123 Motel

We were arriving quite late at night but the friendly staff were there to ensure our late check in was a breeze! The location of the motel was super convenient especially to Westfield Riccarton, rooms were very tidy and serviced during our stay and had all that we needed to use. Overall a great stay and would happily return :)

The only thing that would've made this stay a 10/10 is if the curtains were blackout as the sunlight came streaming through the curtains lighting up the room at about 6:30am which wasn't too ideal while on holiday. Also net curtains would've been a good touch to add some privacy to the room during the day

The hotel is well located about a 15 min drive from the airport and the town centre. Good Wi-Fi and parking. Good shower and the room was clean and had a microwave, fridge and tea and coffee facilities. There were lots of eateries nearby as well as Westfield shopping centre - all within walking distance.Staff were very helpful and allowed us to leave a suitcase with them while we toured NZ. This was about 2 weeks before we checked in and very welcomed as it saved us lugging if around!

The only negative point was the large glass patio door and window opened onto the walkway. Net curtains would have given some privacy without having to pull the curtains closed. A minor quibble given all the positives above!

The room was modern and clean, felt a bit upmarket with the art work and skylights. Spacious room and I liked the coat rack so you don't have to put all your jackets etc on the chairs. Great location can easily walk to Westfields Riccarton mall and Tower junction. I also walked easily into Hagley Park and Botanical gardens. Close to bus stops for public transport. Staff were very friendly. Good off-street parking

The pillows were too thick for my liking. Could hear some street noise, but not too bad didn't keep me up at all.

The location was good for what we were in the Christchurch for. Easy to access. The room was warm and while it was cold during a couple of nights, we were very cosy and slept well. The bed covering was really comfortable. it was positioned right behind a large mall, and plenty of choice of eating places and shopping available.

The curtain covering the large glass area, could be improved with a black out lining. It would darken the room and cut out the outside lights/street lighting. However, not a big issue for us.

Very clean place, close to the mall and a 15-minute walk to and from the train station. Has all the amenities you would need in a room: even a iron and an ironing board, hairdryer, water heater, slow cooker, fridge, utensils and microwave. Water pressure in the shower was awesome. There is also a heater but was not able to use it since I booked during summer season. They also accommodated my late check-in which was convenient.

No air-conditioning so you would have to leave your door and windows open if you need a little air. Not much of a TV watcher although the cable signal needed a little adjusting.

We loved the close proximity to Riccarton Mall. Staff were excellent and friendly. Nothing was a problem. The unit had all we needed for a short stay. The shower was fantastic.

All in all the unit was good and I would stay again. I have listed a couple of things that could be sorted. I would of liked a bathroom cabinet to put my toilet bag on instead of the floor. The skirting boards needed a wipe down. The chairs need to be upgraded as vinyl was coming off.

Room was spacious and staff were friendly and helpful. Room was fully kitted out, large, clean kitchen area. Large bathroom with nice shower.

There was a mug in the freezer (missed by housekeeping, makes you wonder what else was missed) Bed cushion and throw were stained (these soft furnishings are for decoration so we didn't expect them to be clean-clean but stained doesn't look nice) Bed was broken on one side so it caved in. (still sleep-able so we didnt mention it)

We were so grateful our plane arrived late evening hours. Our room was warm comfortable and we were sent texts and emails to give us instructions on our room and the owners availability. Very helpful and it made a big difference after a long day. Bed very comfortable as was the room. Shower was really good. Didn’t need to use kitchen facilities. Location close to town, Riccarton shopping and eating places.

Everything was too my liking.

Everything was clean and tidy. it was also very spacious which I really enjoyed. I also liked how close it was to the mall which made my stay a little safer and easier.

It took about 15 to 20 minutes of me calling out and ringing the bell for someone to finally come to check me in and out. however when they did show they were lovely. They did also forge to tell me where the washer was.

Location is very handy for walking to mall/cafes/dining. Bed and pillows nice and comfy. Full MySky TV was a great feature. Wall heater great in the winter as room got cosy with that. Double glazing to keep noise and cold out (as best you can on a busy road). The "fairies" did my few dishes each day while I was out!

Nothing major but those little finer details that make a difference e.g., no glasses so everything you drink has to be out of a cup, only shampoo and no conditioner (not so good for ladies with long hair), no wardrobe or coat hangers (was a coat stand tho). I had an end room away from other rooms so was quite private but not sure ones with ranchsliders along main deck would be. The feature picture on the main wall above bed wasn't in the centre (strange thing but quite obviously wrong!)
