The room was outdated, in need of maintenance but most importantly dirty. Months of dust collection on shelves, ledges and furniture. The kitchen floor was sticky and the shower drip seal fell off. There was plenty of room and a good location for our needs.

Comfortable stay near Hagley Park

We had a generous sized room and comfortable bed. Our room had all the amenities, although the motel is a little old fashioned. Receptionist is friendly and helpful. Good eating spots nearby. Love the location so close to Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens. Motel is just outside the city center.

After a long drive and busy day, arriving at Camelot Motel with lovely Rose Gardens Friendly Welcome at Reception, excellent parking, we were able to relax and unwind after the busy day... At Camelot Motel you are transferred to another time .... The bustling city on the street outside seems a million miles away... Plus excellent value for money and Fido Friendly .. It's our number one choice when visiting CHCH
