Convenient location for the duration of stay, very dated accommodation, mismatched taps, worn vanity unit. Non smoking unit that reeked of stale cigarettes. Cobwebs in top corners of the ceiling complete with dead moths. Generally a disappointing experience, yes it was a cheap last minute booking. Alas you do get what you pay for.

Laurie

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very much in need of a tidy-up. My room was up some extremely steep internal stairs. Disturbing to note that my room key opened not only my room, but the door at the bottom of the stairs. Fine, except that there were two rooms at the top of the stairs, and I'm presuming that the key for the other room (14) also opened the bottom door! In which case my room (12) was probably able to be opened by the room 14 key! The room price ($103) was cheap and basically so was the motel, at least that part of it I was exposed to. The website states it was built in the 1940's and the whole ambience of the place reflected that.

Nice kitchen

The unit was well presented, spacious, clean and nice decor. I mentioned no hot water in the kitchen and this was attended to immediately. My laundry was washed and dried for me at a reasonable price. Within distance of most areas. Enjoyed my three night stay there.

Unit was fine, however, a splash of paint would be better especially on doors. Shampoo system in shower was a bit high for short folk. Other than above it was good. Afterthought. Book said free pickup for casino, apparently thats not available now. Might pay to remove it.

You get what you pay for

This motel is used for transient workers and social housing. It is very quiet however. When we arrived the person on the desk wasnt terribly interested and spoke next to no English. The room had a TV but no access to free to air channels. They badly need to add freeview. Netflix didnt work because they hadnt paid the bill. This was resolved. Unit was clean and serviceable. Beds were comfy and the shower was awesome. Good points more than balanced out the bad. Its reasonably close to centre of christchurch

krystle

Tried to check in 2.30pm and room wasnt ready. Room looked different to photos but I must say the one I got seemed more spacious and cozy. I had horrendous squeeky stairs to walk up and down which made me feel bad for the room that was next to me. And also in my room there were spots that if you walk it sounded like i was banging on the wall ๐Ÿ˜… Room service could come at better times as everyday was very different, and I had to keep asking for toilet paper. The last day I was there I got some without asking so I was very thankful for that. I was there 6 nights.
