I decided to stay here because of the proximity to the Christchurch Train station at Addington . The hotel kindly runs a free shuttle service to the train station in order to catch the Trans Alpine or the Coastal Pacific . This saved getting a taxi at 6 am in the morning ! We were upgraded to a one bedroom unit that had a small but very well equipped kitchenette that enabled us to prepare a quick dinner and breakfast . The hotel , although close to a very busy arterial road has retro fitted doubled glazed windows meaning that traffic noise was non existent and we slept so well . We arrived very early but this was no problem as they kindly stored our luggage and helped us with various things and by giving directions .

Insect screens on the windows but this seems to be an omission at most accommodation places .

It's a quaint motor lodge on a busy road. The room is comfortable and has all the basics, including cable TV sports channels which I always appreciate. Conveniently walkable to the rugby stadium with a couple of place to eat along the way. The bed, table, kitchen, and bathroom were all good. I'd definitely stay here again.

The kitchen window in my room looked straight into the Lodge's next door neighbour's backyard, so I had a startling moment when I made eye contact with the neighbour washing his car so close to my kitchen. All I had to do was close the curtains. The reception was unattended for both my check-in and check-out, and both times took several minutes for the staff to attend, though they were pleasant thereafter.

Perfect for a short stop before getting the train. The motel was clean. Comfortable bed and good shower pressure. The owner was super accommodating, I emailed about early check in and she sorted us out. She also gave us a lift in the morning to the train station. Really happy with the value for money. Short walk in to town; if you were coming home in the dark you would probs take a cab as you walk through the park.

My only comment would be that the carpet in the room was quite stained. The carpet was perfectly clean (just marked) and the overall cleanliness of the property was really high, however the first impression from the carpet does not match with the actual cleanliness of the room.

Ticked all our boxes. Whilst a little out of town it was close to airport and train station and a major shopping mall- things we were after. Pick up from train station for free was a great service - although would have helped if the car had sign writing indicating where they were from. After a slight delay we ending up finding the car. Place has everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and great value.

As we didn’t have a cell phone communication for pick up could be better.

Location was great. Easy walk to restaurant, grocery. Train station walkable, but shuttle provided. Prince, the proprietor, was very helpful, very responsive, and definitely on site. Washer and dryer available for guest use at reasonable rate.

Facility a little worn. But it's also getting some renovations. This wasn't an issue, I can seriously appreciate the effort being made by new owner. Good value for price paid; met our needs and close to railway!

Excellent location between Christchurch Airport and Christchurch center to discover the city and its surroundings. The manager Prince and his team really made us feel at home with their excellent professional services provided, cleanliness of the spacious rooms, pick-up + drop-off as promised offered by Prince as well as transport to the airport. The facilities of the room were flawless. Everything amazing :-) Thanks a lot and we promise to come back to TOWER JUNCTION MOTOR LODGE when again in New Zealand!

Nothing to comment. Everything perfect!!!

Everything!!! Phyllis was very helpful and accommodating. I had arrived early and she told me where I could hang around while she got the room ready for early check-in. The room was spacious and cozy. Had a kitchenette with stove and microwave oven. Bathroom had separate shower area. Overall, it felt like home with the warm lighting and all. The Tranzalpine train station and botanical gardens are within walking distance. Phyllis even drove me to the station which I am most grateful for. Would definitely come back if I visit South island again

If I had to name something then, l would say perhaps plug points could be upgraded to having USB connectivity and water pressure at the bathroom could be better

Man at reception was lovely and gave us a tour of our room and facilities which was nice and welcoming. Our room was clean and the TV even had Netflix! Beds were comfy too. Considering it’s on a main busy road, our room was relatively quiet.

The room can get warm in Christchurch heat which is probably the only downside. BUT we had a fan to cool us down, so can’t really fault anything here.

Rooms nice, location ok

There were 3 of us booked in one room. couple on bed, in bedroom . single on pull out couch, which was uncomfortable squeaky, not what we expected, lights outside bedroom windows shine bright through blinds at night, hard to sleep lights are shining in strong by bed. Tv didn't go in bedroom. An the 3rd person had to come into bedroom to get to bathroom.

Very good drop off at station for transalpine train in the morning. This is a free service from this property. Room and facilities all excellent and comfortable. Nearby shops and eateries in walking distance but no grocery shops.

Quite a way out of town but we like walking so walked through Hagley Park. May be easy on transport but we walked in so didn’t look at this. We knew when we booked we were away from town so not an issue for us. No nearby shop/supermarket for groceries to walk to so be prepared.
