The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection
4.1/551 Reviews
My family and I went here today for a Mother’s Day meal treat. When we arrived, yes it was busy but to be directed to our table with hand signals was a poor start not to mention finding people sitting at our clearly labelled reserved table having a coffee! Table wasn’t wiped down between them and us so that was black mark number 2 (doesn’t get better from here). Waited a solid 15 minutes before we approached the bar staff to give a drinks order and was told to take a seat “we’ll get there soon”. A waitress finally arrived, looked at us and shrugged and said “sorry” before taking our order. When the food arrived nearly an HOUR later, there were only 3 meals instead of 4 and I had to go in search of cutlery, napkins and condiments. The fourth meal arrived a solid 8 minutes later. I really wanted the food to redeem what was a lacklustre experience so far but it didn’t. The fish was heavily battered and very oily and the “chicken, Brie, almond filo parcel” was extremely light on chicken and the almonds weren’t there at all. Plus one of our meals had a hair in it 🤢 During the whole time we had been there, we were not approached once regarding further drinks and not asked if our meals were ok, HOWEVER the table right next to us were asked TWICE! We decided not to grow any older waiting for dessert and when paying, we were presented with an extraordinarily large bill. Half of it was items we certainly hadn’t ordered. No apology, just “that’s why we like you to check it”. Throw me an apron and a notepad sweetie and I’ll do the rest of your job for you while I’m at it. Here’s some advice for free - when you are short staffed, restrict your bookings and don’t take walk ins. Look after your bookings, they’ll usually come back. But we won’t be.

Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel
4.2/5100 Reviews
Clean, modern rooms in a very good central location. They kept our luggage at no change when we went off on a multi-day track. It's a big, corporate, type hotel, so not much personality, but the rooms and the central location make it a great place to stay.
Nelson City Top 10 Holiday Park
4.2/552 Reviews
The price has the advantage of being a little cheaper than other holiday top 10, but it was a little disappointing that towels were not provided. The facilities were clean and the staff were friendly, which was nice.
Palms Motel
4.5/547 Reviews
We had the pleasure of staying at the Palms last month. Due to circumstances out of our control, we were unable to say how long we'd need the room for. No problems, the room is available for as long as need be. We had a nice sunny studio room with a balcony. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a pleasant one, given the circumstances. The room was cleaned and re-stocked daily, bed very comfortable. As our room was closer to the main road we thought we'd get some traffic noise. We heard nothing. Supermarket directly across the road, walking tracks along the river areas, and only a short walk into Trafalgar St. Thank you, Brooke, Gardy & Kay for all of your help. We will definitely be back to stay when we next visit Nelson.
Tuscany Gardens Motor Lodge
4/536 Reviews
A clean, tidy unit with everything we needed supplied. Spacious bathroom with fabulous shower. Laundry available. Kind, cheerful staff. Close to great eateries, the beach and the city itself. Highly recommend this motel.
