My wife and I stayed one night at the motel and thought it was great. Very stylish and clean. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of surfaces for us to spread out and also to eat food we had brought. We arrived much later than expected, but Harry was extremely welcoming anyway. I had sprained my ankle on a hike that afternoon, and Harry was so thoughtful and genuinely concerned about me. If we’re ever in Nelson again, we definitely will stay with him.
