Location the big plus

Pros: Proximity to ( walkable) services (tabletennis hall)
Cons: Cleanliness Wi-fi service
Location: Food and functional facilities close at hand Table tennis facility is adjacent and that was why we were there.....
Staff were helpful, language barriers appeared to exsist Room was functional Wi-fi TOTALLY FRUSTRATING Noisier than expected,both road and inter-unit Cleanliness was definitely a lower level than what we were happy with-esp. shower Proximity to services and especially the table tennis facility was the saving factor

Cool hotel staff

Arrived early and early check in wasn't a problem. Asked to use the hotel laundry and they told us to go sightseeing and did our laundry for us. Internet was free and fast enough to watch Netflix.

Best hotel I have ever stayed in at Christchurch

I made a last minute booking as soon as I arrived in CHC, so I expected a small cramped up motel, bad service etc etc. but instead I recommend this to be the best motel I have ever stayed at! The staff was so friendly! The room was massive! Even had a seperate kitchen! It's in reach of everything but not far away either.

Pros: Beds comfortable and location to City and Riccarton.
Cons: Change taps in bathroom basin and sink and get new venetian blind for bathroom/toilet.
Location: Easy access to city and Riccarton Westfield shops. Went to a few restaurants in area but found the Christchurch Casino a better venue to dine.
Older style accommodation (ie. separate taps in bathroom basin and sink). Also our unit was the closest to busy Blenheim Road so traffic noise all night long. Beds comfortable.

Good decent place

Pros: convenient.
Cons: water pressure in the shower.
Not the most up to date accomodation you can stay at, but it was convenient and the staff was very accomodating with my situation, arriving past midnight. The water pressure in the shower was terrible though.

Pros: Clean room and friendly staff and the chocolate was a nice touch.
Cons: Bathroom could do with a re-vamo. Venetian blinds damaged but it was really good value
Comfortable accommodation and friendly staff. The room was very clean. Some free Wi-Fi would be great. All up a good experience.
