Contrary to the info on Expedia this motel does have a reception desk and there’s no need to make arrangements to pick up a key unless arriving late.

1. 위치 만족스럽습니다. 헤글리파크가 바로 앞에 있어 산책하기 좋았고, 상점들과도 멀지 않습니다. 계획에는 없었지만 버스정류장도 바로 앞에 있어 크라이스트처치 시내까지 걸어갔다가 버스를 타고 돌아올 수 있었습니다. 또한 숙소는 도로변에 위치하였지만 살짝 돌아 들어가야해서 차소리나 기타 소음의 문제는 없었습니다. 2. 체크인 체크인이 친절하지는 않았습니다. 체크인 전에 문의사항이 있어 메세지를 보냈지만 답을 받지는 못했습니다. 3. 내부 시설 새 공간은 아니지만 전반적으로 만족스럽습니다. 2인이 머물기에 적당했습니다. 침대가 두개이나 한개는 거실 현관 옆에 있었고, 쇼파로 사용했습니다. 주방 사용이 가능해서 예약했었고, 잘 사용하였습니다. 11월에 방문하였는데 일교차가 컸기 때문에 침실에 있는 침대에서 전기장판이 사용가능해서 좋았습니다. 전기 난로도 구비되어 있습니다.

While immaculately clean it's is a very tired . On the last day the hovering cleaners in the background while 3 units where departing, well before 10 was really uncomfortable. Not the fault of the cleaners who obviously did a good job. Stacked toilet roll dispenser, the type you'd find in a public toilet - nasty Spacious.
