I stayed here twice, a week apart, in two different rooms. Both rooms were very different. I was in a room in the front of the building my first night. The room had cosmetic upgrades such as bed coverings and furniture, but still showed it's age with the painted cinder block walls, and slightly out-dated bathroom. The showerhead in the... More

nothing outstanding about this place, we thought a place down the road was better value for money however, it was a low budget acceptable motel unit

Stayed at this motel for 2 nights to break up 2 long coach journeys. The room was very clean and comfortable - the beds were awesome. The bathroom was average, could perhaps use an upgrade but that doesn't bother me too much. The TV had a good selection of channels and the internet was good value and very fast. It... More

Staff are nice but no such thing as a quiet room here. Apart from normal (loud!) traffic noise from being right on one of the main drags, it is also "turbo-charger central" on a Saturday night! Also the rooms don't live up to the photos. I really wanted a special experience for my daughter and I on our last 2... More

We booked one night just to get us over after the long flight. This motel has definitely seen better days. The furniture was tired looking so was the bathroom. The sink was chipped in many places. The covers on the bed looked old, but the good thing was we can to call free for a bus to take us to... More

I booked this hotel/motel without reading all the reviews and when I did I wanted to cancel but couldn't, but as it was only for 1 short night before an early morning flight I crossed my fingers. How wrong were those reviews, the staff we saw were friendly and helpful supplying us with a map and directions. My case was... More

Located on one of the 4 "Avenues" surrounding central Christchurch. Great location for the public bus from the airport (number 10) drops you off at the end of Bealey Ave. Great location for central Christchurch - approx 10mins walk. Rooms - clean, stocked with tea/coffee/sugar/towels/microwave/fridge. Dairy approx 2 blocks away for groceries. Staff - friendly and helpful.

Heckled by the hookers, glue sniffers and drug dealers who were staying in the same place, I found a used condom under the badly made bed, the old curtains, the cracked walls, the tiny room in 80s mixed decor, it was utterly awful. Do Not Stay.
