The parking around the back units is very tight and not enough spaces overnight, we had to park on the road 2 out of our 3 nights. During the day, the cleaning crew were loud and unprofessional. Laying down in their cars right outside our unit, on their phones watching loud reels sitting right outside out unit, communicating by yelling at eachother - it was not peaceful during the times we were there during the day.

Comfortable stay near Hagley Park

We had a generous sized room and comfortable bed. Our room had all the amenities, although the motel is a little old fashioned. Receptionist is friendly and helpful. Good eating spots nearby. Love the location so close to Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens. Motel is just outside the city center.

Great value, did the job.

Quiet, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Quirky vibe. Bathroom needed a do-up: toilet lid wouldn't stay up as the cistern was in the way. Shower had good pressure but needed a better clean. Nice clean linen. Great having a wee kitchen of our own. Good parking.
