Guest Reviews
- Josie (8/5): - The place is clean and i like the pre call prior check in . Furniture a bit out dated but tidy. The only thing i dont like was a bit noisy due to the outside heat pump exhaust
- Louisa (6/5): - Very nice people running it. Very close to public transport. Floors need a deep clean feet turn black just walking around room. Very unsafe cook top ontop of a microwave at eye level. No oven even though pictured and says on website there is one.
- gary (10/5): - Might pay to have sign in the front lit up. Was a bit hard to find at night time.
- Sabree (10/5): - Staff were so lovely, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
- Loftus Jacobus (4/5): Not tidy. - The establishment is in a terrable condition outside as well as inside. The weeds and lawn are really overgrown. Very old outside furniture that does not match one another looks reaaly terrable. Our couch in our bedroom's arm rest had a buge tear in it. Our clothing cupboard's door was broken off, and was standing in the backyard. Our 2 plate stove top was very old and dirty, should be replaced. Our air conditioner did not turn on when the weather was hot outside. Weeds and long grass was everywhere outside, even in frint of all the units. When we opened our kitcgen door, (back door), there were weeds and dead shrubs, also our broken down clothhing cupboerd door, and an old car battery. A drain was leaking, and overflowing, and the dirty water made a kong pool in the backyard, it was green from age already. Not healthy at all
- Julie (10/5): Excellent value for money! - Excellent value for money. Comfy. Warm. Had all we needed for a night stopover before an early checkout to the airport. Service was above and beyond. Helpful and friendly - nothingness a bother.
- Gul (8/5): - Hosts are the most helpful ever. The room and the bathroom room was clean and well equipped. So is the kitchen area, A chair would have been nice so the two of could sit across the table while eating. We enjoyed our stay a lot.
- Ray (10/5): - Had some difficulty finding a hotel that allows pets but my well trained dog with his own bed was welcomed here, even though we were super late to check in. Thanks again. Was a great place stop to relax for the night after travelling all day.
- Nicola (10/5): - Wonderful hosts, thank you đ
- Graham (6/5): - The place needs a upgrade
- Carol (8/5): - Very comfortable bed, friendly and helpful owners
- Pan (8/5): - It suited our needs
- Whetu-Marama (10/5): - Best customer service I have ever came across! Such lovely people. Location of the motel was perfect for me and would definitely recommend it to others.
- Mervyn (10/5): - Arrived late and all was well.
- Amrit (2/5): - Didnât like anything itâs very poorly managed and maintained. Towels mixed matched seen better days. Pillows old well used by date. Aircon wasnât working properly, ceiling in the bathroom and toilet full of mildew. My husband booked it didnât see old reviews. The managers didnât care bad reviews of three months or more nothing changed. We asked them to make the beds came back after 4 hours room was as we left it. Itâs a waste of time writing reviews
- Felicity (8/5): - We checked in late and the owner made it a hassle free easy stay. Beds were comfy and had a well equipped kitchen only thing I would mention that the property is looking a little tired and dated. But this was reflected in a good price . Overall would recommend for a brief lay over or bed while you await a flight
- Mark (8/5): - Affordable property. Kitchenette well equipped (toaster, microwave, toaster-oven, etc) Air Con didn't work but was not a big deal as a fan was provided. Only one soap provided. Mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. I didn't find any sports or movies on the TV Channels. But this is a budget motel so overall I was happy, the hosts were very nice, and I would stay here again if the price remains competitive.
- Asami (8/5): - Family runs the motel, friendly and lovely. When having lack of soaps or toilet rolls, they respond quickly. Kitchen floor was needed to clean better a little.
- Don (8/5): - Excellent service and friendly staff. The property and facilities are bit old and is in need of some TLC. The room was clean and very spacious.
- Cristhofer (8/5): - Good
- Michelle (10/5): - This lodge suites to those who can appreciate anything, it looks old but Iâm grateful for it, it has everything we need , I love the service , the room and everything. I will definitely come back here . I highly recommended this lodge âĽď¸
- Paul (10/5): - There was a warehouse across the road .
- Stephen (6/5): - Place was ok bathroom needed a good cleaning mold on walls would easily wipe off
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Very disappointed on cleanliness. All the dishes in the cupboard were all dirty. And there was no dishwashing liquid to clean the dishes. Bins werenât emptied. Bathroom had lots of mould on the walls.
- WARREN (8/5): - It is an older property showing signs of wear but was clean and tidy.good location .
- Adrienne (10/5): - ?
- Adrienne (10/5): - ?
- Garth (2/5): No Vacancy!? - Made a late booking on the internet through Hotels.com and there was nothing said about not being able to, booking was made and paid for upfront via visa debit card and when we arrived there no one was at reception or answerd the door or picked up the phone calls. We had to make another booking last minute and stay somewhere else...
