We stayed 3 nights, Room was serviced every day. Very comfortable unit with everything we needed. Motel is in a nice area and very handy to everything including the airport. On a lighter note, if the motel manager recommends the local Indian restaurant to his guests, he should ensure there is extra toilet paper in the room, especially if you have the hot Lamb Madras. The food was absolutely delicious. Overall, our stay in Nelson was fabulous and we highly recommend The Arcadia Motel.

Unfortunately a bunch of people outside drinking, swearing etc. when I arrived was not a great impression. Noisy neighbors. I am assuming the facility is used for emergency housing which wo0uld have been nice to know.

Response from Andy on Nov 20, 2022
Hi Stanley, After all the super reviews we have received from our valued guests it feels strange having a bad one. Your assumption is very much incorrect, we are not used for emergency housing. I believe the disturbance was from the house next door. Sorry it disturbed your stay.

A convenient property
A nice property convenient to the Nelson Airport, but this can be somewhat of a disadvantage depending upon the flight paths for take off and landing (can be very noisy). The property has a nice swimming pool and barbeque facility.. The beach is also quite close.
