The Grange Motel

Great location and very comfortable. Helpful and friendly staff.

We stayed in an apartment at the back of the lodge off a lovely courtyard. Great space, very quiet and very easy to access without having to go through hotel lifts etc. Could walk to anywhere in Christchurch City without trouble. And wow - coffee and a plunger were provided - a very rare find! Quality teas provided. The little kitchenette was great to have rather than a jug on a bench and the huge bathroom was beautiful. Would be very comfortable for a longer stay than our one night. Friendly and very helpful staff - thank you.

The room is large and the bed comfortable. Large french doors offer views to park land. Close to town and parks.

Excellent location, very central - walking distance to shops and restaurants and city centre. The upstairs rooms are great with a balcony. We slept with the balcony door open. You couldn't do this if you were in the ground floor rooms. There is no aircon. This wasn't an issue as it wasn't super hot, but the rooms get full afternoon sun. Rooms also super tidy and clean.

Upon checkout, the person at the desk tried to insist I pay an additional 3% fee as I did not have an EFTPOS (NZ debit card) nor did I have enough cash to cover the bill and could only therefore use a credit card. I insisted that this was not mentioned anywhere in my booking confirmation, and after much back and forth, they agreed not to apply the fee. Bathroom is tiny, but does the job.
