Arthur's Court Motor Lodge

Quiet, clean and a great stop over. Not close enough to city center but we were on our way further down south. Good size lounge/kitchen with two recliner chairs, table ect. Super laundry facilities with great drier! Very clean and fresh feeling!

This motel describes itself as 5 star luxury. In reality, it’s a social housing refuge for homeless families. Unfortunately, what this means for members of the public who pay to stay here is that you’re subjected to constant noise from what seems like dozens of unsupervised children. These children were outside screaming, shouting and being a noxious until the wee hours of the morning. Several dodgy acting characters around the rooms and car park. Loitering, shady looks, exchanges late at night. The experience couldn’t have been less luxury. Horrid.

Got there with family at 6.30pm, They have people living in this hotel that don’t have homes, so emergency housing….sitting outside ruff as… not what you want you kids o partner to see he. Your spec ting a nice hotel. There were kids on scooter and running around outside rooms and quality. Not what was advertised online. Disappointed and had to go find new accommodation at 6.30 at night. Have stayed in these kind of set ups before and had people coming and goin all hours of the night… dodgy

We were disappointed that having previously stayed here and rated it very high that it has now become short term rentals for social housing. We understand motels needed to survive through covid but maybe people should be informed that the majority of their clients are semi permanent as the vibe of the place has definitely changed. We were woken at 2am by people catching up with each other outside their units talking and laughing with no regard to others staying in the motel. The unit we stayed in was great with a spa and the bed was comfortable but the whole experience/vibe of the place is not one we will be repeating. We should not have had to close our curtains to get privacy in the afternoon due to numerous kids riding past our door and car on their scooters.

Great room ,good facilities, can't fault it

Excellent stay, after a mishap the owners and staff were more than accommodating us with changes due to my error and missing the ferry the previous day. The unit was spacious and spotless and everything needed. Loved the Netflix and recliners after a busy day sightseeing and travelling. Rebecca was ever so friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The unit had parking right outside and even a little area for a quiet relax time outside. Breakfast was available if needed and I was even given some extra milk when asked at check in as I’m a huge coffee drinker. Only downside is we only got to stay the one night instead of two as previously mentioned due to missing the ferry and getting my dates mixed up. Thanks and will definitely be back if visiting Christchurch again in the future.

units are great, as usual.

We were disappointed that given its star rating we were not advised when booking that the motel was involved in assisted housing, a fact that we feel should have been advised, also this was the only motel during our whole South Island holiday ( 20 nights ) that wanted to charge us loading for credit card use

Very nice room kids loved the online tv channels very friendly guy at the front desk
