It was a little hard to find the office as it is set back from the street, but once we did, we were met by the most gracious staff. Appreciated that we had an assigned parking spot for our room. Hotel was quiet and has a dedicated restaurant on site. Very convenient for our stay in Nelson.

We were put in the room next to Reception. On the first night, the noise from behind the reception area was excessive. On the second night of our stay, we made staff aware of the problem at about 7 o’clock and the noise mostly from young children was stopped. Our room was supposed to be an invalid room, even though we are not invalids, there was a 6 foot and 3 foot bed in the room. The 6 foot bed was slammed against the window so unless you are prepared to jump across the bed couldn’t get into bed. Consequently, my wife slept in a 3 foot bed. 3 foot bed was too close to the door to the bathroom. So anyone in a wheelchair would not have been able to get into the bathroom. The door to the bathroom squeaked! At Reception on leaving we told the staff of the issues with the room and they apologised and said they were aware of the problem and thought it had been solved. Obviously the hotel it’s not managed properly.

Stayed on a family holiday, 2 adults 2 children. Room was a great size, clean and comfortable. We don’t normally dine in hotel restaurants as they are normally expensive and menus aren’t suitable for kids but the restaurant had something for everyone, the food was great and was very reasonably priced. The kids swam in the pool and had a great time. Would definitely recommend it was our second time staying was also close to the CBD and supermarket.

The only issue with this property was the internet in certain rooms. Our first room no.67 did it have any internet connection, so we were moved to no. 8 near the reception and it was fine. Both rooms were very nice, they just need to make sure internet is in all the rooms. However we would stay here again
