The number one go to motel in Nelson.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Jul 2024
This has always been my number one go to motel with good reason. The owners are fabulous & thoughtful (warm unit when arriving after dark in winter). The folks who looked after the motel in the owner’s absence were just as lovely & accommodating. Super clean & comfortable. Close to town easy walk.

    My stay at the Palazzo Motor Lodge was exceptional. From the opulent reception, I was greeted with impeccable service and a warm atmosphere. The attention to detail seamlessly blends luxury with comfort.

    The spacious suite was elegantly furnished with stunning views. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The bathroom featured a deep soaking tub and high-end amenities.

    The hotel’s location is ideal for both leisure and business, with easy access to major attractions and nearby shopping and entertainment.

    What sets the Palazzo Motor Lodge apart is its commitment to guest satisfaction. Every staff member was professional, courteous, and dedicated to making my stay unforgettable. The personalized service exceeded my expectations.

    I love coming to stay at the Palazzo Motor lodge every time I’m in Nelson as it offers a beautifully relaxing atmosphere which is always perfect for me! I couldn’t recommend staying here, enough!!!!

    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.
