It is our third time here

Again, Airport Gateway Motor Lodge was a comfortable place to stay before an very early morning flight back to Melbourne, Australia. Their airport pick-up and drop-off service is fantastic. The room was clean, comfortable, with great amenities in the kitchen and bathroom.

Great service

Had an upgrade to room with a separate bedroom. Really lovely service from the male staff member who picked us up at the airport at 12.30am in the rain, took us straight to the door and took bags in for us. Thank you. Nice to have an upgrade but we were only there 7.5 hours. Room needs some updating especially the bathroom with the red toilet, bath, basin. slept well

Great place to stay near the Christchurch airport

Very comfortable bed with two extra pillows, which we put to use. The small kitchen was only used for coffee and tea making as we only stayed one night. It had a small fridge, cooktop, microwave, kettle, toaster, a few pots and pans, cutlery for two people, several types of glasses, cups, plates, sal and pepper, dishwashing equipment with a small sink and tap in the kitchen. There was a desk and chair for working with an overhead lamp for the desk. The WiFi was very good. There was a very large TV with a Blu-ray player, speakers in the ceiling and a receiver. I think there was Foxtel. The bathroom was well equipped with even fragrance spray for smells. Heated towel rail was a welcome addition in the bathroom. The parking was easy with access to our room from the parking space being only a couple of steps away. The surrounding environment was free of noise and close to take-away food places and six-to-ten-minute driving distance to supermarkets.

OMG we had fantastic service, from the lady who checked us in, who was so lovely, to the gentleman (& he was a gentleman) who took us to our room, who insisted on carrying our bags up the flight of stairs, which would have felt like a mountain with my large case (be carried two). Our room was a upstairs studio and is was clean tidy and just would we needed. This studio seemed to be newly updated. The bed is the only thing I will mention. Even though is felt on the harder side, I had a great sleep. It also has a bar/restaurant, which we did. It use. Highly recommend this place to stay.
