Palms Motel Hotels in Nelson

Palms Motel

"Great location and facilities. Parking directly outside the unit. Very clean, daily room servicing. Friendly and helpful staff. Followed up on any concerns quickly (TV remote problems). Supermarket nearby and easy walk around Nelson. Close to activities and easy driving distance to key attractions."

Apex Motorlodge Hotels in Nelson

Apex Motorlodge

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at the Apex. Our 1 bedroom suite was spotless- even the windows. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and large tv with dozens of channels as well as access to sign in to your Netflix or Amazon Video accounts. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the beautiful, sandy beach is about a 7 minute walk. It is privately owned and the couple who run it go out of their way to make sure all of their guests are taken care of. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends."

ASURE Fountain Resort Motel Hotels in Nelson

ASURE Fountain Resort Motel

"The owner and staff are terrific. We had a two bedroom unit and it was more than expected comfortable. The host, Cobber, went out of his way to cover our first-timer plug adapter needs and the staff, including (pronounced) Timmy were great at explaining public transit and fielding what must have seemed like a lot of questions. We are heading back again at the end of our NZ visit!"

Kings Gate Motel Hotels in Nelson

Kings Gate Motel

"We booked a 2 room cabin, the place was quiet that was nice but the place wasn't clean a dirty oven try left in the oven! Plates with crumbs on them! The bathroom fan didn't work so the cabin was super super damp, no soaps or shampoo dispensers were all empty! The bathroom and toilet door didn't close properly or quietly. The main bedroom must have a leak somewhere it rained on the last day and the carpet in the morning was super wet along the window. Couches were uncomfortable feels like it pushes you head forward and the TV had no Internet connection to watch Netflix like advertised. The place is very run down and needs a really really good clean! The accommodation was close to town and quiet. I wouldn't recommend this place spend an extra $100 and stay somewhere else"

"I stayed here for 2 night. The hostel is located very close to everything. Very convenient. I went to Nelson by Intercity bus. It takes around under 10 min or less from bus station. Kitchen and living room is big. It is really comfortable for cooking. Room is decent. You got what you pay for room. There was no reception. They sent me introductions to check in."
