BEWARE. RUN AWAY
DANGER!!! So noisy!!! It s on riccarton road. U WONT SLEEP all night long. - There 5 or 6 motels even better quality on the same road! Be smart and do not spend any cent here! - I paid for 3 days but I needed to arrive on 2nd day due to changes in my itinerary... Of course they didn't refund the 1st night... Even if they had time to sell it to someone else. - They were knocking on my door punctually, pushing me out... They told me there only 1 maid for all the rooms and she has to do all rooms ( 4 hours needed between check in and check out). - Internet problems. - I left my luggage when they pushed me out on the garage of the office room, I stayed out all morning until 4pm. I picked up my staff and I needed to pee, she said that I have to go to McDonald's... So rude!

Warm & Cosy
Excellent location, 5 min walk to mall, 24 hour McDonalds across the road. Hotel facilities provided everything we needed, I would have expected the rating to be 4 star, not 2.5 as shown in Hotel.com. Room was apartment was clean, warm and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel.

Hard to check in but good once I did
I didn't realize (wasn't notified) that I needed to check in at the Athena motel next door so the beginning of my experience was rather stressful. Having said this, I was very happy with the room. The bed was comfy, the aircon was great and most importantly it was clean. For the price it was well worth it. Not flash but definitely comfortable. The location was perfect for me but it's on a busy road so might not be everyone's choice.

Really clean, well provisioned accommodation in a
Staff were fantastic and room and inclusions were excellent. Only issue was the lack of a living/dining area but the good kitchen and TV in each bedroom still made it quite liveable. Overall really good value for money and highly recommended.
