It wasn't too bad. It wasn't obvious at first where the reception was. I wasn't overly impressed with the location, but I obviously wasn't that bothered. It's not too far away from the Square, so I'm reasonably happy even if it felt a bit isolated. Don't like being next to a TAB but it didn't intrude on my stay so it all evened out

At first glance we were uncertain as it had been the first time we had booked a room there. We were received by the hostess. We arrived to celebrate a colleagues birthday, unfortunately she had become ill and her birthday party was put on hold. Although we did not stay, we did enjoy how conveniently close the motel is from the township and shopping stores.

Excelente hotel

Grandioso hotel en Palmerston North.
Si te encuentras en la zona, este hotel está bastante céntrico, es muy limpio, tiene baño en cada cuarto y un mini frigobar.
Las personas que me atendieron fueron muy amables conmigo y eran muy amigables.
Definitivamente volvería.
