What guests think

Reviews of MCM Motel Christchurch highlight consistently friendly, accommodating staff and very clean, modern rooms, with many guests praising comfortable beds, good value, and a convenient location within walking distance of the CBD and shops.

However, multiple reviews note traffic noise from the busy Madras and Bealey intersection, particularly at night or on weekends. Room sizes vary, from smaller spaces to larger apartments. Parking is available onsite, though several found the spaces tight. Overall, it works well as a no-fuss motel stop.

A very warm and friendly welcome, 2 bedroom apartment was immaculate; it is on the corner of Madras and Bealey (very busy) but even though we are light sleepers, we slept like logs. Highly recommend and would happily stay again. Off street parking was great.

Room carpet literally had an upward facing sharp pin that hadn’t been cleaned by whatever last cleaner, which pierced me sharply in my foot when walking barefoot in the room. Also, property has no lift for upstairs rooms & only accessible w/ stairs

Checking-in was a breeze, they had noted our licence plate as we were parking up. The room was clean and tidy. We didn't expect a service on Christmas day but were pleasantly suprised on our return to the room. The bed was a little bit on the softer side to my liking but not too much of an issue. Otherwise, would happily stay here again.

The air conditioner was noisy and there were a lot of strange noises at night, making it very difficult to fall asleep. I couldn't sleep all night. Everything else is OK, the staff service is very good, some maintenance management is needed

The rooms were clean, the staff were great. They were very accommodating to point out all facilities and offer any help if needed, and clear communication throughout for a late night check in and check out. The only downside is it being so close to the main road the noise can be a bit much, but is to be expected before booking.

Friendly staff very amiable and willing to help. Room was fresh and modern and all we needed for our stay. Well priced and good location. Our room was right on the Bealey Street intersection, and even with the windows fully closed, it still got very noisy over night due to traffic stop starting at the lights.
