Merivale Court Motel — Attraction in Christchurch

I had a wonderful one night stay at this establishment. The check-in was quick although the owner doesn't speak much English. Small parking lot in the back that can fit 3 cars and a few street spots in the front. The room also included a couch and a 2-person dining table. Everything was clean and cozy. There was a full kitchen with a stovetop, oven, water boiler, mini fridge with ice compartment, cooking utensils, cutlery, bowls, cutting board, bowls/plates, and salt and pepper. The kitchen and bathroom have doors so it limits the kitchen smells into the bedroom. TV has several channels. Shower had a great pressure and plenty hot water, hair dryer included. 2 air heaters available in room. There was provided bathroom toiletries. I was given 2 wifi code vouchers for 1GB each, speed was okay but not great. I was on the top floor; walls are thin facing the outside but overall noise was quiet. You’ll maybe hear other guests moving in and out of building. I would have been happy and comfortable with a long stay here;...

Extremely disappointed. We booked for 2bedroom and 2 nights but left after the first night. The second room was locked when we arrived and I had to phone and ask why, when opened it was extremely cold and dark. The unit was so grubby, especially the kitchen, it hasn't been cleaned in a long time, it wasn't vacuumed, wasn't cleaned properly (if cleaned at all) my family and I started getting bitten from the carpet and couch, pull out couch has rust on the mattress from the steel in Unit one. I asked for the vacuum cleaner, and it was very old and needs to be replaced, wasn't even picking up the crumbs and bottom head is broken. It was a really unpleasant night, please don't stay here unless it is...
