Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The front desk was very accommodating in letting me leave my bags at the desk since I arrived off the plane before I could check in, and then I explored Christchurch on foot. The room was spacious and well laid out with a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, and dishes. The only thing is that the motel is next to a busy street so it was a bit noisy, but the street calmed down during the night.

We were booked to stay 2 nights but left after one. We weren't the only ones to leave early. - the dining table chairs were wobbly and not safe to sit on - the futon in the lounge which was to be used for a bed for our son was beyond the end of it's life and highly uncomfortable to sit on let alone sleep - the toilet was dirty - the unit was dirty and walls filthy - no bedding was provided for the futon and staff were unhappy to provide when requested -Skylights were positioned directly above the bed in the lounge without curtains. This was unsuitable, particularly for children, given the early sunrise in summer. - the curtain rails were below the window frame in the bedroom which allowed for light to come in - the fridge did not keep anything cold - the cleaner tried to enter the unit before we left. We hadn't told them we were checking out at that stage. We only booked there as there was nothing else available for 5 people. We will not be back.

Room looked clean and tidy when entering the room but after looking around it did need a bit of a deep clean. Skirting boards and bathroom fan especially. Room had everything we needed but was nosy at times with road noise and planes. Staff were amazing and helpful. This is a great location to stay with being in the middle of everything. I would stay again
