VERY SPACIOUS WITH GOOD COOKING FACILITIES. COMFY BEDS. THE HOSTS AND STAFF WERE EXCELLENT AND VERY SUPPORTIVE OF OUR SITUATION AND NEEDS. WE HAVE SPENT 30 YEARS IN MOTELS, AVERAGE 120 NIGHTS A YEAR AND THE COMMODORE WOULD BE RIGHT UP AT THE TOP.

This motor lodge is so good we were very sad to leave. As it was we stayed an extra night as we enjoyed it so much. We had a two bedroom fully self contained suite at a very reasonable rate. The staff were delightful and we had a very fond farewell from them on the morning we left. Very comfortable suite and close to town. Would definitely stay there again.

My partner drove me to Ashburton for my birthday and because we were tired and he wasn't feeling too well we decided to stay somewhere.
I'm glad I chose the Commodore. Chris the owner is a beautiful person and was so helpful and accommodating, so much so we decided to stay another night 💜
May you enjoy your time at the Commodore like we did 🥰

The lady was very helpful and friendly the room was very clean and we booked for one night and stayed for two and would go back for sure .the motel has the bonus of being pet friendly and the dog loved it not having to sleep in the car.

I was also towing a large trailer and she made it easy for me letting me take up a few parking's in front of the unit.

We arrived on dark and welcomed to our room by a very friendly owner, very clean and tidy, full sky. This is back off the main highway so was quiet and very comfy cosy bed, we had the best nights sleep here at the Commodore Motel, thank you
