Comfort Hotel Benvenue
3.6/521 Reviews
DATE OF TRAVEL: July 2023 Stayed here for 3 days for a business trip. First impressions were.... disappointing. The hotel was empty, the chef was also at reception and the building looks run down. HOWEVER, check in was fast, the rooms were well appointed, if well travelled, and the bed was very comfy. Sadly I didn't get back to my hotel room until late night each night but the breakfast was fantastic and affordable. All the staff were super friendly, welcoming and accomondating. Room walls were thick as I didn't hear my colleagues in the other rooms at all, even when we were talking. Shower was great. Good pressure and the bathroom had all the basic amenities you would need for a regional motel. Though some people may not like it, the interestingly spaced corridors made the hotel feel like a rabbit warren and I actually quite enjoyed that. The gym was probably the best one I'd seen in all of my hotel stays in Canterbury. I was really impressed. Sadly it was closed before I left and when I came back so didn't get a chance to try it. It's only a few minutes away from the main restaurant ***** of the town and the food at all of them was fantastic. Caroline Bay Beach is beautiful and I enjoyed my morning walks there. Would I stay again? Though I may never have a need to again, most definitely if the need did arise. First looks are certainly deceiving with this place but push through it and you'll find yourself a gem of a stay =)

We really enjoyed our stay, sadly only for 1 night. We stayed in an Exexutive Spa unit, 5 people, and it was fab. Lovely and clean, spacious with very good kitchen facilities. Management was super helpful when accommodating a surprise extra guest. Beds were very comfy and the spa bath was enjoyed very much. Would love to return.

Asure Ashley Motor Lodge

We switched up our itinerary last minute so was limited on availability. I selected this and were addicted a bit early sns they happily accommodated us. Additionally they offered some discounted restaurant coupons. We had a corner unit away from the street. It really was quite large and enjoyed the 2 sofas. The amenities in the bathroom were plentiful too. It was a clean unit and the receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. Good to know about this ”chain” for the future!
Aspen on King

The equipment is very new, the room is very clean, the front desk service is very welcoming, and there is a large spa bath, great value for money! The biggest advantage is that the Wi-Fi signal is very good! Thank you, I will stay here next time!
Blue Dolphin Motel

The motel room I have stayed in is quite big, it is a suite, with the hall facing the road, so that the bedroom is not noisy. It is clean and the facilities are relatively new. The landlord likes to share raising butterflies, the kind that start with larvae, and observe the growth process:)
