Clean and well equiped rooms, friendly owners, quiet location. Loved how they had extra fleece blankets, as most hotels only have very thin blankets. Very convenient location with amazing restaurants across the street. Will book again!

Nice and easy Motel.

This Motel had most of the comforts of home. Just a touch on the smaller size, but still ok. Parking ok, location ok too, but a bit far he you want to walk to the Riccarton mall. I have stayed here before and Happy to stay again if required.
