We stayed in a studio apartment, which was lovely and clean. The carpet was new and clean, as was the bathroom. It was great having a smart TV with Netflix. It is short drive to the town centre, and a short walk to the supermarket.

I would stay here again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was better than expected. It was spacious and comfortable. I could park for free right outside my room, so loading luggage was a breeze.

A great surprise
Last-minute switch to this hotel from another that was not acceptable. Our expectations were not high but we were pleasantly surprised. Bed was very comfortable, room was very spacious. Small balcony outside. Road noise minimal. Bathroom very large and somewhat spa-like in Its furnishings. TV was good, internet was fast, a/c was working and good! Restaurants within walking distance. Good amount of local info in the room binder.

Very comfortable. Nice quality. If you’re staying in Palmerston North, this is the best place to stay. Cons: bed very soft (subjective), no tissue boxes in the room, no option to opt out of getting the room cleaned each day.
