“A very pleasant stay!”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

From a very welcoming 'Front Desk' to an extremely comfortable clean room, we had a very pleasant stay. Also, a great base from which to explore Nelson & the surrounding region. One suggestion: Ask guests who smoke to avoid smoking outside the other guests' rooms. I think one of our neighbours was smoking outside/nearby our room & we could smell... More
