We have generally been staying in hostels but chose this location because of its price and facilities available. Although it is counted as a motel there is a kitchen available for use. There are shared bathrooms but they are very clean. We stayed in a twin room which was spacious and had free tea and coffee provided in the room. The owner was lovely, very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equiped and there was a nice dining area. It is about an 8 minute walk into town and very easy to get to with a car. An added bonus was free internet from 5-10pm. Very close by is the espanade and park which is lovely to walk to or around. Would stay here again if I returned to Palmerston North. more
