Detailed Reviews
An easy drive from the airport and good parking made this motel an excellent choice for our one night stay. The rooms are a good size with plenty of space for 2 suitcases and a very comfy bed. It’s an easy walk to the city and the great Riverside Market which we enjoy after eating airline food. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location! Clean, comfortable studio-style room. Nice to have windows at front & back of room. Well-maintained grounds & garden areas. Outdoor bistro table & 2 chairs allowed for enjoying roses and visiting with others. Excellent Indian restaurant/takeaway 2minute walk and several good cafe options.

Much nicer than photos show. Comfortable bed, great linen & fab pillows, lovely soft throw blankets. Two tvs, two bedrooms, well equipped kitchen. Awesome water pressure in the shower over the spa bath. Super helpful hosts. $150 a night which is good too. Very quiet, didn't hear any traffic or people from our upstairs unit.
Would definitely recommend & return.

Our family group stayed in 3 units to attend the Lincoln College Graduation Ceremony. Convenient location - 10 min walk to City Centre.
Quiet, clean well appointed units. Comfortable beds. Adequate electric heating . Helpful checkin staff.
We had a Studio Unit, 2 Bedroom unit & 1 bedroom unit.
The 1 bedroom unit had its bedroom upstairs, which whilst nothing really wrong with. was as convenient as the other 2 units.
Will stay here next time we visit Christchurch.

Very comfortable and warm room. It was also fairly quiet. Parking is easy, outside the door. Small kitchenette with plenty of space if you want to cook something simple. It’s a bit of a walk into the main part of town with the restaurants etc but it is doable. You don’t need to drive.

A great place to stay with a great location. Room was very quiet, was great with the double glazing and a huge bed. Girlfriend enjoyed the spa bath and the room was sparkling clean. Good secure parking and we enjoyed our stay and will be back

I had not seen the Train Station I am sorry
Sorry, can't help as we did not have breakfast here.
We were situated on the ground floor so cannot answer that question.
We arrived about 4.30pm on a Sunday and lots of places were closed
But we also did not require a supermarket so didn't notice to be honest!
But we had a really good meal and were entertained by a live band in a local bar
That was recommended by the guy on reception at the hotel.
"If you are concerned about carting your bags upstairs, simply request a downstairs room. Rooms 801 and 802 are the most spacious."Read full review
