8/10 Very good

The room was clean, and it was nice having our own little "house". The shower was in the spa bathtub, so there was no curtain. We didn't have a specific parking spot, but there was enough around so that wasn't an issue. The staff was great!

6/10 Good

Yes the staff were great and room was nice and clean. Just needs a few things sorting out. The free standing lamp wasnt working in the lounge. The kitchen sink tap was loose. Curtains in the bedroom were worn with holes and need replacing. Otherwise all good

Weekend Away

Nelson is a lovely place to stay. Weather was warm & a great vibe in the town centre. The motel has parking but it's easy to walk into the town centre. It was comfortable with separate little kitchen & bathroom. Nice cafe next to river about 5 mins walk from motel.

2/10 Poor

The room was tired and dirty. Very underequipped for a 2 bedroom apartment. Fridge was leaking. Some lights did not work. The filters in the air conditioner unit were filthy. The stove cooktop was dirty. There was no milk in the room or offered at check-in. The swimming pool was very dirty.

Very friendly & helpful staff . The 2bedroom unit was in poor condition, mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, the oven still had crumbs & the icebox was unusable due to ice buildup.

Property looked much different in photos than it did in person. Cockroach running along walls, dirty under the furniture, very small. Pool was a mess. Overall very unhappy with my stay.

An OK stay

We booked a garden studio and were a bit disappointed to be backing onto the laundry and as such our bathroom smelt a bit fusty. Our outside space was also disappointing as there was a bench perched on uneven slabs so was not level and not really user friendly. The corner bath with shower over was a bit precarious to get into without a proper handrail to grab or curtain around either and the shower head was too low for me being 6ft. Overall we thought the place was a little tired and in need of an upgrade. Great addition of access to the pool.

2/10 Poor

Never again!

From the get go there was next to none customer service. The managers were arguing as I arrived and carried on even after I rang the bell. I was not alone in hearing this as another guest told me they heard it too. When we got back from dinner there were 5 guests who could not get hold of anyone to give them their room. Other guests and myself helped them out by offering them beds in our rooms. I literally had 3 strangers sleeping in one of my bedrooms. The shower was clogged and didn’t drain away and the shower pressure was very low, hard to rinse hair out before the shower base overflowed. There was 1/2 roll of toilet paper with no spares. Overall an awful experience.
