Christchurch hotellit St Albans

Plussat: My husband and I loved staying at this property. Ms Li (the manager) was so kind and thoughtful. She made us feel that we were staying friends. Our room was well outfitted and so meticulous. We would definitely stay there again. Ms Li even helped us with our laundry.

Plussat: I always like my stay at the Amross Court Motor Lodge. Lee and the team there are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Plussat: We stayed here at the start and end of our trip to NZ. Checking in and out was a breeze and both rooms were extremely tidy/clean. Lee was very pleasant and accommodating.

Plussat: Due to the Covid 19 lockdown and our flight home being cancelled we arrived two days earlier than planned with no idea how long we would be staying. It actually turned out to be 15 nights. Lee couldn't have been more helpful providing us with advice and doing little things such as printing our new flight tickets, giving us masks and gloves and being flexible with the room servicing, fitting it in when we went out for our daily exercise. We had a one bedroom apartment which gave us a bit more room than a studio for the long stay and it had everything we needed and was kept spotlessly clean by Lee and Jin themselves as their employees had been furloughed. We also had access to the laundry room. The motel is also in a good location easily walkable into the city and close to Hagley Park whilst providing free car parking. We would love to return one day when Christchurch is back open for business.

Plussat: Everything was perfect!! Exceptionally clean, great communication with Lee who went out of her way to assist with every detail...would fully recommend.

Plussat: Receptionist very friendly. Room was large and came with a stocked kitchen. (dishes, ect)

Miinukset: There is no elevator and we were on 2nd floor.

Plussat: Location was great. Staff wonderful. Friendly and helpful. The size of the room was wonderful. beds comfortable. Clean and tidy and everything you need was provided.

Miinukset: All was great!

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff it's very clean an tidy with old school charm

Miinukset: I stay here often it just a beautiful hotel and so close to the CBD

Plussat: SWEET

Miinukset: Not a thing. It is a big old house converted into “rooms”. Semi apartments- efficiencies. Good for me. Warm and cozy. Loved it

Miinukset: They absurdly and pathetically applied their cancellation window policy, despite the rapidly changing Coronavirus situation. They should be ashamed of themselves. And even places with cancellation policies only steal one night's payment. They stole both. Very heartless and very short sighted.

Plussat: Lovely Place, lots of little touches. The morning breakfast was wonderful . Would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Quick to make email contact. Very flexible over Covid 19. Very accommodating and quick to respond to requests when we stayed. Thank you.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Clean. New. Warm and helpful welcome. Excellent value.

Plussat: The location is handy for the city and northern suburbs

Miinukset: Despite a recent-ish update, this place looked shabby & there was incorrect information in the guest guide. Net curtains did not fit the windows making privacy an issue; kitchen cupboard door was loose and askew; kitchen floor was sticky and squelchy underfoot; dirty cutlery; mould on window frames; stains on the pillowcases and comforter. In the guest guide it said to pre-order the morning paper by 7pm but when we tried to, before 7pm, we were told that the cut off was 5pm. The guest guide also promoted their eco-conscious efforts with regards to hot water, which appeared to be solar generated. On day one we had cold showers and when we informed management of this we were told that the people in the neighbouring unit, with whom we shared a hot water tank, must have used all of the hot water. Well management, we also had cold showers the following morning as well, despite having no neighbours on our second night. Not good enough.

Plussat: The room was clean, the large bed very comfortable and the motel location was ideal for exploring Christchurch.

Miinukset: Road works on neighbouring street disturbed sleep

Plussat: Location was great with ammenities close by

Plussat: Warm and good location

Miinukset: Had a hard bed

Plussat: We were give a free upgrade which was very lovely and appreciated. We were meet by a lovely lady doing the gardens and given our key and the when owner came back she gave us a call. She was also very lovely. However first motel were I have not been given or there hasn’t been in room. So make sure you take your own milk.

Miinukset: We were in rm 3 on road and it sounded like all the traffic was driving through the room. The room was not very clean at all and very concerning considering covid 19. Cupboard doors, bathroom door filthy. Glass shower door had not been clean and I could wipe soap scum off. Kitchen ledges and shelves, skirting and heater covered in dust and not couple day old dust. When I tried to wipe it off, was greasy and sticky had not been cleaned for a while. Tv screen was disgusting could see multiple hand prints all over it. Kettle was dirty not just unpolished but had bits food or something on it that you could pick off. Shower mouldy and bathroom fan was in need of a clean. Was cheap and had an upgrade but that does not excuse not being clean. Considering level 2 rules on cleaning for motels, especially high touch zones I be concerned as quite clearly these has not been cleaned. Then midnight there was people running from the unit behind us it and out of reception and the owners house. So after finally getting to sleep from road noise we had to contend with people drinking and carrying on which of course is not normally the motel owners fault however they were quite clearly with owners as they were going in our out of reception and the house attached to back of reception. So was awesome the owner seen for to have their drunken friends running back and forth past our bedroom window and their personal house. Defiantly wouldn’t recommend.

Plussat: Great place to stay

Plussat: Excellent owner and staff. Wonderful room, would stay again.

Miinukset: Nothing, couldn't fault it

Plussat: Lovely modern, spacious unit. Clean and comfortable. Great value for money.

Plussat: Friendly staff, very helpful.

Miinukset: The man at the bar was rude ...the bed was uncomfortable and the spa bath didn't work without making a hell of a noise which is not what u want to hear while trying to relax

Plussat: The staff were helpful and courteous to me. Our room had a stained glass window and sweet shades. The room was spacious.

Plussat: Location, price and staff

Miinukset: I thought the bathroom is it bit outdated from the rest of the room which let it down also there little touches that could improve in the room

Plussat: Reception staff and room service were all super friendly., professional and helpful

Miinukset: The cleaners unfortunately left some plastic gloves on one of the windowsills

Plussat: Good location Large rooms

Miinukset: The room needs a reno, carpets are threadbare and stained, drapes are torn.

Plussat: Friendly staff good location

Miinukset: Parking not assigned to room so ended away from room a bit

Plussat: Good location, comfy room, lots of natural light, and good shower pressure, will def stay again!

Plussat: The staff

Miinukset: The single ply toilet paper.

Plussat: self contained apartment - no walking distance facilities eg supermarket. lovely and clean. however dont book if you have an issue with stairs or travelling with elderly persons. two sets of internal stairs in apartment - hard going on the 70yr+ family members.

Miinukset: forewarning about stairs would have been beneficial.

Plussat: Location easy parking

Miinukset: Mattress quite hard. Room smaller than I expected

Plussat: although not right in heart of city thought it a very good location as only few minutes drive to centre and also buses very convenient to city. some people could probably walk to city centre. nice cafe nearby to motel. would stay here again.

Miinukset: probably should have asked for ground floor for ease of transporting suitcases but staff did assist on arrival.

Plussat: Nice and clean and Emma was a fantastic hostess

Miinukset: Bed was a little firm for me, given these are fantastic apartments with good decor, a luxurious bed would be the icing on the cake.
