Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable and clean. A little dated. Good shower with good pressure. Perfect for our wee family, there was even a small play area with a great trampoline.

We are glad you found our rooms comfortable and roomy. We also have another great cafe next door to try on you next visit.
Yes the walking and biking tracks around the river are great to stretch the legs.
We look forward to meeting you again.

Extremely comfy beds
Posted Mar 26, 2014 on HotelsQuite expensive. $115 for one person is a bit much but the bed was quite comfy and the service was great.

Disappointing motel with not great attitude
Posted Nov 13, 2013
Pros: The bed and shower was good.
Cons: attitude and online booking. I actually rang the motel twice and tried to leave a message as I didn't want to book through travel websites
Location: Ashburton
Both Expedia and the Ashcroft are to blame for the experience getting off on the wrong foot. I clearly booked for a three person room on the website and then in the small print it said the actual room I booked was for two people.
So when we arrived before I had even really said hello I was greeted with a comment of "you do realise you have to pay an extra person fee?". Which quite frankly could have been dealt with in a lot better way and manner. I then, before really saying anything at all, had a piece of paper trust in front of me saying "read this" - a print out of an online form. Not the form I filled out and when I questioned that I was accused of not reading the fine print and there would be no discussion on the matter. Apparently it gets heated a lot in their office over this matter. Well if it happens so much then maybe someone should do something about it not just be rude to the customers.
So what should have been a good stay started off with a rude conversation which left a bad taste in the mouth. I would not have minded paying the extra but it was the way it was done which was quite so rude.
Apart from that it is an average motel with no extras or frills. A comfy bed for the night. But I will not be going there again ever.
