4/10 Fair

The rooms smelled like they've been smoked in. Also we left behind our son's favourite teddy and when I rang the next day to ask if it had been found I was told it had been thrown away already. He was pretty upset.

室内の設備に一部古さは残るが、清潔で広い室内は快適 シャワーの湯量が少ない以外は不満は有りません。
Tadashi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff made me and wife upgrade to a larger room (and pay extra) because we had a baby with us and the sound proofing in the regular rooms was not sufficient; however we could still hear the rooms next to us as clear as day; so it was pretty much a bogus excuse to get more money out of us. The shower had almost no pressure and was pretty unsatisfying; almost down to a trickle, and the double bed was two single beds that were a little uneven. Otherwise it was okay for a motel.

Cheap price so motel as expected. Clean enough and beds were semi comfortable. Shower pressure was terrible

Lovely staff, comfy bed and great shower, however the walls are very thin and we got woken up by the next rooms tv, you can also hear the road very clearly and we had to get reception to change our bedsheets as they appeared to have not been changed from the guests before us- marked and the pi

Pleasent stay. Staff helpful. Allowed us to keep the iron in our room for duration of stay . The Shower could of been a lot more powerful and bath slippery to stand in when showering were the only downside. Room spacious and place clean

I felt itchy all night and into the morning it was average prices should have been a bit cheaper but it was a place to rest our head for the night

6/10 Good

It was a very noisy and the room felt like an earthquake every time a truck went past if you like earthquakes this is the best place to stay 👍
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not a flash motel but good beds. Plenty if parking and close to town.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Location was good. But property is run down and tacky. Beds were all smaller than listed. Floro lights that tick away after being turned off. Only a half role of toilet paper in room, tho guy at office was happy to give more when requested. Only way to clean up any sort of mess on floor was with a broken brush. Won't be staying here again!

4/10 Fair

Room had mould around windows, was shown another unit which was the same. Had to pay $50 to upgrade to a more modern room .

2/10 Poor

Turned up before 11 to find everything locked up and not even a note or key left. Ended up making the 4 hour trip home instead of resting.
Jon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the cost of the room. Handy to Christchurch city.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

the bathroom was disgusting. the Toilet did not work the shower was a dribble. there were shelves hanging off the wall. there is mould around the bathroom. tiles hanging down in the bedroom. the condition of the bathroom is unacceptable.

Parking easy to get to main centre we have stayed here before and think it has gone back
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Just a bit misleading. Photos are of the new building not the old. Grimy walls in bathrooms. Linen and pillows are very very old and dont fill you with a sense of cleanliness. Assume the other building is better inside. Entire building shook when trucks went past
