I booked this place on the high review rating but I was very disappointed. The positives it was clean and the girl at reception was nice. This patio was about 1 m wide and directly next to a wooden fence people dragged what sounded like Wheely bins up till late at night. Additionally I was woken at 11.00 by several knocks on the door which after growling at the person proved to be an ubereat driver who had the room number incorrect.
I really don't know why this was such high review rating for $248.00 it was expensive and very ordinary.

Chelsea Park Motor lodge is a great base for exploring Nelson and surrounding area. Approximate 10 minute walk from main shopping street and some of the town's parks.
The room was spacious and comfortable with a small kitchen area including fridge.
The hosts were friendly and helpful offering advise on places to visit/ eat. Also, they went above and beyond when I accidentally stood at the wrong location for the morning bus shuttle to Abel Tasman park and missed the pick up.
I had stayed 2 nights but wish I had allowed a longer stay in my itinerary.

A very well appointed room, very functional, spacious and spotlessly clean, and daily housekeeping and replenishment of coffee, tea etc. An awesome balcony to sit and relax on with a cup of coffee, and a great location - just a 10 minute stroll to the vibrant Bridge Street or the Centre for Musical Arts. One aspect that could be improved was the lack of air conditioning but the fan was fairly effective to ameliorate the uncomfortably warm room after a sunny summer's day.

We were pleasantly surprised by the Chelsea Park Motor Lodge. The name brought up memories of a one-story road-side hotel. While it was road-side, it was two stories with 10 units. We walked in to a very nice two-bedroom unit with a living room and kitchenette. The beds were comfortable and the kitchenette was well-stocked. Our unit was sunny with a private balcony.
The on-site manager, Dean, was friendly and helpful with good suggestions for dinner out. We were able to walk to center city.
I would definitely recommend the spacious, two-bedroom unit in downtown Nelson.

Honestly Chelsea park motor lodge has to be one of thee most beautiful places I have been to. Staff are amazing and welcoming, my room was very tidy and comfortable, it’s in the perfect place to be in Nelson as everything you need, want and see is all around and just a short distance away.
I would definitely go back to this place again.
Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience and place to stay.
