Great motel close to shops and restaurants. The room was clean and had many useful amenities such as a fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster and hob. Parking was also included and was close to the room which was convenient. Staff behind the reception were very friendly and helpful. I can't fault this motel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Christchurch. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
