location at the edge of Hagley Park. Walking distance to the City Centre and Riccarton. However, I marked down service as the office shuts at 8pm. Since I was arriving at 10pm, a point which I had communicated to them, they made no effort to make me aware of the after hours check in process. It was only a chance phone call I made to them earlier on check in day about a different subject, which led to them telling me the after hours check in process.
Many latches on the windows were falling apart or broken.
However, the outstanding value, cleanliness and location made the stay fantastic.
Wow the Ashford Motor Lodge is a fantastic place to stay. There’s plenty of places to park your car. Lovely relaxing swimming pool. Room and bathroom large and extremely clean and a nice kitchenette to make breakfast and snacks. The staff are so helpful and friendly you could not ask for more on a holiday
Great property for families.
The suite was clean and comfortable with easy access to the shops and restaurants.
Highly recommend and will book again when visiting Christchurch.
We could not fault this property!
Our unit was immaculately clean, beautifully presented and very quiet. The location is great - handy to the city, many shopping and dining options and Hagley Park a wonderful Christchurch gem.
The studio was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for. There is ample parking and it’s relatively easy to get into the CBD either by driving or taking public transport. The staff were very friendly and I think the offer of milk is a nice touch, it saves you going to the nearby petrol station which I found to be the only alternative.
Great location - easy walk to the city centre and Merivale . Very comfortable . Would have been helpful to have a mirror in the upstairs bedroom . But otherwise would recommend
Nice modernised appartments, mezzanine two bed apartments are really cool, clean but only just but not a deal breaker . Staff very efficient so overall really good highly recommend
This is the best accomodation out of 3 in Christchurch we stayed this trip. It’s one class above others in terms of space and layout, also quality. All four of us felt like we could space out and relax. We even got a late check out of 12 o’clock due to a late flight that day which was much appreciated. Location wise it’s very handy for hagley park and cbd. We will stay again.
Check in a breeze and the room was immaculate and they had even turned the heater on for us! Highly recommend. So close to town and hagley park and our dog was welcomed.
Something seems to have changed. Typically a great place to stay. The toilet seat in unit 27 (an accessible unit), does not fit the cistern. Used to be a great place to stay, but
