Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Very well appointed motel room in small complex. Spotlessly clean, modern and contained everything we needed for our two night stay. Comfortable bed and great shower. Room was remarkably quiet, given complex is on a busy road. Short walk to Westfield shopping centre and numerous restaurants and cafes. Helpful manager allowed us to check in a little earlier, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Excellent gem of a Property located in the heart of Riccarton. The mall is minutes away by foot, if you have a car you will be in the city centre in under 10minutes, Jellie Park, New Brighton all under 25 minutes.
The property had ample onsite parking and I was able to park outside or near my room most days. The room was clean, comfortable bed and the kitchenette with stove top, microwave and fridge was perfect for preparing breakfast and other snacks.
We were here as part of a wider sports group and they were very respectful at night and there wasn’t any noise.
The heat pump in the rooms made it so cozy and such good water pressure in the shower.
The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were proactive in reaching out to us before our stay to help with our special requests.
I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again or recommending to anyone looking for a safe clean comfortable property.

We couldn't thank Quality Suites and an elderly guest enough. On the morning of check out, our car couldn't start! The staff (sorry I didn't get his name, but it might be Chen) went to different motels along the same street to borrow the jump-start cables for our car. Luckily for us, a guest had a vintage 56 yrs old car with a portable jump-start power bank! We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare. The motel is located on a busy street of motels, near to Westfield and restaurants within walking distance. While traffic seems busy and loud on the street, but we could not hear the traffic noise in the room. In fact, i feel safe that we are staying on a main street. Although the walls are thin and I could hear guests coming in/out but it's no big deal. Room is comfortable and clean with look-like new kitchen. Maybe furniture can consider a lighter shade to bring some cosiness to the room. It is perfect place to stay before our morning flight. THANK YOU CHEN!

I stayed on the top floor and it was very comfortable but i am used to having a larger room, so i found this to be very small, not much room to move around. Small window so not a great deal of light.
Bed was comfortable and a great deck area for working on. Wifi worked very well, and while it was a small bathroom it had good water pressure
Kitchenette for heating food up etc
Location is great with a short walk to the Riccarton mall

A great motel to stay in. Rooms were spotlessly clean and tidy, and well appointed. It is close to Riccarton mall- a 3 minute walk- so handy for food and shopping. The hosts are very welcoming- I was always greeted with a smile and it was not a problem to take our bags there before check in time. Extra towels etc were also not a problem. We had a two bed room this time (a double and a single for the three of us) and while not a big room, it was all that we needed.

We bookedthe Amore through Booking.com and advised that we would be arriving late and were informed that a note giving details on how to access our room would be left on the office door. duly arrived after midnight. No note on office door. No details anywhere. Unable to contact anyone. We ended up hailing a taxi and were taken to another hotel. I rang the Amore the following morning and advised what had happened. The owner was very, very apologetic. She had been away for a couple of days and a few admin' errors had happened in her absence. She offered us free accommodation, and compensation for our second taxi fare. We did not take her up on the accommodation offer, as we were comfortable where we were, and it was too disruptive to move. Credit to the owner for making these offers. Moral of the story dear readers- doublecheck your reservations especially if arriving late(doesn't just apply to the Amore Motor Lodge- everywhere)

This is our second year staying with Amore, and our fourth stay with them as we transit Christchurch to Queenstown. Each year, the note has been on the door letting us know which room we're in and that it's ready for us (who loves that midnight flight into Christchurch??).
Each time, we've stayed in different rooms - both studio and apartment - and in every case, the rooms have been exceptionally clean, warm and inviting. Michelle and her husband should be very proud of the product they offer!
While Riccarton Road can be a little busy in peak times, the bonus is that you're so close to everything. Just a walk across the road has you at Westfield shopping centre (mall), and a short walk further up the road has you at bars, restaurants and coffee shops. If you're heading out of town, Amore is perfectly located for when/if you high-tail it to out of Christchurch (maybe to Queenstown...) - with easy access to the highway.
Amore is warm, welcoming, great value, conveniently located, and just a great place to stay. My partner and I (and probably our friends, if their response to this year's visit is anything to go by) will be booking with Amore Motor Lodge for the same week next year! We'd better get in early! Thanks, guys!

As most reviewer has mentioned, the motel is very clean and the rooms look so brand new as though it just open for business. The shopping mall is just nearby and there are a lot of eateries around the motel. If you are lazy to walk around, there is a fish and chips, a convenient store that's just opposite the motel. For those who drives, just to note that Riccarton road is a very busy road during peak hours, so do plan your itinerary and give yourself enough buffer time as you might get caught in the heavy traffic.

Hi There, yes we can arrange late check in for you. Plz put a note when you make booking on our website. And remember, you will always find best rate on our own website. Thank you!
Good Morning,
We are 8-12 minutes by taxi or shuttle from the International airport. There are Motels that are closer than us but they don't have the restaurants, shops, parks and movie theatres around them. Let me know if you would like to book direct with us.
Kind regards,
Pauline
