Michelle
Very nice place to stay. I like it having a castle theme.
Andrew
Close to city center, supermarket. Car park is very tight.
Martin
Very nice room, would have appreciated an early check in and check out extension. I had to wait around for a few hours before flying overseas
David
Parking is good. Rooms are fine but fairly basic
Ross and Karen
Great location and pricing. We had an excellent room. Property is a little older so bathroom facilities are not modern but were adequate. Parking was free so a bonus also.
Renee
This was a perfect overnight stay in Palmy! Enjoyed the large tub and tea selection too.
Ray
Cleanliness and condition
Pat
Even though it is on a main street it was very quiet. Handy to restaurants and cafes and supermarkets. Very clean rooms. Very pleasant, helpful receptionist.
DYLAN
Great little motel in the city centre. The room was clean and came with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and milk - this was much appreciated!
Staff were friendly and helpful too. I would recommend this motel and would stay again in the future.

Lacey
The room we stayed in had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the noisy bathroom fan from the unit next to us, and no doubt they experienced the same as us when we used our bathroom.
Pauliina
Friendly and hepful staff, and a great central location with a very short walk to shops and food options.
Anastasia
The room had everthing we needed it was very clean and well maintained it was a lovely quiet location our only gripe was the shower it dribbled water out definatley needs attention
David
An overall clean and tidy room
Reece
Hassle free accommodation
Tony
The place including bed is getting tired. It was however clean and ok for price
Elizabeth
The Young son of the proprietor was fantastic, couldn’t be any more helpful. Although it was right in downtown Palmerston, easy walking distance to the Square, it was Quiet, and the bed was fantastic and it was Clean. There were enough blankets to suit even me. I will be staying there every time I go to Palmerston North thanks All
Vivienne
Room was okay. One window catch wasn't working and it ment well got alot of road noise from cars
Only one of the heated lights in the bathroom was working.
The shower wasn't great kept going hot and cold while showering and the water flow was poor.
Have stayed there before and we had a much better room experience

Greeted by friendly Andy. Went upstairs to room 16 and were surprised as to how spacious it is.
We found it to be very clean and had everything we needed. We will certainly be returning.

Donna
Parking good...outside the room. Room was clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. There were 2 things we found...noisy plumbing and we could hear other people using their toilet. Other than that it was good.
Andy

Nigel
Late arrival for check in but full details/confirmation and instructions given by motel staff beforehand, which made the whole process much less stressful - appreciated
Brian
Arrival and check in were easy and staff were great. Unfortunately the room was very tired. It is in need of renovations to update it. The bathroom is worn and the water pressure is poor. The bed and pillows were hard. The internet was excellent and the TV was a good size with all Sky channels available. Parking was tight but seemed secure so no worries there. Overall a pretty average motel which could be better.
Bernardette

Room was clean, good linen, but very dated.
Really friendly staff on check in, easy parking & great location to walk to the square.
The price is fair for what it is, but avoid room 2 for road and guest noise (on a Friday night).

The space was great,all we needed,and surprisingly quite being so close to a main road . Very central to the town and all amenities, however the room could do with some cosmetic fixing up .And dish liquid would also be helpful for washing up the dishes provided, especially on extended stays.
Dawn
Friendly check in. Able to choose where to park. Clean and tidy room - looking out onto trees. Very close to city centre. You will hear neighbours plumbing and they will hear yours - so be aware of this. Good vibes.

It was ok
Michael
Room was dark and in need of a full refurbishment.
Stayed for 6 nights and on one occasion bed wasn’t made, rubbish not collected and only 1 towel replaced.
Motel was hard to find because hedge is growing over the sign and signage on the building doesn’t show up very well. TV so small it was difficult to watch.
Overall the place just looks very tired.

The bed was not great, we rolled together in the middle of king size bed. The toilet could possibly be replaced with new and the shrub was stained.
Diane
Could hear everything from unit above me. Power plug by bed wouldn’t work.
Used chocolate wrapper from previous guests left in drawer by bed.
We stayed 6 days and unit was not serviced everyday.
Very pleasant welcome when we arrived
