I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt the need to especially if we enjoyed our stay. Location was Close to the town so we were able to take a bus to explore without needing a car rental. Our room was also very clean and tidy and our beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful including the young person who served us at the counter 😊 we definitely would come back, Api Vailala, 4 months ago > The staff at Ascot Vale Motor Lodge were extremely accommodating and kind to us upon arrival, the gentleman at the front desk took us to our room and ensured we settled in nicely. The rooms were nice and spacious and very comfortable. We were greeted with the same kindness from other staff the next morning and it made our entire stay so enjoyable and pleasant. Would definitely recommend:), Molly Wimberley, 4 months ago > Especially loved the stool in the shower and the lift bar by the toilet, definitely catered for the older generation, amazingly quiet and secluded, only gripe is the room could have a clock, otherwise, HIGHLY recommended, will definitely return next time we visit Christchurch 😊, Tanzoi, 4 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5310202&lon=172.5812692) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5310202,172.5812692,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Ascot%20Vale%20Motor%20Lodge) - [Upper Riccarton](https://www.chch.live/upper-riccarton), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1103085262), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Ascot Vale Motor Lodge?** A motel in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch. **Where is Ascot Vale Motor Lodge?** 296 Riccarton Road, Upper Riccarton, on [Riccarton Road](https://www.chch.live/street/upper-riccarton/riccarton-road).