- Nathalie (8/5): - I liked the updated feel of the bedrooms, fresh feeling bedsheets and soft carpet. Everything was clean and well presented. Such a shame that the inside of the property was not reflected on the outside. It was unkept with long weeds and dried leaves everywhere which gave the property an abandoned feeling.
- Kelly (10/5): - Always a pleasure staying here. Convenient and ticks all the boxes of what we need.
- GARY (6/5): Ok place in need of lots of TLC - It is ok place to stay. Owner heped connect me to wifi standing in middle ofroom but as soon as i sat down at table connection was lost. Lots of dead spots so that was poor. In need of a refresh, spend some of the quiet time cleaning properly and some paintwork. Work work wonders. The contractor noise on our first night was keeping us awake from 2am to 4am.
- Kim (8/5): - Although it may not of looked the nicest my one night turned into 3 nights staff are very friendly and place does wat it needs to for myself and my dog i can see us returning alot or looking at full time here
- Shelley (6/5): - The single bed need to be replaced as my mum said it very uncomfortable and no table and chairs to eat at that was inconvenient with a child
- Sharon (8/5): Good stay - Our stay was short, it was a great bonus that we could bring our little dog with us, everything we needed was in the unit, There is nothing to complain about at such a cheap nightly rate, we will be back
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A basic motel, but adequate for short stays. Heat pump and electric blankets ensure coziness. No Sky TV is a negative.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - we liked the fact that one could cook in the motel a full range of pots cutlery etc . but the motel could do with a paint internally and the wall paper replaced or removed and walls painted but overall value for money. Nice and clean you could replace the back door lock with a dead lock system would not take much to spring open rear door with a bar. Cheers
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Itâs basic, people were very nice
- Verified traveler (6/5): - No info in the motel room. Sky not working. Out the back was like one big ashtray. Needs a sweep. Staff was friendly and helpful given my booking didn't show on their system.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Just what we wanted for a short stay with being out all day,ate out as well
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The owner warn me before that the Tv wasn't working properly and offer me to refund my night, I think it is fair. I appreciate pet friendly and the position of the motel but I had no hot water.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Really good. I would stay definitely stay again. I have to write 50 characters.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Comfort? - You get what you pay for, as far as comfort n price go. It costs extra to use the laundry. Two stove elements didn't work n the oven was filthy. One bed comfy the other u could feel the structure of the mattress The couch was for very short legs
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nothing really noticable. What needs to be done with those motels is a good sprouse up things are a bit tired , also there was long hair on carpet not sure weather it was human or dog hair could have been both, Pillows need updating and also the tv needs attention as for 3 nights we had interference and couldnt see the rugby or any tv, It would be great motels if things were all tidied up. Even the ashtrays outside had not been cleaned for awhile either. Hey guys I am not winching but just saying what it is, The Manager is a Top Bloke..
- Honey (6/5): - Toilet & shower at the same place and it's not convenient mostly when u have 6 ppl sharing.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The price was good the service very good , tended to be a bit noisy
- Janice (6/5): Christchurch- could do better - Easy to find but nobody there to check out. Not the fault of the lodge, but very noisy other guests disturbed others until well after 3am and there was no one to deal with it
- Paul (2/5): - The grounds were filthy with long weeds and cigarette butts around the sealed area. The room smelt of stale cigarette smoke, there were cobwebs all across the ceiling, the fridge was dirty - remnants of food were left inside. The room allocated to me has rear door that had been forcibly entered at some point with the door jamb clumsily nailed back into position - the door lock could was not catching properly and could be pushed open. We had paid in advance and while the price was cheap at $99 per night I had expected not to have Sky TV or other 'trimmings' but did not expect to experience such filth or sense of unease. After 20 minutes I elected to leave the site and booked into another Motel further along Riccarton Road. I did not request a refund as I felt uneasy about discussing this with the proprietor. We will never pay in advance again and I am very disappointed that we booked through your website - we had assumed that a reputable site such as Expedia guaranteed certain standards which I admit are my assumption - we shall not use this site again nor will we recommend it.
- Nick (4/5): - Basic motel, however very unhappy that the room stank of cigarette smoke. Everything, including the bedding. Yuk. Almost made me ill. Happy to leave.
- Verified traveler (10/5): good Value, great bed, friendly staff - Comfy beds, lovely staff, nice room, great price, nice and warm.
- evan (6/5): needs to be improved - staff friendly and most helpful facilities a bit old but comfortable needs to be upgraded to attract more customers great location on main access from south
- Megan (8/5): Would stay again - It was a nice room, the staff were friendly. The place was small and a bit tricky to get off the main road but once in good parking.
