The location was perfect, a short walk, approximately 10 minutes, to the city centre, and approximately 20-25 minutes from the international airport by the super shuttle bus. Towels were changed daily and bathroom floor was cleaned daily as well. We stayed at the end of April and the room was warmed enough by the heaters. I would recommend this motel to anyone who travel to Christchurch.
