What a great motel, I was staying in Christchurch for a friends wedding, and wanted to get in a bit of shopping and some exercise. My room was one of the smaller rooms, but it had everything you could possibly want and was clean and quiet. The motel is just across the road from Westfield Shopping Mall and within walking... More

The mirror in the bathroom was so low you had to crouch to see yourself and there was no rubbish bin in the... More
