Palazzo Motor Lodge

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 May 2024via mobile
This was a really nice place to stay. Great location - walking distance to town centre, the supermarket and restaurants. It was also on the bus route. If you were travelling without a car you could catch an airport bus to town and then walk from there to the motor lodge - assuming your travelling with not too much luggage.
My room had a lovely interior - when i opened the door, i actually thought wow! It was welcoming and bigger than i expected - with separate bedroom and lounge. Compared to other places i have stayed, the kitchenette was well equipped with plenty of crockery and glassware. The room was very clean. My bed was super comfortable and warm. There was plenty of places to put my belongings. The room had blackout curtains. The only minor con, was my bedroom was by the road so there was some traffic noise. But this is Nelson, so it was not alot of noise. There were earplugs provided for those who might struggle. Heating was by a heatpump which kept the room warm and comfortable overnight. The bathroom had a spa bath - for those who love a long hot soak.
The staff or owner when I checked in and out, was super helpful and friendly.
Overall, I really like this lodge and would stay here again.

    I visit Nelson every 6 months for business and the Palazzo is my goto accommodation for every visit. Their standards in hospitality and cleanliness have never faltered across the past 6 years I've stayed there.
    The rooms are immaculate, the bed a delight to sleep in, everything one would need in a home away from home and wonderful hosts.
    Keep up the great work Max and Robyn, it is greatly appreciated.

    We stayed here before and after walking the Abel Tasman. The motel is walking distance to town, supermarket, restaurants and market. The rooms are well equipped, clean and warm, the friendly and helpful assistance from Robyn was the icing on the cake! When we return to Nelson I would not stay anywhere else. A++

    Room tip: Really comfortable beds!

    Clean, Comfortable and convenient. The owners were amazing, better than any concierge at a big hotel. Great recommendations for restaurants and tours. 5 stars is not enough for this place, it was the best place we stayed on our entire trip.

    Had a wonderful couple of nights at the Palazzo, Nelson.
    The room was more than comfortable and the friendly and helpful assistance from Robyn made our stay even better. A great motel in a great location with an exceptionally well appointed room.
