City Central Motel Apartments — Hotel in Christchurch

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and we really enjoyed it. It is an easy 10-15 min walk to the city and there is a supermarket within a short drive. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The room is large, clean and has a generous supply of tea, coffee etc. There is a snack basket in the room if you wish to purchase any snacks.

The problem was solved but we shouldn't have had to experience this awkwardness of trying to protect our private details. After all we had paid the accommodation earlier and that should have been the end of it. No more...

We stayed here 3 nights (Fri-Sun), for the price point we would recommend staying here. It was a good place to base ourselves to explore Christchurch. The rooms were tidy and well kept and had everything we needed. The location is easy to get to/from - there wasn't anything nearby so we drove or scootered everywhere. We did walk to the city one day and it was actually closer than we thought (about 10-15mins) The check-in process was easy and all staff we encountered were friendly. The only negative is the noise - it was a bit rowdy Fri night with people coming/going and we could hear the next door baby crying all through the night, plus the traffic was noisy on...
