Disliked: Amenities
A tired and very basic motel. The rooms are large and the kitchenette and bathroom are good. The motel is on a very busy corner and the traffic noise comes through the front glass wall very easily. There is no privacy for the ground floor unless the curtains are closed. No restaurant and no close supermarket. However, when the stadium is completed the motel will be in an ideal location. The motel is a good ten minute walk into the centre. Reception was underwhelming.

Easy check in, great location close to areas of Christchurch. Room was clean, maybe a touch dated but for the price I thought it was great. Sliding door being the main entrance was a bit unique, but the curtains effectively blocked light and sound (for as much as you can in a city).

The main negative was the noise from outside (on the stairs, upstairs, adjoining room and from the street). Positives are that the location was convenient with or without a car; the room was quite spacious and functional.

The bathroom was great in the fact there was a nice long beautiful top along the length of the room where there was great room for your toiletries. The water pressure was very low. Under the shower curtain water leaked over most of the room but it was very clean. Good little kitchenette. I didn't feel very safe in this area of town

Easy no-fuss, check-in and check out, thank you for letting us check-in so much earlier ahead of time. Cleaning and refilling necessities were given utmost attention; only sad thing is so much construction is happening around this place which blocks off some roads around this wonderful place currently so hope it gets better soon for you guys. Good job on keeping up.
