"This was a great stay and such a lovely place to be in! It was very clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind. Parking was also so great and everything very easy to find within the venue. It is also the perfect location, across the road from the supermarket and only a few blocks away from the main shopping centres. Super great place and would recommend!!"

8/10 Good
"Great accommodation, location, staff and loved the spa bath. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was being able to hear the snoring from the room next door through the night and their conversations the next morning. Glad I packed my earplugs. I would stay there again but if they are not fully booked, I will ask for a room with no neighbours."

"Brilliant motel. I travel to Palmerston North on a regular basis and this is one of the best motels I have stayed at. Large rooms, comfortable bed, good size kitchen with plenty of crockery. Large bathroom with good amenities and lovely large walk in shower. Very clean upgraded property. Although on busy main road, Fitzherbert Ave, motel sits at back of property and is very quiet. Lovely walks around the area, and close to square. I would recommend this motel, with friendly management which makes your stay very pleasant."
