Good hotel choice for Nelson. Clean and comfortable. Great little restaurant out the front. Well positioned near local shops and a short drive into the CBD. Only issues were a couple of lights not working and a noisy / rattling air conditioner. I'd stay here again and I recommend the accommodation.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra.
