We were on a very late flight into Christchurch and it was the most convenient place for us to stay before picking up our hire car the next day. The shuttle bus service was great and the staff very helpful. They also had a nice cafe on the premises where we had breakfast before being taken back to the airport. We would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was very dirty …the sheets on the bed were dirty & stained in room 806. The bathroom was terrible. The shower sprayed water in all directions & with very old fixture that was difficult to use. The vanity basin was very dirty. The TV could not access normal TV channels. I was so disappointed with this unit. I would never stay again I had to ask for fresh sheets for the Bed…worst hotel room that I encountered in my 2 week holiday

Third time staying here. As it's easy and convenient for us to find when driving from our home town. The rooms I have stayed in have been spacious plus extremely clean. Staff I have spoken to are friendly. Would recommend Airport Gateway Motor Lodge.
