Very basic at best. Not even enough cutlery for the two of us for breakfast. Hairs in the bathroom and on the cleaning cloth but its cheap and ok if you just want a place to sleep.

Very comfortable motel, especially for the price--thought it was great value. Staff were lovely and it's in easy walking distance from Canterbury University (where I was attending a conference).
Facilities were a little old and tired, but honestly for the price everything was fantastic and great value for money.

This is an older style motel with spacious rooms. We have stayed here a couple of times and find it perfect for our family. It is within walking distance of the university, very close to Riccarton Mall and an easy drive into the CBD. But what makes this motel excellent is the friendly, helpful owner.
