Very tidy motel, good value for money especially last minute. Little out of the way but at least that means no traffic noise.

Bed was nice & soft. Had mist of what we needed.
No milk & couldn't see any shops nearby.

Very comfortable and very clean spacious unit. There were 3 of us in a 3 person unit but only towels, cutlery, dishes etc for 2 people. No milk and very few tea bags, coffee etc. Comfortable bed. Shower over the spa bath that was a bit ‘tricky’ entering and exiting. We were there for 3 nights. Staff helpful.

I cannot rate the Alpha highly enough on here! Joy was the loveliest and kindest lady who welcomed us when we arrived, arranged a change in rooms and also helped with our bags! Joy went above and beyond to make our stay extra special! Will absolutely always stay here on trips to CHCH from now on!

Not up to scratch!
I've stayed here a few times and had been okay so far, but the bathroom this time wasn't great. The two heat lamps didn't go and when you looked at the state of the unit it was pretty bad. Also I turned on a wall switch which must've been for the spa bath, which suddenly started going, but you couldn't turn it off at the bath as the switch there looked broken. The heat pump looked like a panel had been broken and was noisy as well. A bit tired overall, especially for a motel that uses the word luxury, when it is far from it.

Comfortable in Middleton
A convenient and comfortable place to stay, just down the road from our Chch warehouse. Spacious enough and close to Bush Inn shops

Would not reccommend
Stayed for one night and would never go back. Mold all over the blinds in every room, mold all on the floor in the bathroom, no ventillation in the so there was heaps of condinsation leaking everywhere and out of the lights was brown droplets, cracks in the walls and roof, heat pump barely works, pillows were old and clumpy and the whole place smelt terrible. Lounge was old and cracked and was facing the toilet which was not pleasant. Very unhappy. Only plus side was staff in reception was nice when i went to ask for more toilet paper because they only gave us 1 roll for 4 people.
