If you're looking for something near the airport and off the beaten path, this is it. A guest area in the complex was very comfortable and the breakfast snacks were plentiful. Hosts couldn't have been nicer. Even helped me find the Southern Cross.

The room was spacious and warm! Warm is a good thing here since it was July and most other places we stayed at were freezing, so we really appreciated that. We really liked everything about the room, and the coffee/dining table was really practical. The owner/manager was really nice too.

This is a beautiful property located across the street from the Botanical Garden and green space. We stayed in the suite which I would recommend. It is so so nice! The host and hostess were available on the premise for what ever we needed. There are several areas in the villa for relaxation. It is quite for sleeping and safe for walking at night within a few blocks of shopping and eating.

The location is excellent for airport access and the rooms were clean and tidy with everything you could need. The ability to small milk bottles from the front desk was a lovely touch. We found the rooms to be very quiet even though the hotel is on a major road and right next to the airport. I would definitely stay here again. Great stay.

I stayed almost two weeks in a one-bedroom suite. Although from the outside, Ascot Vale Motor Lodge does not stand out among the string of places to stay along Riccarton Road, my room was outstanding. It appeared to have been recently refurbished and had everything I needed (kitchen, table, couch, wardrobe, bathroom, and bedroom. The bed was good and the wifi worked well.

Service was minimal as there is one person at desk, and not 24hrs.
Area is walking distance to restaurants and grocery store. Area has many east asian businesses and restaurants but western food (Italian, American) food are also in walking distance.

Loved how they held to the theme, even signs are to inmates from wardens. Be sure to take your own towel. Lots of fun, but probably not what mature travelers will prefer for long visits.
