The Hotel Nelson

The Hotel Nelson

10/10 Excellent
"The little kitchen area was nice. We ate dinner at the restaurant on site and it was very good. The little pizza place a block or so away was fantastic. The laundry room was perfect and soap was included. The beds were comfortable and even with open windows it was quiet. The early morning birdsong was lovely. This hotel is nicer than the pictures and description!"
