Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at the 123 Motel, it struck me how this establishment balances value with comfort. The room was spacious and modern, complete with a kitchenette that made life easy, especially since it had cookware and an electric kettle for those much-needed cups of tea. The heating system was efficient, an absolute plus on those brisk Christchurch nights. Housekeeping kept everything clean, providing a sense of well-being, and I found the free Wi-Fi robust enough for work. Being just a minute's walk from Riccarton mall was convenient, as was the free parking without any additional charges. While the room size felt a tad cramped with two big suitcases, the 24-hour reception was accommodating, even allowing luggage storage until my flight. Considering the overall offerings, 123 Motel is a wise choice for travelers wanting both value and a touch of luxury without breaking the bank.
