The front desk was very accommodating in letting me leave my bags at the desk since I arrived off the plane before I could check in, and then I explored Christchurch on foot. The room was spacious and well laid out with a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, and dishes. The only thing is that the motel is next to a busy street so it was a bit noisy, but the street calmed down during the night.
