We stayed in a studio apartment, which was lovely and clean. The carpet was new and clean, as was the bathroom. It was great having a smart TV with Netflix. It is short drive to the town centre, and a short walk to the supermarket.

Verified traveler
A great surprise
Last-minute switch to this hotel from another that was not acceptable. Our expectations were not high but we were pleasantly surprised. Bed was very comfortable, room was very spacious. Small balcony outside. Road noise minimal. Bathroom very large and somewhat spa-like in Its furnishings. TV was good, internet was fast, a/c was working and good! Restaurants within walking distance. Good amount of local info in the room binder.

Emma
The owner was so lovely, the rooms was nice and clean and well equipped rooms. Was nice having enough space to relax!
Unfortunately noisy other guests in the complex kept us up till 1am which made the stay disappointing, but not a reflection of the hotel or staff af all, just a long weekend full of people. I do look forward to staying again. 😌

We were visiting Palmerston North for a family member’s funeral. Spacious studio, well designed and walking distance to row funeral chapel and CBD. Our only criticism was thin walls through which we were disturbed by the neighbours’s TV ( which was turned off as soon as we complained with a bang on the wall).
