The room was far better than we expected and had great facilities, able to cook and have lots of space to spread out.
There was food and dirt down the sides of the chairs, which was a bit grotty and the pillows where way to soft.

Great central location, clean room and modern decor.
Seating in lounge area was a little small, so we turned the couch around to suit better.

I stayed at this motel as it was very close to the railway station that I was departing from very early in the morning. I would stay here again if I was in Christchurch. It is a bus ride away from the bus depot.

Close to shops and bus depot so you could leave your car and catch the bus into Christchurch Central.
Having to go to management to ask them to get another guest to turn their music down. It was handled immediately and without any problem.
