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.
Great service, so easy to register and information given regarding restaurants and the likes was very helpful. Very comfortable bed and room. Room service was great with the teas and coffees replaced, bed made and even the heater turned on before I arrived. Little things but really good

The two bedroom unit we stayed in was clean, warm and had full kitchen facilities which meant we could prepare our own meals - so good for a family. We often find motel beds uncomfortable but these we were awesome and we all slept well. The staff were very helpful and our stay was all we hoped it would be.

It was a very clean unit upon arrival. Also the beds were comfortable with just enough bedding on each bed. I did think the crockery and cutlery was a little sparse if there were extra people coming to visit. It could of been advisable to tell the person booking the unit that they were upstairs as well as downstairs. Overall the stay was pretty good.

Self Service Motel ??!! Hmmm, great expectations given the high rating but I think management has changed since previous reviews . The main motel website, amross.nz under the “Accommodation” tab advises “Serviced Daily”. However this is no longer the case and the motel has moved to a self-service mode ?!. The sign in the shower says to put towels in the bathtub / shower if you want fresh towels but it won’t happen. The compendium is silent on servicing but a new prominent sign on the table says you are welcome to help yourself to fresh towels from the laundry. This only applies to bath/face/hand towels and if you want a fresh tea-towel or dishcloth then you have to get lucky and find one of the cleaners when they arrive. Note that management can only be contacted by in-room phone, whatsapp, sms, messenger, email or the intercom at the office door next to the sign which advises the office open hours (?) but there is no face-to-face greeting or meeting or access to the office. (so no chance of catching or passing on any communicable diseases!)
If you have a multiple day stay you will need to empty the trash in the main recycle or waste bins behind the garage and it is unclear where you get replacement bin liners unless the cleaners are around. And 'beverage facilities' is an electric kettle and tea/coffee. Minimal cooking utensils, 2 pots and one microwave/ pyrex dish.
Apart from the above there are a lot of positives; reasonably priced giving the aged decor, comfortable beds, spacious lounge, close to town, good wifi, Sky TV, mostly quiet as offset from Bealey Avenue. Dvd player if you happen to have brought your collection (?)

We arrived here after a very long set of four flights. The owner made us feel at home immediately with suggestions of things to do without driving. He also personally show us our room. While certain not "new", it was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Location was easily walkable to the gardens and downtown.

We were upgraded to a one bedroom apartment with a queen size bed and a single bed in the living room. The owners were very pleasant .Though initially apprehensive because we had to lug our luggage up to the second level, the room more than made up for it. It was spacious with a fully functional kitchenette with stoves, microwave and toaster and kettle as well as a medium size fridge. The sitting room had a two seater sofa that faced a TV with 50 channels on Sky TV. Heating was adequate in both living and bedroom. Water pressure was strong in the bathroom and tissues as well as moisturisers were provided. Wifi was strong . Walking out of the motel and about 50 m to the left , there were three restaurants and Burger King. We had dinner at the mama me Thai restaurant. We miss the chilli in New Zealand so we thoroughly enjoyed the green beef curry. Would definitely recommend this motel- clean , well thought out and absolutely comfortable.

Almost got caught out with the big concert in Hagley Park but managed to get a studio unit in the Amross Court. Manager, Lee was extremely helpful in allowing us an early check in and this was by far the best motel we stayed in during our South Island trip. Our unit was spotlessly clean and equipped to a very high standard including aircon in every unit.

Very homely and clean. Everything we needed in our room to make our stay very enjoyable. Within walking distance to restaurants/cafes and CBD. Very small shower box, but that wouldn't stop me from staying there again. Bedside lamps would be a bonus for people who want to read before going to sleep. Found the lights in the room far too bright. But not a deal breaker.

The motel is conveniently located, perhaps 8 minutes from the centre of Christchurch by car. Our unit was clean, with bedroom (king-size bed, very comfortable) and living room/kitchenette (with a single bed). The facilities were excellent. When we phoned reception to say that the smoke alarm was beeping because battery was running out, the gentleman was there within a minute to replace it, and did so cheerfully and efficiently. Any downside? Only a tiny one. The buildings are not too modern and some pieces of furniture were a little dowdy, but that didn't trouble us.

We've been here for 5 nights - home tomorrow and can't recommend it enough. Don't be put off by the slightly eccentric look of the place. The hosts are wonderful - nothing is too much trouble. The unit we stayed in was a 2 bedroom and was very roomy, extremely clean and very well appointed. Must have been refurbished recently as everything is newish. Very well located. Hagley Park just a few minutes walk away and the central city is pretty close - can walk in. Will be our 'go to' place when we came back to Christchurch. Great place to stay!
