Luana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient position to attend a family gathering. Easy parking and spacious. Easy to book and reasonable rates for the room. Though a little dated, it was warm, comfortable and all you need for a short stay. Clean and good ventilation, everything you need. Friendly welcome and quiet setting. Great value and especially helpful if you have a car (there can be trouble finding car park if staying in city centre).
Sue, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed for 2 weeks while visiting Christchurch. John and staff were very friendly. Motel was very clean and comfortable. Great place to stay!

Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was very clean and the room was a great size. Absolutely loved the shower
Diane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed for 5 nights. Slept super well as despite being by a main road, the windows kept most of the noise out. Staff were super helpful and away from the main road, leafy suburbia in Spring was a beautiful walk.
Catherine, 4-night trip

The room was clean and comfortable.
Karan, 1-night trip

Clean and comfortable. The rooms had everything we needed.
LORAINE, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Almost dead beds, unhygienic bath cubicle, noisy toilet, age old furnishings. Apart from the location and a very helpful manager, nothing good about this place. Ample parking.
Rahul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy and well maintained little motel in a non-descript part of town. Innkeeper John was very welcoming. Nice pub across the street with good food.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything about this stay was fantastic. Possibly one of the best stays I've had in Christchurch. Beautiful clean, quiet and warm room with lots of room amenities, even air freshener spray in the bathroom! Nice easy parking, clean and tidy property. Easy check in and out. Easy to get around the area. Would book to stay again anytime

Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location and a quick walk to the local Cranford Ale House for a good priced meal. Everything was clean and tidy but an old style motel. Wifi good and reliable.
Sherilyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, very clean and comfortable. It could even be better if the room was not smelling of cigarette smoking. I will be happy to stay there and recommend it highly.
