We booked the 2 bedroom suite and enjoyed our stay tremendously. Jeff was extremely helpful and friendly and provided us with information about great restaurants(those within walking distance as well as those accessible to those with a car) and routes to arthurs' pass and the airports to avoid the peak hour jams. The rooms were very well equipped, clean, and... More

Well located close to the now-fenced-off Red Zone in the CBD, this property is very easy to get to and from. Rooms are spacious and much more nicely furnished than you'd expect from a "motel." The staff is *extremely* friendly and helpful and answered all our questions about where to go, plus offered great recommendations for dinner. Perfect for short... More

Jeff welcomed us and gave us lots of local advice, including an invaluable map showing the only businesses left open in Christchurch. The room was very nice and large, with a (noisy) spa bath. It was clean and comfortable with reclining chairs, allowing us to watch DVDs from their library in comfort. It has a good location close to what's... More

We had a free upgrade to an apartment room due to apparent noise from nearby construction. Clean and very spacious accomodation. Management was very friendly and welcoming - lots of energy! Maps and local eating guides provided on check in outlining all the current streets closed off. Motel located centrally and as a result right on the border of the... More

This is supposed to be the nearest motel to the city centre, which is true but unfortunately, there isn't much left of the city centre. This also means that there isn't much to see, do and eat around the motel. That said, we booked a standard studio and the room is huge - even comes with king-sized bed and a... More

Hi there trueillusion02 and thanks for your balanced review. You did book a Standard Studio but you actually got a free upgrade to a Deluxe Studio!! Glad you loved the room size, the sofa and the King size bed! The size of the standard studios is smaller and you do not get a sofa to lounge on - joys of... More

This is a very well run motel with well equiped apartments situated as close to the 'red zone' as it is possible to stay. Jeff, the owner, is very personable and exceptionally helpful - he can offer advice on where to eat, and what's open. The accommodation offers everything you will need for a comforable stay and is spotlessly clean.... More
