"Excellent location. The host is awesome. Check in included a tour of the room, ammenities & an offer of help with our luggage. We went with the split level appartment which was great but you need to carry your bags up stairs. Location is close to the beach, shops & restaurants."

We only had 1 night there. I wish it had been longer. Peter picked us up from dropping our car off near the airport. He made sure everything was just right. I had a hot cup of chamomile tea in a fancy tea cup that night to get relaxed for an early evening. He also recommended how to best get to the train station in the morning.

Rooms are quiet and comfy and have a full kitchenette.
Some also have spa tubs. Highly recommend the Airport Palms.

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.

Signage for property parking for the hotel was missing, for which required me to search at busy airport parking . When this was reported , staff merely remarked it was the responsibility of the airport

Location on Cranford is a little out of town, so it's nice - not as crowded and congested. There are a couple of places to eat within walking distance, and others a short drive.
Loved the room. Clean, comfortable. Netflix available! Free wifi. Did laundry our last day. Clothesline available if sunny.
Steve & Feng are very hospitable and knowledgeable.
Would stay there again.

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.

Nice and peaceful location. Mostly heard birds chirping as the main sound. Clean and has shampoo, conditioner and soap in the shower. The stand alone bathroom had no hand soap, which was a bit odd. Has two different laundry and dryer locations on the property that are coin operated, you need to bring your own laundry soap which we had to go to the grocery store to purchase.
Sleeps up to 8 people. Each bed had a heated blanket if needed (not sure about the fold out couch because we didn't use...

Great location and staff!
I played on 8 golf courses within a 15 mile radius during my two-week stay.
Also took a 45-minute bus ride into Christchurch on Christmas Day from a bus-stop 5 minutes from the motel.
And boarded the TranzAlpine scenic rail train at a station 10-minutes away.
Walked to McDonald's, KFC, and New World grocery and other shops within minutes.
Sarah, the owner/manager made several special efforts to make my extended stay very comfortable.

This is a small, well-run motel close to the airport. The owners provided all the amenities we needed for an overnight stay before flying home. Jeff checked us in, was very kind and accommodating, delivered our simple pre-ordered breakfast and drove us to the airport. Everything was done well. The room was cute and cozy and bedding and towels were very nice. Information in the room was comprehensive and helpful.

The room was great. The bathroom was great except there was no hair conditioner. The floor however did not appear to have been cleaned. The carpet had stuff on it (including someone’s old contact lens!) and the floor was sticky on parts. The kitchenette was stocked but we didn’t really need that since we ate out every meal. Overall good stay.

Pretty much what the title says, and what the pictures online look like. The staff were very sweet and understanding, willing to accommodate early and late check-ins/outs, even in cases where multiple changes ad to be made due to shifting flight itineraries. There are <20 rooms on the property: at least one standalone (the one I stayed in for $60 USD a night), a couple duplexes, and one quadruplex that I could see.
