Fabulous stay in Nelson!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Sept 2024
Once again the Palazzo Motor Lodge did not disappoint. Quality furnishings, bedding, amenities. Cleanliness is top notch. Would always recommend. Communication is excellent, price definitely value for money and genuinely one of the loveliest motels to stay in NZ.

    I generally stay in Nelson 1 night every month on business. Due to busy workload and leaving late from Christchurch I was late getting in but it was not a problem and was warmly welcomed on my arrival.
    Very nicely appointed room. Comfortable bed.
    Super friendly hosts.
    Will definitely be returning.

    Centrally located so we were able to walk to the main shopping area
    with its old architecture plus some modern architecture.

    Clean and comfortable motel with a bit of Pizzazz.

    And the Palazzo staff were so helpful in enabling us to see all that we planned
    to see on our visit to Nelson.

    Clean, spacious, well equipped, and super friendly/helpful staff. Walking distance to many fine restaurants, coffee shops, and stores in Nelson City Center. Less than a 15 minute drive from the airport. Had a wonderful stay. Recommend unreservedly.

    The Palazzo Motor Lodge was very conveniently located, altho I had rented a car I walked everywhere I wanted to go. Travelling alone I felt secure / safe and well cared for. I was given some great tips for sightseeing / short nearby hikes and eating options. Overall very clean and friendly people happy to help me out :)
