This was a wonderful unit. Very spacious, good cooking facilities although I think a frypan would be helpful. It is close to the city centre and lots of eating places. Was really happy with this accommodation but the digital number pad to gain entry was rather tricky.
Overall the property was as promised and met our needs. The only issue was communication when we tried to resolve an issue with our television. The SKY television was for the first while cutting in and out and there was only one station. We tried to contact using the after hours button at the reception and was told they would call the room in a while. There was no call, but transmission resolved but not there being only one channel. We sent an email our first evening and never heard back. TV was not a major issue but made us wonder what would happen if there was one. Would they respond? Based on that we would not stay again.
Stayed two nights. Walking distance to the city centre. Restaurants and takeaway near by. Would recommend.

Neglected @ Amross Court
Stayed two nights and found this motel to be very strange in that there is no one around apart from a very helpful housekeeper, who works here daily, but not the whole day. If there was an emergency there is a phone number provided. Older style with large rooms, but only serviced if booked for 4 nights. We had to go to the laundry to get fresh towels, also there are notices around to take out your rubbish. Exit out of property is so overgrown with bushes you have to take your car back through the entrance. Gardens are not looked after. Would not stay here again.
Extremely good value for money on our five night stay. Small kitchen area gave us some options for eating and the proximity of the accommodation to shops and restaurants etc was good. Spacious accommodation with good quality amenities. Walking distance to city centre.
Brilliant for a mum with two tweens. Could not believe how close we were to the town centre - a gentle 12 minutes walk to the nearest tramway stop. Well equipped, clean and super comfortable accommodation.
The security code was a little frustrating when the door wouldn't open. I had given the motel pre warning of different guests arriving at different times, and motel didn't pass on the communication, even after phoning them from overseas.
Older hotel this could use upgrades. Bathroom was small and shower could use some upgrade. With those caveats the place was clean and quiet. Reasonable value for the cost.
We stayed here for a few nights as a base to explore Christchurch before heading home from our holiday. It was an ok place to stay although nothing was replenished during our stay, we ran out of coffee and tea (there was a telephone number you could contact to ask for more but we didn't bother) it is based outside of the city centre and there are a few cafe's and restaurants dotted around. It was quite noisy as our room was facing a busy main road. (It does eventually quieten down of a night.) The place was nice and cosy, shower was good and the room is well equipped for self catering with a microwave and a two ring hob to cook on. All in all a good place to stay for a few nights, nothing fancy but all the basics available including a comfy bed ( could have done with a couple more pillows) and a tv.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Large unit with separate bedroom & large, comfortable bed.
Overall, the property needs a makeover as it is looking tired.
Free parking & location attracted us hete. Property is older but clean. We had no issues checking in abd this is accomplished without any interaction with property staff. We were ok with that
We didn't see anyone at reception while staying at this motel or the managers. It was very difficult to check in. After considerable time we were able to contact someone who gave us a keypad code to enter our unit. It is an older motel, which is reasonably clean, it was not as expected. Other guest had the same problem checking in.
We had such a great stay! Vincent and Ann arranged for us to have an easy out-of-hours check-in which was super helpful and stress-free. Prompt responses via email to organise as well. The room was so clean, comfortable and very large! Great location and close to everything. Parking was also available. Definitely recommend! :)

Amross was great. Travelocity is a problem though.
