Abbey Motor Lodge

Huge spacious room and bathroom with sofa and TV. Like the hot lights in the bathroom. Stay for 3 nights. Nice, 20min walk from CBD.

No pan for cooking, just small pots.

A central property, with well set up rooms

Nothing

We loved that this place was only a quick 20min walk to the One Stadium.

Unfortunately it was very dated! Our window had a big Crack that was filled with silicon, the kids windows didn't close properly. There was no heat pump only 2 old Warehouse heaters which we didn't feel safe to leave on while away so our room was extremely cold. It needs a good once over with a detail clean and install better heating.

It was very central to everything

It was good but there were a few details that could have been better

The Motel was close to city, affordable and okay

The room has a strong musty odour when I walk in, and the carpet would benefit from a deep clean. The wall is dirty throughout the lounge and bedroom. The decor is outdated and tired-looking. I would hope the owner does a better job of cleaning and finds some time to scrub all the walls down, room by room.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the incredibly friendly receptionist, who made us feel right at home. To our surprise, he generously offered us a complimentary room upgrade without us even asking, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely start to our stay. The room itself was spacious, spotless, and exceptionally well presented. It was clear that great care had been taken to ensure everything was comfortable and inviting. Thank you to the team at Abbey Motor Lodge for making our visit to Christchurch so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning, and without a doubt, this will be our first choice of accommodation whenever we're back in the city.
