Very good value for money, close to Westfield mall. beds were comfy and room was very clean. The shower had very good pressure and having Sky Sport in the room was fantastic as got to watch the All Blacks play.

The man who checked us in was a bit rude. He tried to tell me we didn't have a booking there despite me showing him my confirmation and advising if it wasn't under my surname it would be under my first and he just kept repeating "the booking is always under your last name". I even asked please check under my first name multiple times and just kept saying.."booking is always under your surname" turns out it was under my first name. Despite the rudeness of this man...it may have been a bad day. I would return to stay again.

Great stay. We chose the hotel because of proximity to Christchurch. We found the accommodation to be to a better standard than you would expect from a motel. We stayed 11 days, probably more than the standard visit. We appreciated the small kitchen facilities and the laundry facilities. Greg, the manager of the hotel, was an excellent guy. Always a pleasure to see him and banter with him - really great. His wife also gave us good advice relating to travel around.

Location, near to airport. Close to a main road but very quiet. Walking distance to major shopping centre and eateries. Immaculately clean room and helpful/friendly reception. Dedicated accessible parking at door of room. Accessible unit a little tight for purpose especially accessing the bathroom as bathroom door located close to the front door. Not much storage for two suitcases plus wheelchair. Nice little private outdoor seating area. Excellent for a short stay

The owner although an aussie was super friendly and helpful, the room and bathroom really clean and after a week of sleeping in terrible beds it was bliss sleeping in their large comfortable bed. Very close to hagley Park and monster chicken......what more could you want

Nah can't think of anything

owner/manager was the best, we had our flight to Auckland cancelled due to Cyclone G. and he let us have a late check out the next day because our new flight wasn’t leaving till late in evening. He gave us pointers of where to eat in area. Price was also very fair because it was obvious that other hotels in area were gouging people who had flight cancelled.

Road in front had lots of traffic so it was rather noisy.

Highlight for us was how amazing the owner was. He was very helpful, kind and made us feel welcomed ensuring our arrival (which was late) was smooth and the room was easy to find. Room was lovely and clean, just a bit small for a family of four of two adults and two young adults. Location was perfect and close to the event we were attending and shopping for the kids.

Location is very well positioned for us and we stay here every year, and staff are very friendly.

The electric hobs need fixing- both hobs only work in full- no temperature control. The cupboard in the bedroom doesn’t close as it is out of line , and the front door was also out of line and difficult to close. The TV in the bedroom isn’t linked to the TV in the lounge - so you can’t have the Sky channels in the bedroom.

Unit was very clean and tidy, very handy to Westfield Mall, 10 minute walk away. Our unit was at the rear, well away from any traffic noise from a busy Riccarton Ave, with car parking just outside the unit.

While bed was comfy, found pillows to be not so comfy, minor issue.

Check in was easy and my host was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. The hot chocolate was delicious and the TV was huge and a good range of channels.

The wifi signal was really weak in my room. It would also have been helpful to have a couple of hooks on the wall in the bathroom to hang a robe and toilet bag on. The shower curtain was a bit dirty. None of this made a big impact on the enjoyability of my stay overall, but they seem like little things that could be easily addressed.

The Motor Lodge was comfortable and the room was clean and quiet. We could walk into town or catch the bus , we walked to Harley park and also to Riccarton mall which was in easy walking distance for average health people. It was also a short distance to the airport for our early flight.

Nothing.
