Detailed Reviews
The motel was comfortable and lovely to stay in. The staff were friendly and the motel is in an excellent location; good walking distance into town. There is a small kitchenette in the rooms which only serves for basic cooking (i.e. no oven), but this is expected! Lovely amenities, with tea, coffee and milk also provided. Had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend and stay again.

The motel offers very clean, good sized, and well appointed rooms at an appropriate price. The jovial person at the front desk made sure that we were familiar with Geraldine and all it had to offer. It is an acceptable walk form the motel to the shops and restaurants in the main part of town. It proved to be a very nice stop on our way from Akaroa to Mt. Cook. I would recommend the Assure Motor Lodge to a friend.

Two nights stay in beautifully furnished immaculate motel unit.
To add in the personal touch, owners daughter brought me some sweet peas from her own garden. The entrance to the riverside walk into town is just opposite the motel

We booked into this motel because it was an "Asure" and the motel chain had a promotion going during our 4 week South Island tour. We paid $154.00 for a one night stay. It was all a bit average on the inside so not that memorable. The kitchen cooking utensils were motel average poor quality. Not sure it deserves a 4 star rating.
The main problem though was..... on first entry into the bathroom all I could smell was "urine". I mean it was strong! I was so disappointed as the bathroom looked clean and tidy but where was the pong coming from?. Then I spotted the base of the toilet where it connects to the lino/tile (cant remember which it was). All around the base was a dirty brown colouring (eeeew) and no sealant. This is where the hideous smell is coming from.... years and years of scum going down into this crack. I was too embarassed to tell the owners, we left as soon as possible the next morning. I dont remember the room number but it was the one at the end of the right hand building up against the bank at the back of the property. As an architectural designer I suggest pulling out the toilet and flooring and either thoroughly cleaning the area (scraping off scum), or replacing it all. Then.....make sure you put sealant like silicone, all around the bottom of the toilet, ensuring that your cleaners dont damage it when they clean.
Also, I used the laundry and my black clothes came out covered in white powder. Giant Motel commercial laundry machines and driers are just too basic and harsh for new clothing.

Greetings TFFC, I am really sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. I which you had come to reception so that we could have addressed the problem straight away or moved you to another unit. We pride ourselves on our staff and our cleaning standards so had no idea you were unhappy and never have bad reviews so this was a situation we needed to move on straight away. Many thanks for pointing out options for us to rectify the situation, duly noted.

This motel was comfortable and clean, and the staff were helpful but looked as though very little money has been spent keeping the rooms upgraded and smart. Everything looked tired. I would not stay again for this reason.
Geraldine is a potential overnight stopover when traveling long distances in the South Island.
Maybe Covid is the excuse.

A very well appointed motel with cooking facilities, utensils, heating/aircon, sky TV channels, excellent shower/water pressure and comfortable bed. The proprietor Craig is a very welcoming host. Geraldine is an interesting town with a good info centre and eateries, the Village Inn for example. No problems here, recommended.

Everything was first class - check-in, cleanliness and layout. The only (very slight) downside was road noise being next to the main road. However this was easily offset with the close proximity to the centre of town.
