311 Motel Riccarton

Hotel staff were wonderful. They kindly waited for us to check in at 8pm and allowed us to check out late at 11am. Good size room, comfy bed, clean bathroom. Really appreciated having a table and chairs for eating. It’s surprising how many motels have suites with cooking facilities but don’t have a table to eat at. Good location, close to train, shopping mall, grocery store and a couple of restaurants.

I was upgraded from a studio to a 1 bedroom which was very nice since I stayed for 10 days to visit family living nearby. Location was very convenient, bed was firm and comfortable and rooms had everything I needed. Kitchenette worked well for me to prepare simple dinners.

Great position - whilst on a main road, I was in a very quiet unit. Bus stop outside, close to a supermarket and speciality shops, and a short bus ride to the largest Westfield shopping centre in the South Island. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The motel staff made arrangement for us to pick up the keys even when we arrived only at 2am. The facility is in good condition and the receptionist was very friendly. As this was our first night in NZ for our holidays, it going smooth in all ways helped us to settle well fast.

Very clean, spacious, room looked newly refurbished, good water pressure in the shower, comfortable bed and pillows. Very handy having the kitchenette.
