Only stayed a night but was able to sample the friendly welcome from the hosts who wanted to help me. i arrived by bus in the centre of town and the motel is quite a walk from there so be prepared for that. If I ever go back to Palmerston North, I would definately stay here again.

Many thanks for taking the time to post your review and thank you for your recommendation. Re the15 - 20 minute walk with luggage in tow - It's a shame you didn't grab another bus as they stop right outside our motel complex. Safe travels... Keith and Brony More

Stayed one night when on business and booked based on the Trip Advisor rating. Very friendly and helpful owners. It was a little way out of the main centre. The room was spacious, immaculate and had everything I needed so can't be faulted. Very reasonable price too. The only thing was the decor was a little old fashioned, which certainly... More

Jo appreciate you taking the time to post your review. Pleased you found the room everything you needed. Decor - we did 1/2 of the units last year and are waiting (due in 6 weeks I have been told) for new bedspreads, drapes and comforters for the remaining Executive units. Laughed at your 'ex railway' style coffee cup comment -... More

This is a very clean, very well organised and pleasant motel not too far from the centre of Palmerston North. It was quiet and the couple who run it are extremely helpful and good to deal with. I would recommend this without hesitation.

We booked this motel on the strength of the recommendations on Trip Advisor, and we were not disappointed. The room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower was EXCELLENT. The room contained a well-appointed kitchenette with coffee and biscuits and dishes for use. The room was very spacious as well. Bronwyn went out of her way... More

Keith and I have last week celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary but I do well remember the excitement of our very first wedding anniversary... a long time ago. :-) We don't claim to be 'luxury' accommodation but feel that Harringtons is an honest Qualmark 4 Star and priced accordingly.

I was late checking in and was rung to see if I was still coming and to say the key would be left out for me. Very comfortable room with everything one needed. Will definitely request again when next travelling to PN. Also a short walk to the delicious Elm Cafe for breakfast.
