Couldn’t recommend more highly. Such a kind and pleasant owner. Exceptionally clean motel, very comfortable beds and everything one could need. Close to the city centre but quiet. Excellent parking. We had been let down very last minute by “The Quality Suits” in Palmerston North and found ourselves stranded (after a long flight from singapore) with no accommodation on the eve of our daughters graduation from Massey University with nowhere to stay. PN was fully booked as you would expect. This motel owner could not have been more helpful and managed to shuffle things around to fit us in. He really saved us and we went on to enjoy our special family celebration. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in PN this place and owner is gold. Thank you.

Great welcome & shown to room. Lovely clean well maintained unit & furnishings. Neat private spa pool of our room. Full service every day and good tips on where to dine. Very handy to city centre so you can walk everywhere and very very quiet as down a driveway off the main road. Amazing value for money. I would absolutely recommend this place. I am sure it would be hard to beat.

Great little motel tucked away just a stones throw from the city centre. Our unit was very clean, well priced and well appointed with everything you need in a motel. Everything you need is very close by: supermarket, restaurants, fast food joints and bars! The shopping mall is a 5 minute walk away so usually you'll leave your car parked at the motel! Would we stay there again, you betcha!

Clean, quiet and very close to The Square. The unit was very well appointed, smart furnishings and plenty of power points for phone chargers and other electronic gadgets. The owners kindly let me do a load of washing and I was very grateful as laundry becomes a problem when you travel for extended spells. I throughly recommend The Avenue .

We stayed for 3 nights here while we explored the area and found the motel to be clean and well appointed. It is tucked away off-street down a driveway and even though the road was very busy, the motel was very quiet. The owners are on-site and very helpful and friendly. The laundry facilities are excellent and free which is a bonus. The only thing which I didn't like were the windows in the bathroom and toilet which had no privacy blinds. While the glass was 'patterned' once a light is on you can still see quite a bit.through it.You can tell if somebody is naked. We checked that out at night, So we did our ablutions in the dark once night fell. Just saying it would be a bonus to feel a little more private.

I stayed one night in a studio unit during the week. The unit was quiet, clean and nicely furnished. The staff were friendly staff and the prices are reasonable. It is also walking distance to the square and a number of restaurants. Recommended.

The only complaint I can think of is that the bowls are too small in the kitchen for a big bowl of cereal in the morning. That's all. I can't fault the cleanliness, the cozy warm rooms, the location (right downtown but so quiet...no street noise), the service, the helpfulness, the comfortable beds and all the little extras. The decor is modern, practical, clean and comfortable as well. There are a lot of hotels/ motels in this area so competition is fierce and they won't let you down here. We look forward to our next stay.

A small motel, just 14 suites, located very close to the CBD. We had a studio suite and it was everything we wanted: spacious, very clean, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen area, good bathroom with plenty of soft towels, fast free WiFi, TV with cable and NetFlix, and, best of all, excellent hosts with Jo and Graham. Highly recommended
