Great motel

Clean, quiet, comfortable. Friendly staff. Excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities. The only (tiny) issue is that it's very hard to turn right out onto Riccarton Rd (ie towards the city). We had to turn left then find a nearby street to turn around.

This motel is very well run. Friendly, helpful and accommodating owners. They upgraded my booking as a kind gesture. It is spotlessly clean and quiet. Close to buses, shopping, restaurants and everything you need. I would definitely recommend this motel to others.

Person who greeting us was lovely she had upgraded our room at no extra cost as we had 1 child with us and gave us a 1 bedroom appartment instead of a studio room. She showed us to your room and told us off the ammenties of the room. Very lovely and friendly would stay here again.
