Decent room size , spacious with all amenities you need for a short stay. A bit dark with minimal Natural lighting if you plan to spend a bit of time inside.

Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate your comments and compliments of the room size and amenities and we will look into your feedback on lights as we would like to ensure to provide better service to our guests. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
The couple running the Hacienda were very helpful and could not do enough for us. It was obvious they took great pride in the place, keeping the outside space and bushes immaculate. The room had everything we needed a d everything worked.

Hi, Karen. Thank you so much for your kind compliment.You were such a nice person and our awesome guest. Hope you had a wonderful memories in Palmerston North. Many thanks.
The Motel while very innocuous from the exterior offers superb comfort. Beds are incredibly comfortable and the lazy boy in my room was a huge bonus and was very well utilised.
Very comfortable room with lots of space and modern appliances. TV and sky in room which was a bonus and not always available at most other motels/hotels where I stay. Great location with approximately 15 minute walk to Palmerston centre.
The welcome was warm and friendly, check in super efficient. Great rooms for travellers - upstairs for safety, sparkling clean, great toiletries. Bedding and pillows were delish and the towels were thick and snuggly. Great stay!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind feedback
The unit was refurbished to a very high standard and was clean and spacious. Having the kitchen in a separate room was great especially for those who don't like the "sleeping in a kitchen" feel with most self contained units. The location was nice and quiet and close to the centre of town. I would stay again.

Overall satisfied, good value and clean motel in a good location. Comfortable bed & good quality bedding. Also a good shower and products to use. Kitchen facilities very good too.
TV connection did cut out a lot, so we gave up watching. Room had a bad musty smell, unsure if it was due to the previous guests and no time to air out or not.
The Motor Lodge was clean, well-serviced and quiet. The only downside was limited parking spaces, although this could be due to all units being full, which attests to its popularity.
While the rooms were clean and comfortable. I did not like the scent in the room it was overpowering powder perfume odor. I also disliked that the wi-fi signal was spotty and unreliable. It needs an upgrade.

Thank you for your candid review of your stay, we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry about the wifi signal and we are in the process of fixing this problem.
Very acceptable. Web page says that breakfast can be ordered but this is outdated information. Very friendly staff and convenient location.
