- Guest (8/5): Better than expected - All of the above. Good location

- GrayMcGowan (10/5): Excellent Stay (again) - Manager Nick welcomed us back with total professionalism and friendliness, then showed us the room and its facilities. The room was warm, spotlessly clean (again) and met every one of our requirements. Nothing. Everything was just great !
- John (9/5): -
- Kristine (6/5): -
- Lina (9/5): Comfortable, happy, wonderful, contented and satisfied. Hope to see you next time. - Good location, accessible to shopping centers and transportation, comfortable room and bed, clean kitchen, lounge, and bathroom facilities, warm bedroom, safe, and with privacy. The bathroom sink was getting blocked easily all the time when using water. No fly screen on bathroom windows. No wardrobe to put or hang clothes in bedrooms. Electric heater for the lounge room not working. Alarm clock not working properly.
- Deanne (10/5): stay twice on arrival and departure ,very reasonable rates - We arrived very late and the communication between us and the Motel was excellent Quiet close to the airport
- Brent (7/5): Stayed two nights and overall happy, unit we where in could just do with some money spent on it - Location and price , under floor heating in bathroom , nice and warm Mattress felt very cheap and uncomfortable , as where the side chairs for relaxing , probably at the point where the need thrown in a skip

- Hannah J (9/5): -
- Barry (9/5): -
- GrayMcGowan (10/5): So much better - We arrived in the dark, but the room had lights and heater on already, so the room was warm and cosy when we entered. Also, there were welcome drinks there for us. These small touches made a huge and positive difference compared with our several previous stays.
The room was spotless, shower was hot, and nothing could be faulted. Nothing.
- Tina (10/5): - Friendly, helpful staff, great location. Handy parking.
- Gail (8/5): Very welcoming, clean, cosy stay. - A lovely welcome by the host, heater was on, room was cosy and two complimentary drinks were available. Much quieter street than being on Riccarton Road. As I was being picked up by car they stored my bags after check-out until my ride arrived. An easy 7 - 8 minute walk to Westfield Riccarton Mall. Great shower. As it was very warm inside, it would have been good to have had a blanket option other than the duvet

Shower door didn’t close properly

- Kate (7/5): - Super comfortable bed The room smelt abit yuck but it is in the process of getting remodelled.
- Nate (10/5): - Staff was so warm and welcoming big smile good attitude very pleasant. Then to have a complimentary can of coke and a beer was truly amazing any where else coke would have $5.00 and beer $10.00 plus. So refreshing to be valued rather than just take take take. Just a lil bag of chips would top it right off.😁 Absolutely nothing
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Pramod (3/5): - Room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was nice and had onsite free parking. Room needs updating, heater wasn't working, some of the electric sockets not working.

- Hooper (10/5): - The staff was awesome. Young Asian dude was friendly and helpful
- Ian (8/5): -
- Martin (8/5): - The unit has everything you need. In some ways better than a Hotel, with a microwave and fridge.
The bathroom was small but had a good shower. No storage space and one chair had only three legs.
- Sheryl (5/5): Ok but needs attention to furniture and fittings - Needs upgrade
- Michael (6/5): -
- Styfan (8/5): Great value - The apartment had two bedroom and the beds were very good.
- Carol (7/5): Would come again. - Good location, on bus route. Quiet, some lovely new improvements where nice. Friendly host. Thanks for the welcome drinks. Walking distance to Railway. Nice shampoo/cond & bodywash.
Nice linen, good heater. Need to blackout curtains car lights light up the room in the morning. Chip cup and plate. A couple of wine glasses and wine opener. Some cloths to wash dishes we had a tea towel only. A pot was no use to heat food in a beautiful new microwave. Maybe a breadboard and knife too.
- Fengxiang Ye (10/5): - 很方便交通便利停车方便
- Gail (10/5): - When in Christchurch subject to availability I always choose 123 because it is consistently good. There's been occasions where an online booking doesn't match the photos. It's also close to Christchurch Railway Station. Motelier always cheerful greeting guests. A nice gesture to leave a couple of complimentary cans of Coke. Nothing negative except to say my visit was only one night before travelling home.
- Tara (1/5): - Unfortunately got to the room and it had the worst smell like very musty smell that wouldn’t go away after having to have the door open for hours all night just to by past the smell there where also stain marks all over the bed like someone had spilled something prior very dirty. Tried to contact the owners and don’t think they really cared.
- Dennis (8/5): - Nice room. We flew very late at night and having 24hr check-in was so helpful. All good.
- Marietta (8/5): Relaxing, central thank yous - Overall cosy
- Peder (8/5): -
- Penelope (7/5): Great location and price - Location to everything, friendly owners New owners had just taken over so a few things needed doing in rooms but sure will be done next time we stay
- Lauren (10/5): - Great location and lovely staff. Good value for money
- Parker (7/5): - Location, close to mall and restaurants. Staff member was welcoming and the welcome drink left in the room was a nice touch. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Very quiet given location. Both chairs in the room were wobbly and didn't feel secure to sit on. Entrance door to the room was heavy to push and it would have been helpful to have a door hook or door stop to keep it open when moving bags in and out. Currently has scaffold around the complex which slightly impacted parking.
- GURDEEP (10/5): -
- Klaus (8/5): Perfect stay for the airport and walkable to the centre if you like walking. Next to Westfield. - Good value for money for a stay close to town and airport. It's a solid 40 minutes walk across the park to the center but we enjoyed that for our last night in NZ. The motel is good and not expensive. Short Uber drive to the airport the next morning.
- Misa (10/5): Comfortable staying - Perfect and comfortable stay. The staff is friendly.
Facilities are very clean.
- Euan (8/5): - Great staff, comfortable bed and clean. Everything was quite worn and scuffed. Could definitely do with a refresh.
- KJELL (10/5): -
- Averlea (4/5): Disappointing - Location Very messy outside. Buildings covered in dirt. Long weeds in outdoor areas. Outdoor tables and chairs were filthy and rusty.
The “pullout” couch in the living room was soooooo uncomfortable to sit on. Like sitting on wood. That was all there was to sit on to watch tv.
On check out day, at 9.20am we were packing the car and the cleaning man just came in to the unit and put his stuff down. He wouldn’t leave the unit, ( English not good). We had to leave the unit 40mins early.
- Derek (8/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): Reasonably satisfied with the motel. - Located close to Westfield Riccarton which was very handy, lots of food outlets close by. Scaffolding around building affected access. Lack of luggage storage.
- Chye (8/5): Satisfactory - A small table to do some paperwork, write a report. A medium and large size bowls to warm up soup and cook up noodles in the microwave.
- Marileen (10/5): -
- WILLIAM (8/5): -
- Newton (9/5): - Handiness to everything
- Yingshan (10/5): -
- Tim (9/5): -
- 0428 (8/5): - 乾淨整潔 無
- Justin (9/5): Excellent for transit travellers. - There is easy parking on-site. The motel is located near a mall. Very friendly staff. Some furnishings have dust accumulated on them.
- Sarah (5/5): - The gardens were badly overgrown. The curtains were thin and the outside light outside our room shined through. Also there was no privacy to the room so had to keep curtains shut all day, needs windows tinted or a net curtain.
- Francie (4/5): - Holes in walls, holes in towels, dust everywhere, beds half made, towel rail ready to fall of, Crack in shower rose,no available information book in motel. Floor sticky, finger prints on tv, all windows and doors. Curtains hanging of hooks. Gardens over grown and disgusting. Office dirty, floor covered in dead leaves from pot plant. What's happened, been here before, and nothing like this. Would never go again.😒
