Very welcoming pet friendly motel
What a rarity to be welcomed with a smile, I got one here. I was asked if I had breakfast organised, I didnt have, so was given the option. I was asked how I would like the eggs and bacon cooked. The breakfast was great and exactly how we had discussed. I could not fault the place. I may have given it a more welcoming name, but that is just an opinion. One of the best moter experiences for years. Well done

Not happy.
The motel looks lovely on the outside, the inside not so much. It has old uncomfortable beds, very outdated televisions. Also our tv kept glitching it was very annoying to watch!. The room was tiny for the price I think it was defenitly one of the worst in the area. I have paid less at a motel and got a way better experience. Sorry to say I don't have anything positive to wright about this motel.

Comfortable and Clean
Lovely staff and very clean room. The room was perfect for staying in solo and felt safe. Good off street parking and easy to find. A minutes drive to the CBD. Good value for money and the complementary chocolates were a pleasant surprise after a long drive.

a pleasant one night stay. Easy to find, located near main roads (but difficult to get out of in the morning traffic). Rooms feel a bit close and there's a bit of noise bleed when your neighbour goes to the toilet or plugs things into the wall. Breakfast is cheap and generous, water pressure good and electric blankets are great!

Short stay
Was in palmerston North for one night with child entering the Wheetbix tri. Unfortunately other guests were very loud and we got very little sleep as a result. Rooms were nice but quite basic for the cost. service was great from motel owners who let me keep my car in the carpark till 2pm after check-out. Greatly appreciated.
