Great place to stay for work..
Good sized feeds with one of the best t bones I've had ...friendly staff... the rooms average and road noise if you windows open ... bar shuts early most nights... 9.50pm on Saturday ?...................truckies dream
We found very limited reviews online, so booked a bit worried of what we will find. So it was great when we got there to find a lovely and comfortable space. We arrive at 12am, so we had a next morning check in. Staff were really friendly and willing to help.
This motor inn is right on the main road out of Nelson so is extremely noisy.
It was clean but a bit dated. The host was very friendly. The double bed was old and very uncomfortable, but had a good bathroom and shower.
There was a band playing outside the restaurant which was nice when we arrived.
We went to the restaurant for dinner and had to wait over an hour for a very lack lustre dinner. We both had the same main, a prawn and scallop dish by the plates were not even at all. There was one chef and she appeared rushed off her feet. We would have stayed for dessert, but just couldn't.
The food at the pub was superb, very tasty and well presented.. unfortunately, this is where the good things finished....
Place looking very tired and in need of some tlc. Window fittings falling apart, cables going across the wall, very untidy and lack of care. Noisy due to main road being so close, pub there closed at 9pm on a Friday night with no offer of more beer or last orders, it just closed..
Nothing open in the morning so had to go out for coffee..
The place has heaps of potential with a few handy man jobs completed, some management training and a lean 4X4. Massive missed opportunity with morning meals, breakfast, drinks or snacks.
Place could be superb with a few tweaks here and there, unfortunately this was not the case..
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.
