It's years since I've stayed in a motel and the word always makes me think of places I stayed in the States when I was travelling on a limited budget. But i had no intention of staying in any building higher than two storeys in Christchurch, so a motel it was. Clearly, New Zealand motels operate to MUCH higher standards.... More
