Detailed Reviews
Although clean, the facilities are a bit old. With two adults and two older children the so called quadruple family room was too small to be comfortable. It would be better with three. There were only three chairs for the dining table! The heat pump was noisy, especially in the middle of the night. Service was helpful.
The road noise can be distracting at times.

I must admit I was not sure what to expect when I booked this motel. I’ll happily admit I was pleasantly surprised. Easy to find and well located. Friendly host. Clean and tidy parking area. The room itself was spotless. Although I was only there for one night, it left me with a positive impression and I’ll very happily stay there again.

I thought it was great. I had stayed at the Aspree a couple of weeks earlier and thought the Aztec a lot better, and fantastic value. It was quieter as it's away from the noisy main highway so I slept better. The room was better, towels were bigger and softer, the staff were nicer.

Stayed here for two nights. Clean and tidy room and clean bathroom as well. Great and helpful staff and very accommodating. Highly recommended stay in palmy north (as the locals call it). Parking right outside the unit too so that is handy. Wifi was great as well.

Stayed here whilst visit friends in Palmerston North. Didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel to be honest, but the room was a good size for 4 people, good kitchenette, great warm showers and warm rooms.
About a 10-15 mins walk from town. But a couple of nice cafes locally as well.

The rooms are wonderfully modern and comfortable. Phillip (the owner) gave wonderful service and help. If I could I'd give 4 1/2 stars as the only problem was the WiFi being spotty but it is being looked into so should be fixed soon. If I'm going to stay in Palmerston North again I will be staying here.

Stayed one night at the Aztec with my wife recently whilst passing through and was actually pleasantly surprised. Phil, the manager was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with in every respect. Upon first appearance the outside of the building did look a little dated but have to say that once inside everything had been updated to a good standard and we were extremely happy with the room, not only in terms of it's immaculate presentation but in particular with regard to the little things. you know the little things that you don't take with you on short trips, the little things that most motels / hotels don't provide, well top marks to the Aztec because "all" the little things were at hand should you need them.

This motel is well situated opposite the hospital and only a short drive to 'Palmy' CBD. Our room contained a very comfortable queen size bed and a single bed. It has a small kitchen with two burner cook top, microwave,frig and tea/coffee facilities. The shower and toilet are separate and spotlessly clean.
I had trouble accessing the internet via their wifi and the owners were most helpful in supplying a thumb drive aerial that fixed the problem. There is a fee for the internet.
The rooms were very comfortable and would be ideal for a one or two night stop over in Palmerston North. It is situated on a busy road but there was no road noise once inside the unit
I would stay here again

Very comfortable and excellent value. I was having a terrible time with a family member in hospital and the owners could not do enough to help me in my situation. They were amazing. The shower was lovely, smart tv and bed was very comfortable. Right near the hospital so perfect for family members.
