Reviews for Ashburton Motor Lodge

Review 1：Train line is across the back of the property and there is a little traffic noise up until 8pm.

Review 2：The one bedroom units are very comfortable, roomy, and have a nice spa. The motel feels quite modern.

Review 3：Amazingly comfortable beds n pillows. Very clean. At first thought the unit would be noisy..(cos of road traffic). but nope all good. Smiled when saw the ear plugs in the bedside table draw.. You thought of it all. Well done team... Kathryn Sherriff

Review 4：The Motel is located on a main road & close to a railway, but we were able to close out the noise. The room was clean & very comfortable. The The laundry facility was good, although there was a problem with the clothes dryers that kept opening!! We were able to walk down the road to 'Robbies Tavern' where we enjoyed a pub meal with the 'locals'. No New Years Eve celebrations, so an early night..

Review 5：Host was very helpful and friendly. Spa bath was the best after a day of travelling. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Review 6：The location of the Lodge was perfect for my purposes with a great room. The staff were very helpful and courteous which made the stay a pleasure.Looking forward for another trip in near future

Review 7：Spacious, clean, quiet, free laundry. Staff are wonderful! Could not believe the great price for the room! Close enough to Christchurch to go 'in and out' if you have a car. A good 'last stop' before the airport if you have a car.

Review 8：Outstanding cleanliness. Owners/managers extremely friendly and helpful. Great location near racecourse. Would come back any day, and recommend to anyone.

Review 9：Very noisy as on the main road from Ashburton to Christchurch. Air plugs didn't help my husband sleep. A bit too far away from township.

Review 10：Large 1 bedroom apartment.

Review 11：Awesome motor lodge highly recommend. We stayed in a few places in and around the South Island and this place was by far the best will definately return on our next trip down south. Thanks again for the wonderful stay?

Review 12：it was a wet shower but the water flowed over a great area beyond the shower curtain leaving very little dry floor

Review 13：easy to locate clean well appointed comfortable and warm

Review 14：Great facilities! Great water pressure. Despite being road side, we were not woken by traffic at all! Would defiantly recommend and would be happy to stay again.

Review 15：We booked to stay 2 nights however upon arrival we heard due to amanagement error we were only booked for the 2nd night. As the motel hada No Vacancy we were sent to another motel at Managements expense. Thissounds fair but, we lost out on some of the amenities we had paid forwhich were not available at the next motel on that first night. We hadto unload and re-load not only personal but business gear multiple timeswhich was an inconvenience & really took time out of any 'downtime' we would have otherwise had to rest. The 2nd night we finallygot to stay at the original motel and to be honest we needed uppreferring the 1st one we were sent to. There was no note or anythingleft for us in our room or at reception by was of apology, andmanagement had gone away for the weekend. We have had no follow upsince. Won't stay again or recommend.

Review 16：It was clean and well presented. The bed was comfortable altho a king orsuperking preferred with the spa suit.

Review 17：Nothing bad that comes to mind

Review 18：So easy to find. Was lovely and clean and loved how private the rooms felt. Lovely staff and the bed was really comfortable

Review 19：TV in bedroom went out with the arc and the shower just would not work. Had to go without. Had to get owners in to make TV in lounge go. No carving knife. Not fair to put people so close to road - traffic noise horrendous

Review 20：It was clean and comfortable.

Review 21：Thought the lounge was sparsely decorated, two seater lounger, 2 x 1 seater and 4 seater table for the number of people who could occupy the room - 6 people.

Review 22：Beds were very comfortable, best sleep I had in a long time. Our apartment was on the Main Road but we barely heard any traffic. Very well insulated.

Review 23：None

Review 24：without asking we were upgrades to a Studio Apartment with one bedroom and a big leaving room, kitchenette and a big bathroom. Since it was a rainy day, it was very convenient. we were also welcomed with fresh scones from the oven... the WI-FI was excellent and we could used the Laundry Room for Free.

Review 25：The friendly reception,the escort to the room,the very nice shower and the modern up to date decor,the cleanliness and i would highly recommend this as your Ashburton accommodation

Review 29：The unit was roomy, good view, very clean, good kitchen facilities, all in all excellent. Would return without hesitation.

Review 30：clean, warm, lots room and space. excellent design, great price, loved spa and with shower over the top, great design, lots room in bathroom. would stay here again. I booked online and arrived 30 mins later-at 8pm ish and the room was already warm. no smell of sprays. relaxing.

Review 31：Single beds - maybe better to have 3/4 beds. My friend was taller and her legs look they were hanging out the end!

Review 32：Cleanliness, modern, shower pressure so good! So close to the racecourse...could walk both ways.

Review 33：Nil.

Review 34：Friendly owner, nice and clean room, kitchenette very well maintained, heater in rooms and toilet. Wifi. Many parking space. Very nice home cooked breakfast.

Review 35：Need hand rail for getting out of the spa bath for elderly people. Floor lamp in lounge flickered and overall lighting poor for elderly people

Review 36：Clean, comfy bed, all very adequate

Review 37：Quite noisy from trucks on main road alongside property that seemed to non-stop through out the night. Quite a hike to town & bulk of restaurants. Would need to take car for an evening out.

Review 38：Modern facilities, very clean, helpful & friendly staff.

Review 39：Traffic noise was a problem due to proximity to highway, but window glazing helped somewhat.

Review 40：Staff and facilities were excellent. Staff directed us to a nearby hotel which served the best meal we had in New Zealand.

Review 41：We stayed in the unit with the spa and when ever we walked in after our days outing it always smelt like wet dog, there must have had wet carpet at one stage

Review 42：All staff members were really friendly and helpful, would stay again

Review 43：busy road was noisy as no double glazing or sound proofing.

Review 44：lovely staff, seriously comfortable beds, room was spotlessly clean.loads of parking.easy to find.

Review 45：Close to a busy road. We had to be outside to use the internet as it did not work in the room. A room closer to reception might not have that problem.

Review 47：Close to road so if you want a long sleep could be noisy

Review 51：Welcoming by staff, supportive. Facility were clean and tidy. Excellent service. complimentary free wi-fi.

Review 52：Wifi was poor. If wifi was good, more chance that we would promote on Facebook or other sites. So important to keep in touch when we are a long way from home.

Review 53：Because it's on SH1, there is a lot of road noise. It didn't bother us to much but could stop some people sleeping. The motel does provide ear plugs, however.

Review 54：Spacious unit, well-appointed and clean; helpful, friendly staff. Very comfortable room - especially loved having comfortable chairs to sit on to watch TV.

Review 55：The ranch slider from our room gave good outdoor area but a couple of outside chairs to sit on would have been good instead of us taking the dining chairs out also unless we closed the drapes we had to be careful as on view from passers by possibly net curtain would help here ?

Review 56：Had to move the beds to plug the bedside lights in and some instructions for the heater would have been useful.

Review 57：Great location and parking. Kitchen well equipped and playroom for children a nice touch.

Review 60：Proximity to State Highway means lots of traffic noise and units don't seem to be double glazed so pretty noisy.

Review 61：Comfortable bed, awesome cooked breakfast, rooms clean and facilities wonderful.
