    We loved the convenience of this hotel's location as it was right across the road from a large shopping mall. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Additionally, the hotel had great facilities and ample parking.

    Couldn't fault this hotel as it provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

    The beds were comfortable and the towels were clean. the staff were really friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was quick and easy. the location was close to public transport and a few nice cafes.

    The room was quite small, and there was not enough space for our luggage. the bathroom was not very clean, and there were no toiletries provided.

    THe locatiopn was excellent

    The room size was cramped and compared to value for money I felt I had paid too much - Have stayed in cheaper hotels with larger rooms in very close by locations and if it was not due to lack of available rooms during my Christchurch stay I would not have stayed.

    This motel is definitely worth a stay. Located near a mall, it provides convenience for shopping. the room is modern, well-equipped with LED lights, flat screen TV and air conditioning. the room has a balcony that overlooks a wooded area. the staff is helpful and welcoming, offering useful information about the area. Plus, the motel provides free WiFi, with a great connection, making it easy to stay in touch.

    The kitchen space could have been better, even without wine glasses, with more space for a comfortable experience.

    I recently stayed at this hotel for a few days, and I must say, it was a truly luxurious experience. The room was well laid out, with a comfy couch that was perfect for unwinding after a long day. The decor was lovely, giving the room a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the hotel had a quiet outdoor space where I could relax and enjoy my meals. The hotel's location was also a major highlight, as it was just a minute's walk from the mall, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. Furthermore, the staff were incredibly helpful and obliging, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I had a truly fantastic experience here.

    I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.