- Linda (8/5): - helpful people...small Motel....on busy road...but close to things
- Andrew (8/5): Decent Budget Accommodation - Good budget stay. Room was functional, wifi actually worked well and the reception was very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Wonderful staff who are cheery and kind. - The room smelt of smoke. The bed was a little hard and the room had no real way to cool it. The back door did not feel very safe with a flimsy yale lock. The staff however were wonderful and really well informed about the area. Plus they had discount codes for pizza! :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): Yay - We found this place and was able to make a booking on the day which was great as we had just flown in. Great nights sleep and great facilities
- Julie (10/5): Good family option - We found the staff friendly and were helpful when needed. The motel was quiet, tidy and had everything we needed.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Very disappointing motel. - Cleanliness was not up to standard, curtains falling down, heater not working, etc. etc.
- Verified traveler (6/5): OK hotel, bit worn out but friendly staff - The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was OK but the hotel is a bit worn and not super clean. Part of the hotel was also cordoned off probably due to earthquake damage. Fine for 1 night passing through Christchurch.
- David (2/5): Hostile, Dirty - The room was dirty, spiders and insects run rampant. There is no storage space, the hot plate was covered with the remains of previous cooking episodes. Overall, an experience not to be wished upon one's enemies.
- Mark (8/5): A bed for the night - This is an older motel and could use some updating. Things like wall paper peeling, a kind of cold fridge and air conditioning that kind of worked. If it had been a warmer evening the AC would not have provided any comfort. There was at east 1gb of free wifi. Still for the price it is about what you would expect in Christchurch.
- Verified traveler (8/5): very good value for money, comfortable bed - arrived late but instructions were clear, very warm room and quiet
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok, it was somewhere to sleep. - For the price it was great. We had 5 people to sleep for the night and it was good we all fitted and slept well
- Verified traveler (6/5): Well located and easy to - Easy to find and handy to city centre and other facilities.
- Wayne (6/5): BASIC HOTEL, NO FRILLS - Was made welcome by staff & they went the extra mile for me. Room has all the basics without the frilly bits higher priced accommodation would have. Great place for a short transit stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place - Very convenient, clean and tidy, nice place Good times in Christchurch
- Natalie Claire (8/5): Convenient and clean motel. - Have stayed in this complex previous. We choose here because it is very competitive in pricing, and convenient to the places we need to visit when here in Christchurch.
- N (6/5): Simple motel - Motel staff was very nice and always smiling. However the motel itself was okay to stay in. It didnt have sky tv in it or a swimming pool/gaming pool table or anything to relax while staying here. Its just a nice room with a tv broadcasting normal free channels. I would really install Sky Tv as the price I have paid in this motel it really should have had those extras by default anyway. If the Motel owners could also maybe have something built around here like a room for table tennis or pool table where one could go and unwind/relax that would really help. The main entrance to the motel is very very dangerous. I almost crashed into another car while going out as the sight distance to see another car coming is basically ZERO Metres!! I would also take out the wall infront of the motel and replace it with a see through fence ! The Tui Motel sign also needs to be better as its very hidden at night. Overall, if you looking for a place to stay and cant find anyother place, then this is okay to stay the night.
- H (8/5): - stayed three nights, clean pleasant and unexpectedly serviced unit
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not great - Was clean but our so called double bed was 2 singles pushed together with sheets that were to small for the bed. Heatpump was broken but for given a little heater that wasn't great. Were glad there were electric blankets but sadly they also didn't work
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Good bits: beds were comfortable. Tarriff was fairly cheap for the time of year. Bad bits: not very clean, rubbish left in cupboard in bedroom, ashtray full of butts. Shower / bathroom was a bit dirty. Kitchen was basic, and only one knife and no teaspoons.
- MARK (2/5): Worest stay ever for the price i paid and not the - A shame the earth quake didn't take this place.The dirtiest place I have ever stayed in.Backdoor had been kicked in,kitchen was dirty,shower didn't turn off,toliet was mouldy
- Jonathan (8/5): Central - Right near our car hire place. Very small older place but we had a very good experience considering the price. Bought supplies across road and cooked our own eggs on toast. Great.
- Robert (4/5): Close to the shops and that's all - Total lack of R&M in the rooms and grounds ,Shower hardly worked, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling Toilet not cleaned from last stay and area around it dirty Milk provided was on last use by date Check out day went to express myself about the stay at 8.00am and found office locked up left key in room and left
- John (8/5): Accommodating - Despite Expedia not having forwarded our booking and payment made 2 plus months prior the owner managed to squeeze us in anyway. And very graciously too.
- Chathuraka (10/5): Close to city - Very good. 200MB internet runs out very fast. Close to a bus stop but its a bit far away. Calm and quiet stay. Rooms were serviced daily
- Ally (4/5): room was clean but not much else - room was warm but heated with antiquated equipment.
