Great place to stay. The only drawback was that our room was on the corner of a busy intersection and road noise was a problem. Otherwise very comfortable, convenient and very well equipped

We stayed for two nights while exploring Nelson and Abel Tasman. We enjoyed the Sails. Well appointed and clean with a very comfortable bed. Would stay again.

Our room was very clean and included a kitchenette. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful with recommendations for mass transit and with arranging an extra shuttle (free) to the airport when we forgot something. The location is only about five minutes to the airport and the free shuttle service was prompt. Our room abutted the main street to the airport, but it was very quiet after business/rush hour.
