Where do I start with the Airport Gateway Motor Lodge. Over priced, pathetic wifi, very loud street-noise (and the loud sound of running water all night from a down-pipe even though it wasn't raining???), tired old rooms (except for the TV nothing has been replaced for over a decade at least), dirty crockery and no heater in the bathroom. We... More

The location is great, so close to the airport and the motel offers a free shuttle to the airport which is a core benefit. The room was clean and quiet so I had a very good sleep. In the Monday morning, I tried to had breakfast before I checked out, the weather was terrible but when I walked into the... More

BEWARE! It would be worth phoning to check that your booked room is actually available! I stayed here a couple of weeks ago. Booking was confirmed 33 days in advance for an "on-line special" at $165 a night in a new executive studio. Qualmark 4-star rating, got to be good, right? I checked in (not a word to me of... More

We stayed here on our way back to Australia, just a short overnight stay. We arrived early evening by complimentary transfer, the young girl who picked us up wasn't the most friendly, check in was also with her, it went quite well. We arrived in our very dated room, which was very very spacious. We enjoyed a laugh about the... More

A very comfortable bed in an ultra modern room. A kitchenette was included in the room, which had bifold doors that got in the way of closing the bathroom door. The bathroom was spacious and clean. There was free wifi and plunger coffee, as well as hot chocolate. The room cost $150.00. The meals were good, but expensive. We were,... More

Booked online for a nights accommodation before and after a two week motorhome holiday. Arrived after midnight, a free phone call saw us picked up within minutes. Were taken to our room lugging our luggage up open stairways in the rain, oops wrong room sorry, was taken to our correct room once again upstairs. Well, talk obout living in the... More

Arrived Christchurch, a quick phone call to Airport Gateway and within a very short time a van arrived to transfer me to the Lodge - the rooms were clean, well looked after and spacious. A TV in the lounge and bedroom, a separate kitchen and lounge area. Relaxing furnishings in good home like colours and fabrics. Big bathroom with a... More

I cannot believe that this place has the nerve to charge what it does. If it wasn't for the fact that we were flying out early the next day and I would have lost my money I would have left. This place is so dated and grotty and really smells.the bathroom was appalling - the shower curtain was hanging on... More

The rooms are being renovated. We had a new room and it was nice. Couldn't find the light switches at first, but did eventually. Not a lot else wrong with the room. Criticisms are that: - the restaurant was average. Food only okay, expensive, pathetic service, and an odd room. - the wifi was nothing short of rubbish... they did... More
