Close proximity to the CBD and some nice cafés (especially Affogato, a short walk away). Convenient off street and on-street parking.
My only concern was with the bed that probably should have been replaced a while ago. Otherwise, good, clean, basic accommodations.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Our hosts were wonderful. They were helpful and very hospitable. The location of the motel is ideal with a walk into the city and a cafe a few meters away. Our room was clean and warm and we had electric blankets for the cold winter night. Next time in Christchurch we will be back there for our accommodation.
