Studio room stay

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Jan 2017via mobile
We stayed overnight in one of the studio rooms. Price was $115 which was fine for Nelson at this peak time of year. The walls of the room were quite thin so we could hear the couple next door snoring, and the shower went cold half way through - perhaps ran out due to being a late shower when the place was fully booked. Regardless it was pleasant enough for what we paid. Room was massive and complimentary milk for our tea. The WiFi code wouldnt work for either of us though.

We had a great stay at Brightwater Motor Inn. Staff were very attentive and helpful. We were spoiled by the kitchen staff with a generous serving of pudding. We had a nice walk down the rural roads and a short drive to the supermarkets in Richmond. Facilities as expected for price. Thank you!

We stayed here with a sprots group in September. The place was great and accommodating and the untis were tidy and clean. The only down side was the bed was not that comfortable, a little soft and lumpy.

Room tip: Away from the road is quieter.

Overall the staff were excellent in every way, the motel was the basic motel, TV was just free view no extra channels, shower had to be turned all the way up to even get hot water.

I stayed here because it had a restaraunt as well, and as I said the staff were great, but the food not so much. I believe I had stomach ache from the steak on Friday night...

Overall a place to stay when you do not expect too much.

Room tip: Wifi was not that great at all
