Fantastic service

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jul 2024
This is a lovely motor lodge, perfectly located in the centre of Nelson.
The service is fantastic, I was having a rough day on arrival , and just the general chat and genuine niceness during check in made me feel significantly better. They really do make you feel like , they really want you to enjoy being there.

The Motelier was very welcoming and helpful. We arrived at night, mid-Winter and our room was thoughtfully pre-heated. He offered us Umbrellas, detailed map of the area, and directions for the nearest good Thai Takeaway! The unit was cleaned daily to a very high standard. The layout was good and the location was great for those walking to main retail center.

Our stay at Palazzo was the best stay we’ve had in a long time. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment and it was beautiful. The bed was huge with comfortable linen and pillows. The kitchenette and bathroom had everything we needed for our entire stay. Max was very welcoming at check in, recommending different restaurants and explaining where everything is. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

We have stayed at the Palazzo many times before and always enjoy our time there, it's always clean, has very comfortable beds, and it's in a great location close to shops and restaurants. It is also a very reasonable price. We would thoroughly recommend this motel to anyone looking to stay in Nelson.
