Big, big suite. Great bathroom. It was very noisy though. There was renovations demolition happening next door! Not the hotels fault. But would have been nice to have known

BKs Premier Motel Palmerston North
The location was amazing.. Very walkable to downtown. The room was large and the beds were comfortable. Could be a touch cleaner, just vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom floors a bit better. We would stay again since the cost is low and we can live with a little dirt for a night.

Friendly staff, nice room in the day but on a loud corner at night, lots of traffic noise kept me awake.
