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.
