Palazzo Motor Lodge

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We only stayed one night at Palazzo Motor Lodge, but we absolutely loved it! Everything was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and very well cared for. The lovely lady who checked us in was an absolute standout. She was incredibly warm, helpful, and genuinely friendly — within minutes it felt more like chatting with someone we’d known for years than checking into a motel. That kind of genuine hospitality makes such a difference, especially when you’re traveling. Our room was quiet, comfortable, and had everything we needed. You can tell a lot of care goes into this place, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Such a wonderful find in Nelson. We would happily stay at Palazzo again and absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting!"
