Disliked: Cleanliness
Room looked clean and tidy when entering the room but after looking around it did need a bit of a deep clean. Skirting boards and bathroom fan especially. Room had everything we needed but was nosy at times with road noise and planes. Staff were amazing and helpful. This is a great location to stay with being in the middle of everything. I would stay again

Close to Riccarton Westfield

The unit was lovely, tidy, clean and nice decor. A few small areas in entryway that could do with a paint touch up. Outside is superficially tidy but closer to shows a few areas around the bottom of the units and the stairs could do with more than a lick of paint. These details are not negative comments just would enhance the area. Staff very helpful when required. A carving or cooking knife would be a good addition to the cutlery. Kitchenette very tidy and well presented. Very comfortable stay. Very handy to Westfield shops, restaurants, buses, movies and sightseeing.

Great location, great service.

As always, staying at Motel 123 is a pleasant experience. We arrived after midnight and our room was ready for us as arranged with reception. Our room was spacious and well equipped. We will stay again.
