The room was spacious and the bed comfy. A small sofa in the living area was nice. I don’t like fixed head showers, rather old fashioned. Also would have liked more shelves/storage - the bedside tables were so small there wasn’t room for anything apart from the bedside lamp. The motel has a garden area with seating but is on a busy main road.

We stayed here for two nights in mid-December. The people running the Motel were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. The noise from the road next-door was not very loud, which was nice. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Good accom for a 1 night stay.
We had a one night stay and it worked out well for us as a family of four with the beach, take-aways, cafes nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful and even thought it is on a busy road the unit was quiet. The kitchen(ette) area is quite small so if staying longer you might feel cramped with 4 people in the space but it was fine for our purpose.

It was a very brief stay for one night, but it was perfectly fine for a quick stay. There is a bit of traffic noise and a busy road especially in peak hour, but easy to city centre and beach.

Nice hotel, good location and easy to find.
The hotel receptionist was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. We booked the room with two bedrooms for six people. There were two single bed pull out sofas in the living area that were very comfortable for adults to sleep in.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Not as advertised
We had booked a two bed apartment with four single beds. On arrival we were given an apartment with bunk beds and a double bed. After complaining to the owner, and some discussions, we were offered another apartment which had a double bed, single bed and a sofa - not what we had booked but we had to accept as there was nowhere else to stay at such short notice. Luckily, it was for only one night. Also, the shower didn't work properly.

Perfect short stay motor lodge or as a base
We were in Nelson for 24hrs and just needed somewhere comfortable to sleep the night and that was exactly what we got. What we also got was a very friendly, helpful and informative host, beautifully clean facilities, an outdoor sheltered area, which was perfect to hide from the sun and heat. We were saved from changing into our funeral attire in some yuk public toilet by a host that was more than happy to help us out by extending our check out without having to pay for a full day - phew, the family relief was visible.
