We stayed 3 nights. The Motel is old fashioned but really comfortable, spotlessly clean. So good to have ample comfortable seating as well as a table and chairs. Daily service to replace tea, coffee, towels.

Nice stay in Palmy

A group of us stayed for a sporting event in Palmerston North. Clean and tidy rooms, convenient to a supermarket so we cooked our own food. Two minor niggles: the beds were very soft so a bit uncomfortable and it was quite hot when we were there are the pedestal fans provided were insufficient in keeping the rooms cool overnight.
