Motels suit travellers who want their own space, a basic kitchen and parking at the door rather than hotel services. Because rooms are often compact studios, it is worth checking the bed set-up and how many people a unit sleeps before you book. A central position helps if you plan to walk to cafés, restaurants and attractions instead of driving, and quieter rooms are usually worth asking for if you are a light sleeper.
For visitors, this address puts the city centre, the Clock Tower and Te Manawa within easy reach.
